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.
So guys see i dont know to to automatically install it can anyone tell me how? i tryed to download to the phone but it didnt work because i got an error. When i try to mannualy install it i download files to pc and the with the usb i passed them to my phone. When i open my file manager ghost commander i tryed to copy the 3 files busybox clock.. and the xrecovery.tar to the system/bin folder. THe busybox nad the clock.. were copied but the xrecovery didnt so if can anyone help me i would really appreciate it
Thank you in advance
Hi,
I don't think it's possible to automatically install xrecovery.
You can find informations and tutos here :

Hope it will be useful for you.
man see
- Download and unpack the recovery package
- use Root Explorer to remount /system rw
- copy the content of the package (3 files) into /system/bin folder
this is what i have to do but how do i remount the system?
and when i copy the 3 files i got an error and the xrecovery.tar isnt copied
but the 2 other files are.
After you unpack those 3 files to sd card use root explorer to copy them into system/bin
in bin folder you have to mount r/w,there's button in right corner of the screen
after you move them,you have to set permissions for them
so the only way to do it is to buy the root explorer?
Thank you very much
guys i did everything that it said but still when the logo of SE appears the one with the icon of SE i press back and nothing is happening. Is this because i had the busybox installed from an app of the market named busybox installed?

Very probably with the busybox version you installed is NOT compatible with xRecovery, I tried different busybox, and finally got it work, hope this may help.

The simpliest way to install CWM is to plug your phone with debugging mode to your PC and run DMR.bat from this file. More information you'll find in this post.

Mount r/w for /system in root explorer and then copy the files over. GingerDX does not need CWM recovery, it only needs xRecovery to install. So root your x8, install xRecovery, backup phone, full wipe, install GingerDX, wipe cache and dalvik-cache and then reboot. Tada! GingerDX will be running on your phone.
Tada! MD5 missmatch? Did you know how to fix it? Thx again
Sent from my E15i using XDA App
Search for "md5 mismatch" on xda.
By the way:
When did you get this?
Because you can get this only when you flash a ROM/backup that consists of syste.img, data.img, cache.img and nandroid.md5 and GingerDX is in an update.zip, so it´s only a .zip-file that contains the /system-folder and a script that makes it flashable in a recovery, so you can´t get a md5 mismatch on this.
hey bro you need xrecovery version 0.1 and you flash it try first a Ginger DX v09 like i d then upgrade ginger dx have clockowrmod installed you can reboot in it i will post a link
Latest versions of GingerDX for X8 need CWM
and I have xRecovery installed on my stock rom. I would update first to CWM my phone and then install GingerDX v016...what I should do? I don't want to brick my phone! Anyone could explain me the correct procedure? Thanks

Flash dualboot with xrecovery then you will have cwm and xrecovery at the same time. You can find dualboot.zip from the multiboot thread

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 Everyone. I think I need some helps actually. I m sorry of my poor english.
I would like to know if i install the busybox, can i still hv system updates from google?
I hv previously installed busybox in system/bin, but then i saw the suggestion which tell me to install it in the system/xbin instead of bin.
Therefore i install it again in xbin, and i found that there re also busybox files in bin, so i delete them directly. can i actually do that??
After i did that, my phone seems to be normal without any problems.
Then, i try to uninstall the busybox but it didn't allow me to do so. After that i try to install another apps called Busybox installer and i press delete busybox in that apps. The app told me that it was successful, however when i go into the system/xbin, the busybix files are still there. So What should i do?
I apologize again for my poor English. I reli need helps.:crying:

Download "Busybox Installer" from Google Play, then, select the version of Busybox you are trying to install, it will install it easily.
Anyway, you will still have google updates.
