Does an update.zip exist for the incredible to add busybox to a stock rooted Rom? Or is there anyone willing to make one? I found one for the hero where they stripped down a rom and just left busybox, apps2sd, and Su. It would be greatly appreciated by many noobs like myself.

I believe Stericson has an app out that installs busy box for you with a single click. Just search "Busy box" in the market and it should come up. Not sure as to whether or not it works on the Incredible, as I've an Evo, but it should.
I tried that but it failed saying either I it couldn't remount or I wasn't rooted.

I think the unrevoked tool installs it for you.
I'll try that again, but I used 3.0 to root it. Maybe 3.1 will install it, I thought that was only windows fixes from 3.0
maybe
kind of a rookie here, but couldn't you just install titanium backup and then click the problems button. I think it downloads and install busybox??
Nice call!!! Worked like a charm. Thx.
NO

Wouldn't be permenant since NAND is still locked. Would lose it after reboot and have to do same thing over and over after every reboot.
http://www.unrevoked.com/incredible/payload-update.zip
Apply this payload-update.zip and it will install busybox. Just go to recovery and choose install zip from SD card and then choose this one
Then to test
go to cmd prompt
type adb shell
then when in shell type
busybox and you will see its now installed.
If you want the latest busybox, I've attached 1.16.2 freshly compiled.
One issue I ran into was that all the info on the forums has busybox being installed in /system/xbin. The PATH variable has /system/bin before /system/xbin, so that means the original symlinks to "toolbox" are getting picked up first - I don't know if I'm the only one who was annoyed by ls -al returning "-al: No such file or directory"
I guess "toolbox" didn't support this, so you can either install busybox to /system/bin, or leave it in /system/xbin and create a symlink called toolbox in /system/bin that points to busybox in /system/xbin.
As usual, backup your "toolbox" binary first before removing it from /system/bin.
Now ls -al returns a correct listing and I see no app breakage by the symlink method - Ti Backup runs just fine without needing to install its own busybox.
*edit - I guess this doesn't really answer the OP, but I figured I would share this anyway.
ok so I found a side effect - WiFi doesnt work after this. There seems to be a problem with dhcpcd and the new busybox, even though external dhcp support was compiled in...guess I've got some digging to do...
http://codehydra.com/Dinc/RootStock/roto-rooter.zip
that is a busybox install I ripped out of a N1 froyo root update.zip Cyanogen did, modded for the D-Inc.
Seems to work well for me.
the easy way is just to install titanium backup from the market and then click problems and it will install busybox for you in like 5 seconds
Not Really
... but it does NOT install the newest busybox; just one which is compatible with Titanium Backup.
Busybox.net shows v1.17 is the latest (unstable) release, and v1.16.2 is the latest stable. Titanium Backup pushes something in the v1.15 area.
http://www.busybox.net/
Also when I did it through titanium and went to busybox to install latest it said my system had none.
I have a busybox 1.16.2 version that I ripped from one of the posted ROMs that I can attach. It works on the Inc, and I think the whole DHCP / resolv.conf thing works too. At least it's the only version I tried where I can get wget working properly. You may need to create /system/etc/resolv.conf with some valid nameservers first though. Let me know if you want me to post it.
Hmm, nevermind. I tried with the busybox version I have, and WiFi does not get an IP address. Seems to be the same problem.
If you track it down, when you compile your version check if wget works properly also. There were some issues with that and DNS lookups. Don't forget you may need a valid resolv.conf.

I second this , I used ones off the rooting forums and it never quite worked right until I let titanium backup install it for me. Also its much easier than pushing files to your device if you are unfamiliar with doing it, because you can download tb from market and it does the work for you

Easiest way to stay current is to install the Stericson app. It can't install it for you due to the NAND lock, but
1) It's trivial to extract it and install manually from the .apk file.
2) It will give you an easy notification via the marketplace that a new version is available.

