Hello, I use Busybox Pro which in current version install busybox 1.21.0 onto system, but for some reason it's later replaced with busybox 1.20.2git or something such. My question is if I can stop this permanent replacement by older version, coz I obviouslu want to have latest busybox version installed.
using ThP kernel v9

I keep getting BusyBox app updates on market which I just accept to get them out of 'update' status (they don't install at this stage)
Should I then do the subsequent install for the latest Busybox version or just leave current version? I'm on FreeX10 Beta 4.
Its no Problem with FreeX10 but with Xrecovery becouse Xrecovery needs and older own Version of Busybox and doesnt work anymore with the newest.

Had the same issue when I tried to root my stock 2.2 Vibrant.
Busybox has to be installed somewhere in /system, I believe. The version of 2.2 that Samsung Kies installs, however, has /system packed completely full of bloatware, so there's no room for busybox.
What worked for me was to root with SuperOneClick, then reboot my phone. That got the Superuser app working, so I could use a file manager (I used Super Manager) with root privileges to go into /system and delete some of the bloat to make room for busybox.
An alternative choice is to just flash something else, instead of sticking with a rooted stock 2.2 firmware. As far as I know, all stock 2.1 builds have room in /system for whatever you might need to put there.
let me try to install file manage and clean some unwanted files and try again...

I used Super Manager for the job, but I think about any file manager that can use root privileges would work.
Be sure to only delete bloat. Stuff like Sims 3, Amazon mp3, Slacker Radio, that sort of thing. Those are really just apps, and have no business being in /system. They're only put there because T-Mobile didn't want us to be able to delete the bloat they were paid to pre-load onto our phones. /system also holds all sorts of stuff your phone needs to work properly, so you can end up forced to Odin to stock if you delete stuff that's not bloat.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=925400 is the thread that I followed to get root working on my previously stock 2.2 Froyo Vibrant. It's /system/app that you need to clean up bloat from.
Thanks i could delete unwanted apps and free up some space in system folder. I could unlock my phone and use AT&T sim.
Hi, i need to install busybox cause i want to give that v6 script a go. But it wont let me do it using the market apps. it says i dont have root access when i hit the install button.
can someone give me some basic steps to installing it please ?
im using miks CM7 rom.
also after failing to install it my wifi doesnt work. so ive had to reflash the rom twice now, im pretty over it !
just download busybox installer from the market. after installing u can download the busybox version of your choice through the installer app.
press the thanks button if i helped u
Every rooted ROM had Busybox built-in, so does CM7. If you simply need another version try reflashing the ROM and make sure you are using the installer that works, there's one that doesn't work on CM7 (Search the market for pname:"com.jrummy.busybox.installer").
i tried both installers on the market, they both failed with a rooting error. Im not going to try again because after it fails, it ****s my wifi up and i have to reflash the rom.
you say busybox is installed already tho? my phone doesnt think it is. i tried to run a script manager and it said i need busybox..
Unless you have a custom non-rooted CyanogenMod build, you should have Busybox 1.16.2 pre-installed. Run the busybox command from adb / terminal emulator and make sure you have allowed Script Manager Superuser permissions.
I tried the new version of onanroid-backup from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1620255 and the script said me, i have to install a newer version of Busybox ( >= v1.20 ).
I had only v1.18 from titanium backup before. I serched in the google market and found 2 apps, BusyBox ans Busybox Installer. I tried both with the same breakdown.
They worked good and I coud try the onandroid backup - but only up to the next reboot. Then the legend stucks on the HTC-logo and only a pull-out of the battery helped.
Fortunately I had CWM and an older nandroid-backup on my SD-card ...
Anybody knows how I can install busybox without stuck ...?
Current version installed : v1.20.2-cm9
Busybox is installed to /system/bin/
Tried both (even Smart and Normal Install) (xbin and bin) but my phone just freezes when I do that with Busybox Pro.
Meaning I have to force a reset with the power-button.Did uninstall the application twice also, tried even the free-version.
With Busybox Installer the application I was able to install v1.20.2-cm9 without a problem. Verified the installation with (terminal emulator) v.20/2-cm9 bionic. Yes this application is not been updated for four months, meaning that it doesn't have the newest Busybox version.
Is there a other way to get Busybox 1.22.0 installed?
this is so damn interesting. With Busybox Pro it keeps freezing the installation. I downloaded Busybox X. Click on install button and 1.21.1 is installed. Then I was hoping that I would be able to update it to 1.22.0 in Busybox Pro itself, boom it freezes again . Well I am happy with 1.21.1 atleast.
Did inform the creaters of Busybox. Hopefully they fix the file-priveleges problem.
