Android :: BusyBox - How To Use Terminal IP Command?
Sep 16, 2009I'm using a Google phone running Android, and I need to figure out how to use the terminal's
'ip' command. I found out that Android uses BusyBox in its terminal, but I can't find any help or tutorials or any information regarding it other than the basic information given in the terminal help. Can anyone point me to a site that would give me more information on how to use the commands, or tell me how to use the 'IP' command if you are familiar with it?
Motorola Milestone :: How To Install Busybox To Android 2.1?
May 10, 2010I've been looking to install busybox on UK Milestone 2.1 and have found only a few pages of instructions, but all of these seem to come up with errors, I dunno if its the new firmware or just something I'm doing wrong with ADB. I'm fairly new at this but I know my way around flashing and had a shot at ADB so I'm not entirely a newbie. Anyone know of any (working) how-to's for busybox?
View 9 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: BusyBox Installation - No ADB Tools Directory
Dec 16, 2009Yes my phone is rooted. Trying to run metamorph on the droid but I apparently need busybox first. I am having problems installing it. I tried to follow the directions:
cd to your adb tools directory
adb push busybox /data/local/busybox
adb shell
su
cd /data/local
chmod 755 busybox
./busybox
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system
mkdir /system/xbin
/data/local/busybox cp /data/local/busybox /system/xbin
/data/local/busybox cp /data/local/busybox /system/bin
cd /system/xbin
busybox --install .
mount -o ro,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system
sync
reboot
I don't have an adb tools directory and adb isn't even a command on my phone. There has to be something I am missing. Also, if I get those working, how would I get the file where it needs to be? I tried copying it from my SD card into the directory, but it never shows up.

View 8 Replies View RelatedGeneral :: When And Where To Install Busybox
Dec 28, 2013Should Busybox (and the Linux stuff it downloads) be installed directly after rooting, or after every single flashing of a ROM? I am assuming this has to be done after every flash only.
Another thing, should Busybox be installed to /system/bin, or /system/xbin? By default Busybox wants to install to /system/bin. I am safely assuming that formatting /system in recovery would remove all the Busybox components. To some people, formatting /system before flashing a ROM is imperative.

HTC Hero :: 2.1 Stock Root - How To Get Busybox?
Aug 10, 2010So I have used the one click root thingy. Have the superuser app. Tested. I have root (look screenshot). Now I want to install busy box. When I got the app from market to install the latest I got this. What I want to know. Is it safe and if so whats safe to erase from the system folder. (would kinda like to get rid of the stocks and footprints app) but really not sure its not linked somehow and I get some big system error , since these apps run all the time. (actually I want to install busy box to be able to remove these apps anyway). I installed titanium backup and it installed busybox version 16 or soemthing. Problem is other apps like the cache cleaner doesnt find busybox installed even if I do it via titanium app.

Sep 21, 2010I'd like to install rooted 2.2 on my Desire as per Lekky's guide, but there's a problem with BusyBox - it doesn't currently work with the Desire. As most of the root apps seem to need BusyBox to run (including Titanium), should I just wait for a fixed version of BusyBox before trying to upgrade to 2.2, or using any other rom for that matter? Is there an alternative method I could use? Also, my Desire is on 3UK network. Do I need to use a goldcard to upgrade to 2.2/ install another rom? I'm not clear on this bit.

General :: Busybox Dd Command Not Working?
Feb 28, 2012I'm currently working on a project which involves imaging Android phones - specifically, the program I've written is mean to automate identifying the memory block containing the userdata and then using the following sequence of commands (using Android Debug Bridge) to copy it to the computer that the phone is connected to:
Code:
adb forward tcp:5555 tcp:5555
adb shell
busybox nc –l –p 5555 –e dd if=/dev/mtd/mtd[mtd block number] bs=4096
This is done in command prompt and then you have to manually open another command prompt and type in:
Code:
adb forward tcp:5555 tcp:5555
nc 127.0.0.1 5555 | dd of=[chosen file name].bin bs=4096 -- progress
This copies the memory block over without any problems when done manually and even shows you in real time how much data has been transferred.The problem I have is with automating the process in C#. Specifically, I can get every stage of it to work through using a process to write the commands to standard input and using a tcp listening port to receive the data. Apart from this crucial element of the process:
Code:
adb shell "busybox nc –l –p 5555 –e dd if=/dev/mtd/mtd[mtd block number] bs=4096"
For some reason, no matter how I try to phrase it or do it, C# hates that command and won't execute it. I can manually type the exact same thing into the command prompt and it works fine but trying to do it in C# just leads to busybox acting as though I typed the command in incorrectly - this is what it gives me:
Code:
BusyBox v1.15.2 <2009-11-27 10:38:30 GMT> multi-call binary
Usage: nc [-in] [-wN] [-l] [-p Port] [-f FILENAME|PADDR PORT] [-e PROG]
Open a pipe to IP:port or file[code]....
At the moment I'm using a script to send the commands to the command prompt but that's a kludge that I'd really prefer not to have to use.

