    Installing busybox

    When I posted the alternate rooting process I underestimated the importance busybox might have in further modding and how it makes lots of stuff so much easier. Since I have only myself to blame for that, the least I can do is telling you how to install it.
    In this post I assume you have rooted using either method.

    First, get busybox here: busybox.zip
    It's the same file that is in the original rooting method, so you can get the file there, too.

    Push the file to your sd card:
    Code:
    adb push /home/amin/Desktop/busybox /sdcard/busybox
    Then open an adb shell and type "su" to get root access. Notice that once you run su you may need to hit allow on your phone screen for the superuser.apk request.
    Once you get to the root shell (with the # prompt), copy and paste these commands, one line at a time:

    Code:
    mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock1 /system
    cat /sdcard/busybox > /system/bin/busybox     
    chown root.root /system/bin/busybox     
    chmod 755 /system/bin/busybox     
    mount -o ro,remount /dev/block/mtdblock1 /system
    Busybox is now installed. You can close the terminal.

    Again, sorry for skipping this. I'm still learning, too.
    I know the way you go 'cause I've been the same for too long, like I'm fearful that my choices are all wrong.
    I know the way you go 'cause I've lived your life of make-believe, dying to live...

    I might be wrong but if your download Titanium Backup it will install the BusyBox for you. Might be a easier option.

    There's a BusyBox Installer in the Market. Free. Works Perfectly.