Hi, jcase, Thanks for your reply. I just use Grdlock's All-In-One Auto-Root Script's room. I think he use your rooted ota rom. Did I doing anything wrong? I could su successfully on my droid eris. Thanks a lot
Contact grdlock, my ota root rom is obsolete as better ones came along and I removed it.

I remember I didnt do the step 3 of GrdLock.
That is
ECHO 1) Install jcase's live wallpaper update
ECHO 2) Install Launcher2 (Nexus Launcher)
ECHO 3) Install Flan Gallery (Nexus Photo Gallery)
ECHO 4) Remove HTC lockscreen
Does this affect the google map?
no, it would be the rom.

a solution to this is most likely to remove the apk from /system/app. this can b done a few ways but this one will do: adb shell rm /system/app/Maps.apk
anyhow its most likely due to the apps sigs. as in it was signed with test keys or something. also i know sometimes some apps wont update from /system/app i always add apps that can or will update to /data/app and symlink it in my roms. also i do this with larger apps like maps, streets, quickoffice, and so on. its a good practice i think. its worked out well for me

Has anyone been able to install the new SuperUser v3 on their vibrant?
I flashed the new version released this morning, and it didnt complete successfully, instead giving me a syslink error about /system/xbin and /bin/su, and then I couldnt boot (stuck at /system/xbin/busybox terminated by signal 11).
Gonna restore to a previous backup, but was wondering if anyone else had similar issues w. the new SU.
Thanks!
I installed it by hand, its working fine. (Take a look at the META-INF/com/google/..... script, do all that -including file permissions-, then look at the fixperms script and do that. For fixperms I just ran it from sd in recovery mode since it messes with the packages xml db..)
Mine is allowing su permissions for app access(rom manager for instance) the only issue I've noticed is it force closes when I click the superuser icon...
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
yeah mine messes up when i click the icon too...
Do you all have busybox installed? If so, which version? I reverted back to 1.17.1 I think it is, and flashed the file in Clockwork recovery and it worked fine. Had to re-allow all the app permissions but it's working great.

Running on 1.17.1 and it doesn't flash correctly. Gives an error about failing to syslink /system/xbin/ to bin/su, and then SU doesn't work AT all. Had to nandroid back
The problem is that on our phones, busybox is stored in /sbin not /xbin. This slight variation in standards leads to troubles.

Good catch! I didnt even notice the change......
I have a Verizon GT that I may have to exchange. Since there is no real return to defaults capability and no officially available ROM image to reload, I may need to remove some of the things I have installed. So far I have rooted it and installed BusyBox to facilitate running VPN. I know how to unroot it, but how do I remove BusyBox? The installer does not seem to have an uninstall option. Thoughts?
First of all find intallation directory and then remove (delete) it using Root Explorer. If you know how did you install it you can look at the script and find it.
Typically Busybox is installed in /system/xbin
I think you can leave it as is because nobody will look at your Tab. It will be reflashed and retested because they realize that it was used.
Can you not find it in the market and while in the market select Uninstall?

busy box
yes, all you can do is uninstall busy box on apps manager.also cannot delete or move it when accessing by root explorer. Also when rooting by superone click it prompts that if you want to install busybox, so did it..there are two versions of busybox in the market.pls help regarding with this problem.any one
Okay, so heres my case i rooted my play and installed the custom ROM GBTweaked0. Since then i couldn't access my Recovery or install my old rom from my SD card. Me being a n00b, i tried uninstalling busybox, the uninstall failed and since then my apps seem to have lost root access and im missing /system/bin/sh.
Please if anyone could help me get the sh file back i'd greatly appreciate it. i just want my phone running back on my stock rom

i already tried reinstalling busybox from the market and it claims it doesnt have root access even though it does. i made sure in super user
you could find the busybox files and move them manually to the correct location

i dont think that that would work either because system/bin is a read only folder. so even if i knew how to manually install busybox the way your talking about i don't think that it would let me.
never mind i flashed to stock 2.3.2 using WotanServer. Thanks for the help

