when installing Busybox with Stericsson Installer it allow to choose between system/bin or system/xbin to install it, which one to choose and why ? What's the difference ?
SuperSU has an option "Survival Mode" that says that we must disable it before Nandroid Backup, what happends if I forgot to disable it ?

Should 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.
I'm using Android x86 4.0.4 in my netbook with the /system mounted as rw. I had lost my busybox installation.

I am trying to implement a RESTful API in which I have to upload files that are relatively large for a mobile platform. The upload could take anywhere from 30 seconds to 5 minutes.I would like my application to be completely usable while the upload takes place. I've been doing some research and I've come across a few methods from which I can't decide which is the correct solution to my problem.Using an IntentService -- handles the worker thread so I don't have to. Using my own type of Service-- still need to implement an AsyncTask to handle the large process. Implement an AsyncTask in a singleton file that would allow me to do all the work there but without using the service class. My question is which method is the best -- if one isn't listed but is a more apt solution to my problem then I would appreciate suggestions.After researching all these methods I am still also confused on one thing. Lets say I upload a 2MB files, but I want to know when it is done. For example, lets say I have a service that uploads an image and returns and imageID -- I need to be able to know when that service returns an imageID -- process that and then move on to the next upload until the rest are finished.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI'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.

I'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.

I'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.

Any way by which I can make my internet working after installing BusyBox. Let me explain what I did.
1. I put the BusyBox PRO apk in /system/app and restarted my Phone and after restarting I opened the BusyBox and install all the binaries and after that all commands started working fine in terminal emulator only thing that didn't worked my internet.
Flashed my phone using stock rom
2. After installing fresh ROM this time I installed BusyBox normally and after installation I updated all the binaries again and everything started working well but yet again my internet stopped working.
What should I do to make my internet connection work after installing BusyBox.
How do I get SuperUser and Busybox on my hard rooted phone(i.e. Root access from ADB and Android Commander) ? I need to install quite some apps that need internal root access from SuperUser, How do I do It?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI 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)?
i recently bought a cheap irulu tablet off ebay. it's running 4.2.2, and i'm not quite sure if it's rooted or not. i've read that most of their tablets are rooted right out of the box, so i downloaded 4 or 5 root checkers from the marketplace and some said it was rooted and some said it was not. i know that it does have su and busybox installed, but i don't have one of those superuser apps that request permission or anything. i can browse my full phone with any file explorer. i installed titanium backup, and it says on the main screen that root access is ok, but then it will pop up an error message that says:
BusyBox works but the "su" command does not elevate to root. There's something wrong with your "su" binary and/or "Superuser" app.
I have a few apps on my phone that allow me to choose a photo and then do something with it, e.g. editing. When I try to choose a photo, I used to get two options: 1) choose from Dropbox and 2) choose from Gallery. But at one point, I chose a photo from the Gallery and also checked the "default" checkbox. Since then, whenever I try to choose a photo, I don't see the two options anymore, it always takes me directly to the Gallery.
When I checked the "default" checkbox, I had assumed that there must have been a setting somewhere that would allow me to undo what I've done so that the Gallery would no longer be the default option and when choosing a photo, I would still get to see two options: Dropbox and Gallery. But I searched all the places I could think of and still couldn't find such setting. Where such setting is?
The phone I use is Samsung Galaxy S4 and the OS version is Android 4.2.2.

Background: I am writing some scripts that are used to bypass root detection for an application and I need these scripts to be compatible across devices/ROMs. I am looking to push log files from the scripts automatically incase they need to be reviewed later and am looking for a consistent place to push them to that does not require root to read or write.
Question: I have owned more than a few android devices and all the devices that I have owned have a path of /sdcard to the primary sdcard in the system. MY question is simple, is this a standard location for all android ROMs? or is it only consistent with a % of the android ROMs out there?
I needed a tun.ko module for my kernel, so I tried compiling my own kernel.
The kernel did build OK, and also boots OK, the only problem is that I cannot load any modules.
It seemes, that the module tools (insmod, modprobe etc) looks for the modules in /lib/modules, and I have them in /system/lib/modules, so my wifi does not work, as I cannot load the module.
Where I can specify the kernel module load path in the .config file?
Example:
# cd /system/lib/modules
# ls -l
-rw-r--r-- root root 315403 2008-08-01 14:00 bcm4329.ko
-rw-r--r-- root root 211573 2008-08-01 14:00 tun.ko
# modprobe bcm4329.ko

I'm trying to backup Angry Birds settings and hi-scores using Android Debugging Bridge. The command:
Code:
adb pull /data/data/com.rovio.angrybirds/files/highscores.lua C:ab_highscores.lua
works perfectly for Angry Birds original. It is also pretty obvious how to get savegames from Rio and Seasons. Now, what is the path for Space? The most obvious one, "angrybirdsspace" is giving me error "Remote object not found". Alternatively, how can I list content of /data/data folder? I think it's not possible with ADB.
Can someone tell me what busybox actually does and why it's required or necessary? I'm using a rooted captivate if it matters.