Dec 10, 2009If you are rooted try this out.
Step 1) download busybox binary to your adb tools directory
Step 2) cd to your adb tools directory
Step 3) adb push busybox /data/local/busybox
Step 4) adb shell
Step 5) cd /data/local
Step 6) chmod 755 busybox
Step 7) ./busybox
Now to have this run so droid explorer and detect your phone and so you can use busybox (ie so its in your PATH) run this.
Step 8) mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
Step 9) /data/local/busybox cp /data/local/busybox /system/bin
Step 10) mount -o ro,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
Step 11) sync
Step 12) reboot

Motorola Droid :: Rooting And Installing BusyBox With Mac?
Mar 26, 2010I've been reading some info about rooting a droid here and at rootyourdroid.info, probably going to buy one this afternoon since the incredible isn't out yet. Rooting seems to be pretty universal between PC/Mac, but when it gets to the USB debugging/Busybox install it appears a PC is required. Anyone know if this can be done from a Mac or a Linux box? I don't currently have a Windows computer anywhere in the house, and don't really want to use my work laptop for this if I don't have to.

Jun 9, 2014I've rooted my Sprint Galaxy S5 and it made the phone work slow. The buttons took a good 3-4 seconds before responding, and sometimes would not respond at all. "HealthService" would always crash, and other slowdowns like when I drag down the notification bar. I installed Xposed and BusyBox. However, the phone was working slow before those were installed. So I unrooted it and flashed the stock ROM, and everything worked fine. Time passed by... I decided to root it again. So I did, same method, same files, and it was working normal. No slowdowns, buttons worked perfectly and were responsive. "HealthService" still force stops but I presume that is an easy fix. Then I installed BusyBox and Xposed again. Once both were installed and after 5-7 minutes, the phone started to work slow as before.

Motorola Droid :: Put Busybox - Making Directory On Phone
Feb 12, 2010I just got my droid last week and decided to root it and try to get a little crazy with it. However I'm very new, obviously, to the droid and to linux. I just got ubuntu for my computer yesterday and already have it on there and have been working with it a little trying to get things settled. So far I'm very happy with both, but I'm also having some trouble, hence the following...
Well I'm trying to put busybox on my droid. I've got it on there but I'm having problems with making a directory on my phone, which I need to do to continue.
Anyway, what's happening is, ill put in mkdir /system/xbin and it returns "mkdir failed. Read only filesystem." This is after Ive already launched busybox. I don't understand what I'm doing wrong.

General :: How To Gain Root Access If Busybox And System App Is Already Installed
Oct 11, 2013I have a Rockchip RK3188 Tablet with Android 4.2.2, which I need to root ON DEVICE. Actually, the device was already rooted (using a Laptop via the adb bridge), so I already have busybox installed and I have one of my own apps in /system/app. However I managed to delete the su program (yeah great!) and therefore don't have root access any more. I know I can easily root the device again if I connect it to my laptop again, but that is not possible, because the device is at my parent's place and I can't go over there any time soon.
Therefore I want to root the device just with an app. Actually I would only need to copy su to /system/xbin. These are the things I already tried (without success):Framaroot (doesn't work, because framaroot does not support Rockchip tablets)
Writing my own app, which contains su in the assets and using this su for temporary root
Using adb (on the device) for a local connection (adb connect localhost), because if I connect from my PC I automatically have root (doesn't work because Android 4.2.2 has increased security on adb)
Start telnetd via busybox and then execute my commands via nc (doesn't work, because I can't start telnetd in a way that it ends up with a root shell)
My last idea is, that I could maybe gain temporary root access with the app I already have in /system/app. Basically this would be similar to the Master Key Exploit, except that I do not have to fiddle around with the apk and instead install it normally. However I don't know how to continue from that point. I know, I have special permissions if I have an app in /system/app, but which permissions are that? And how can I use those permissions to make /system writeable (and copy my su file there)?
Android :: Need To Sync Business Functions
Oct 7, 2010New to android..been using WM 6.1 sync with outlook obviously seemless. Need the same type of functionality but it doesn't have to be with outlook. Looking for options to use for business. Being a small company I can go anyway I want, don't have any restrictions other than need to sync all with phone, laptop and desktop. Beginning to travel more so contact, calendar and task must sync (notes and a Today front end would be nice). I have tried Dejaoffice but I end up with 2 sets of contacts and calendars (Samsung and Dejaoffice) not to mention that the UI is lame (had just as good 15 years ago with Instant Recall). Don't mind rooting the phone if needed. So what options exist in the open source world? Love my captivate phone but need to be able to do business to keep it. Anxious to hear how the rest of the Android world does it.
