try downloading titanium backup and hitting the problems button when you open it. It will download a newer version of busybox. Which rom are you trying to flash? Are you using rom manager or bootstrap recovery to flash roms??

Ok ill try it I've tried all the roms that someone posted here saying that they work and they don't right know im just rooted with no theme or rom just stock droid 2 and I use rom manager but also have bootstrap

 

[furbearingmammal]

You need bootstrap to install ROMs.

 

[sanchez2504]

Downloaded titanium back up and tried the problem button and it say I don't have root privilege

 

[furbearingmammal]

Then you're not rooted. To reroot follow the method linked to in my sig.

im confused doesnt make sense to me
Steps 1- 5: Change to the /tmp folder on your phone, copy the file to the tmp directory, change its permissions. run it, and wait.

What's confusing you? Type the blue in the links below. That's just an explanation of what you're doing.

If that didn't answer, please bit a bit more specific so I can answer exactly what you're asking about.

 

[sanchez2504]

thats what i thought but when i try to do the blue parts it says not found

 

[furbearingmammal]

Make absolutely sure you're putting in every space, slash, and period you see. It might help to print the directions out.

Let me know if you still are having issues after you try that and I'll see what I can do to help.

 

[sanchez2504]

yeah i am and after i do it says no such file or not found ill try again

 

[sanchez2504]

when i go into terminal emulator it has this at the top
export path=/data/local/bin:$path
$ $

 

[furbearingmammal]

That's what you're supposed to see. So far so good.

 

[sanchez2504]

got it to work that time wasnt doing the first space but when i force stop the app then o back into it i still have a $ symbol not a # symbol

 

[furbearingmammal]

Did you type su? That's what gets it to turn to a #.
