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.
I keep getting a notificaton that my su binary is out of date. I try to update, but the update fails on gaining root access. I can't use voltage control because superuser won't save my permissions unless the su binary is updated, and the permission request keeps popping up on voltage control
Anyone else having the same problem? Is there a fix?

(BTW this is all on rooted EC05 Froyo stock.) Ok, but how? In app mgmt all it let me do is clear the app's data. It fails at the same point in updating even after that. Can you describe how to clear it step by step?
ETA - just uninstalled the update and unchecked the auto-update in the damn Market. Even reboots and reinstalls did nothing. "If it ain't broke..." etc. I await anyone's foolproof method for successfully updating, can't have a non-automatic approval for this thing when I'm constantly using Roam Control etc.
The same thing happened to me. I rebooted and was able to install the updated binary, but it reverted to the original binary that came with the Genocide 2.0 kernel on subsequent reboots.
There is an update to the Genocide 2.0 kernel in their thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=961614&page=284
It comes with the updated binary. No problems since flashing it.
The binary cannot be updated if it is installed in /sbin, which is the case for SRF 1.2, I haven't checked other roms at this point but it is likely to be the case.
According to the developer's website, this is because /sbin is actually a part of boot.img, which can't be changed even if the system is mounted with write permissions - that's why some users have been able to update the binary, only to have it revert on reboot (the version that they updated wasn't actually written to disk, just stored in RAM)
But we can't simply put another copy of su in an update-friendly location, because /sbin is usually the first entry in the system PATH variable - this means that the old one in /sbin will always be found first, and the system will always run the first match that it finds

I saw that also when I was looking into why I couldn't update the binary. I'm running SRF1.2 and was able to get the 3.0 binary to stick by updating the Genocide kernel. Could be dumb luck, or something goofy with my phone, but after 2 reboots, SU is still showing binary version 3.0.
Edit: Link to similar discussion: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1279238&page=3
Yea, that linked thread was mine. My last post there links to a retweet with an updated TwilightZone v1.1.1 kernel. I had a request to remove direct download links for the kernel and changelog as they wanted the actual kernel dev to be the one to post the update personally. (Unsure if they will do so or not.)
When I navigate to the update the binaries feature in SU v3 using this updated kernel, the initial binary check says they're up-to-date. However, if I force the update it still fails due to the /sbin path. This kernel update replaced the old binaries with the new.
I've read in the many SU binary threads, that you can try a different kernel and most will update fine. It seems TwilightZone is affected due to the /sbin path, but others like Genocide are fine. Try out another kernel and report back.
BTW: if you follow the retweet and use that kernel, read the changelog instructions.

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!

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.

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.

Enjoy!

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.
Edit: confirmed method from post #4 worked

I'm new to android, can't help
sit and wait
I have been trying to get xposed working since I acquired root. I believe there is a mismatch between the processor and installed os. The CPU identifies itself as a 64-bit (aarch64) but there is no app_process64 in this OS. I tried touching the file and running the installer but that just soft bricked my tablet. Looking at the spec sheet it seems this CPU does not support 64-bit. The normal 32-bit Arm installer gave me the same results. May be time to ask @rovo89 for some advice.
I have managed to get Xposed working on my Kindle. I will lay out the steps I followed. I used the installer from this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/material-design-xposed-installer-t3137758. I installed the "exposed-v87-sdk22-arm64" framework. At this point I received an error about /system/bin/app_process64 being missing. This will be important later. I restarted the tablet and ended up at the Fire boot screen. I plugged the tablet into my computer and tried to adb. I was able to adb and su. I went into /system/bin/ to see what was amiss based on the previous error. I noticed Xposed created a couple files ending with "_xposed" in this directory. I also noticed I had a file named "app_process64_xposed" in this directory. This is when the previous error clicked. I never had a file named "app_process64" on my tablet. The installer should not have created this file.
I fixed this error by running these commands in adb:
1. 'su'
2. 'mount -w -o remount /system'
3. 'rm /system/bin/app_process64_xposed'
4. 'reboot'
Crossed my fingers and waited for tablet to reboot. Got the typical updating system partition screen and waited 10 mins. Xposed was activated and working. Success.
Hope this helps some of you get this working. I would suggest deleting the "app_process64_xposed" file after you run the Xposed installer but before you reboot.

Exposed framework is like an underlying interface to tweak just about everything in the android UI. It's behavior. Things like the battery, or order in the status bar, etc etc.

Hi i had to use kingoroot pc for root access again then the above commands worked. Even though i was fully rooted and had SuperSu installed.
Edit: I think I may have changed SuperSu permissions to "prompt" instead of "grant", which is why it was being denied?
Anyway its all working... Sucess!!

edit: its working now, thanks!
I had the same issue as @ahac85. The kingoroot method he mentioned worked for me as well. You guys find any good/cool xposed modules that worked?
I was wondering if I changed my supersu gettings from grant to prompt would mess anything up? So far I haven't touched it, but would like the normal pop-up prompt that happens when su is requested. And if it doesn't work, that is just weird.
EDIT: Fixed by flashing latest factory images via fastboot, then the latest TWRP, then MagiskSU.
Hi there,
I'm rooted on stock 7.1.1 but I can't seem to make write changes consistently on the system partition. I was trying to rename NotoColorEmoji.ttf in /system/fonts so I could copy across the version with the iOS emojis, and somehow the rename worked so it's now named NotoColorEmojiOld.ttf - I managed to do this with root permissions in Solid Explorer. However, when I try and copy across the new NotoColorEmoji.ttf to the fonts folder, Solid Explorer says it's unable to do so. I've tried rebooting into TWRP, mounting system and using the file manager but it fails with Error 1. What's worse is I can't seem to rename NotoColorEmojiOld.ttf back to NotoColorEmoji.ttf either - neither Solid Explorer nor TWRP work for this despite both obviously having root access, both throw errors. As a result I have no emoji font file so all my emojis are blank boxes.
Any help in fixing this would be appreciated!

Nope, just plain old systemless SuperSU.

For some reason the app claims I don't have root permission despite the SuperSU dialog popping up and me granting it root.

Selinux didn't work for me at first on 7.1.1, I got the same error as you. But I went into twrp made sure system mounted, go into twrp terminal and cd into /system/bin and /system/xbin and in both of these directories type in (touch su) with out parenthesis. Reboot and see if that makes selinux changer works now.

That got the app working and I was able to change SELinux to permissive, but I still can't make lasting changes to /system unfortunately.
Bumping - anyone else have any ideas? I'm not so much concerned with not being able to change emoji fonts as I am concerned with the ramifications of not having system write access - if anything breaks or comes up in the future that I need rw system for, I won't be able to fix stuff unless I sort this out.
