Motorola Droid X :: How To Check / Make Sure BusyBox Installed?
Oct 23, 2010
I have another thread on the troubleshooting sub-section SetCpu suddenly stop working with 2.2 OTA Root device (setcpu isn't working and I think it might be busybox), and I have a question about BusyBox. I have used the Busybox app on the market it detects the root but doesn't find any Busybox. I have the file Busybox on my sd card which I did not put there. How can I check and make sure BusyBox is installed where it is suppose to be?

I am trying to get busybox installed. It says I must have Nand installed and RW enabled. What does this mean?

I 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)?

im trying to edit txt within busybox vi, but i need help with saving/exit. im running it out of the terminal emulator, and have ctrl set up as <vol. up>, so i believe i need to do <vol up><sym><1> to enter command mode, but i cant seem to get typical vi commands to work (zz) for write/exit. ok if i get past that then i have mounted system as rw, but within the vi it says [read only]. will this be an issue?

If 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

I'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.

I 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.

I am calling my application from clicking on button in web-page. I made that activity as BROWSABLE. It is working fine when I open that web-page in android emulator and click on button; i.e. it is opening the application. Now, I want to whether that activity is present or not in my emulator i.e. it is installed or not, by clicking on button... How can I check that?

I'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?

I got a notification today about the Froyo update being available (yay!) but was in the middle of something so hit cancel, thinking I could get it later. But I can't work out how to!
It did say that the phone would check again at the next scheduled time so I can download it then if need be - but does anyone know how to make the phone check before then?

I thank HTC for trying to take Blackberry's notification LED and implementing on our Desire
However, I have yet to find it useful because the LED light (other than battery indication) stops functioning after few minutes for missed calls, text msgs
I was hoping once they update it to 2.2, they would fix this problem.
Is there ANY way to make the LED lights stay on until I check it?
Also, are there any apps that can change the color of the LED light?

I have a DX running the 2.2 OTA. I rooted my phone but did nothing else (no deodex, no custom anything.) I did rename some of the default apps to disable them but backed up before. Now, here is my question. I want to check for updates (I know where are none, but I keep hoping there will be to fix all the little bugs Froyo seems to have) and I get a "Check for update was not available at this time." I get this EVERY TIME.
Could this be a problem from rooting? Is anyone else having this issue? And yes, I did disable the wifi only updating in settings, so it isn't that.

on my old phone (palm treo 755) i had a checkbook app that i used daily. i have tried several finance apps on the market, but none seem to do what i want. i have tried the following:
checkbook genius
easymoney
checkbook
dgmoney
with the old program i could create budgets, set up future payments/deposits, show & hide transactions from the transaction list (ie hide cleared items) and display acct balance on a specific day the apps i've tried so far do make decent checkbook registers, but i miss the flexibility of my old app. anyone know of or have experience with another app that could do all this? i have no problem paying for an app that does all this.

I just upgraded from the Droid to the Droid X and am now having a problem. The email I receive through gmail works fine with emails arriving automatically and the notification settings working. The problem is with the regular email program that comes with the phone and my Yahoo account. Even though I believe I have it set up to automatically check email and to receive notification when it arrives, I only get new email when I manually open the app.

So I added a "corp" email to my X. However, when i compose a new message, or reply to one, in the TO: field, there is a "+" icon, click it and it will bring up names. NOW - If you SEARCH for someone, say Mike. when it finds them all, there are no check boxes. you can only select the contact. When you Do, it drops you back to the new message, but the contact is NOT in the To: field. Its just blank. If i Scroll to Mike, and select him, I get a set of 2 emails for him, which check boxes. I select the one i want and press done. Now i get dropped back to the email, and Mike is in the to: field. WHAT am I doing wrong, that I cant Search for someone and add him to the to: field. Long press just brings up delete. Is this why BB still wins corp email?

I am concerned my phone isnt going fully to sleep. My battery seems to drop about 20% in about 4 hours of just sitting there not doing anything. It also takes a long time before the phone idle shows up on my battery use screen. Is there anyway to check awake vs asleep times like you can on the evo?

On my Blackberry Storm if I press and hold the "menu" button it will display all running apps, I can then see whats running in the backgroung and close it. Is there a way on my Droid X to see everything running in the back ground ? On my Blackberry Storm to close an app I press the menu button, a window opens up and I can press an actual "close" icon. How do I completely close an app on my Droid X?

I rooted and installed kaosfroyo and now cannot make or receive calls because my mic is not working. Call can be made but the person on the other end does not hear me.
A few other things are that my wifi and verizon data are not working. When I plug the usb I can't mount the SD card.
On the lock screen it says Sprint in the upper right.

I went into the notification bar to see I had two updates for apps that I have. However only a second or two after the notification window was up it suddenly disappeared and kicked me back to my home screen. When I returned to the notification window the app update notifications were no longer there. Is there a way that I can make my Droid go check for updates again?