yes, but like i said in my first post, i tried uninstalling busybox which deleted the sh file in my system/bin folder which must have taken root access away.
But again, it's all good now cus like i said i managed to flash back to stock 2.3.2 using WotanServer and updated to 2.3.3, rooted, restored all my apps, and now my phone is back to normal.
Hi all!
First off, I'm new to xda Developers so please excuse me if this is in the wrong forum! I thought I'd post information about a tool I wrote here which roots stock 4.0.3 leak on the A500, A501 and assumingly the A200 too. Its literally one click - just enable USB debugging. "ICS Root" also installs, optionally, FaceLock and Trebuchet (although FaceLock doesn't want to work. It lets you set it up though =P)
Since version 5.0.1 this also now works with the new 0.022.00 leak!
The full post is over at TegraOwners: http://forum.tegraowners.com/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=350
The only real system requirements are Windows (with .Net Framework 4) and an Iconia on the stock 4.0.3 leak. I hope somebody finds this useful its been tested by myself and a couple of TegraOwners users and it works well.
In terms of the technique used, it uses the great Jay Freeman's mempodroid exploit to gain root at which point it mounts /system rw and installs su, busybox and Superuser.apk so no real surprises there. Installing Trebuchet adds that apk to /system/app and installing FaceLock installs the apk to /system/app before installing the pittpatt folder to the flexrom (mounted as /system/vendor). I plan to open source it when all the requested features have been implemented and the code has been cleaned up.
Thanks!

why would it not work with cwm version?
With this tool does system remain writeable after rooting?
What about flashing CWM with acer recovery installer once rooted? I guess it would screw the bootloader...

If you are on the cwm with the HC boot loader it should work as Its Magic will be run..
if you are on the new boot loader as in the full non modded leak.. It will give you secure boot error ..
The new boot loader Blocks its magic.
Thanks
Hey this worked easy. I had to re-install USB drivers and make sure I had the latest from Google. Other then that, hit the button, wait about 1.5 minutes, and it rebooted! No problems thus far! Thanks Again!

After reading the other post, I have found that I cannot write to the system directory from the device itself. The folder attributes indicate that it is set to write, however File Explorer HD will not let me. I have tried to create a folder in the /system and it will not accept the addition. The strange thing is that Root Check says it is rooted, File Explorer HD accepts putting it into Root Explore, but that is it. It is odd. I will try to reapply the Root to see if that makes a difference.

Please, read the op before bringing this up. This method is for half root, its the only way possible right now on stock leak ics. There is a special script you need to use to mpunt system. You can find it in the stock leak thread, run it in terminal or use rom toolbox and set it as a script to run at boot because rebooting loses write privileges.

Version 3 came out this morning
It features some bug fixes as well as a completely new remount menu which mounts /system rw properly on the fly. Tested with a busybox installer app
Enjoy!
Thanks for your tool blackthund3r !
I tried it with the new leak from this morning and it doesn't seem to work anymore
Edit :
Just to be a little more specific, the app says the process was OK and state that the tablet is rooted but the tablet doesn't reboot by itseld and su is not installed. I tried to install su manually but it's unable to find a previous su package on the system.

ah okay it appears a completely new leak has been released. It is possible that the mempodroid exploit has been patched up. I'm gonna look into it soon. I can't much tonight - I have school work. I'll see what can be done and what the differences between leaks are.

Hi blackthund3r
Thanks for the update 3.1 but could you please fix the problem on your hosting website? clicking on this file send to an error warning.
The other files can be downloaded though.
can someone post a mirror to the 3.1 version? current link is not working.
can somebody also confirm, if i root with this tool, i will be able to reinstall my clockworkmod recovery through 'acer recovery installer' and flash any other cwm rom? or do i have to downgrade to honeycomb 3.01, install iconiaroot for honeycomb and then acer recovery installer?
Gersma,
I'll be able to answer to your question as soon as I'll be able to download this tool and test it.
