How Can I update Busybox via update.zip? - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Can someone tell me how I can update Busybox via Update.zip?
I make a new update.zip with the new Superuser and would like to add the new Busybox 1.18.
After some trys I give up. All seems ok but the needed files for the Speedfix are not there.
I mean mkfs.ext2.
Any ideas?

I think i have .apk then you just install it with/from the file manager, if you need?

Installing APK's From other firmwares

Hi,
Have a newbie question for you all..
Is there any reason why i couldnt take apks from one firmware and apply it to another.
For example superuser.apk from one hero and add it to another hero firmware which hasnt got it...i would be using Linda File Manager
I did this with the biz card scanner from a hero rom and put it in CM4.0.4
Download the rom that has the apk file.
Open the rom as a zip file.
Find the apk file and copy it to your sdcard.
Download Appsinstaller from the market and use it to install the apk on your sdcard.
This will NOT work with all apk files and make sure you have a backup before you try it.

"SuperUser whitelist" is available on the market for free, so you might as well get it from there.
If it wasn't on the market you could use Fingerlickin's method. Some apk's need to be pushed using the terminal and many apks on Hero are directly tied in to the HTC Framework so can't just be pushed to cupcake builds.

there isnt an apk for CWR....all rom manager does is put this update.zip on your /sdcard
put this on your sdcard, reboot to recovery and click on reinstall packages. it will reboot, then select reinstall packages again. you will then get kicked over to the GREEN font clockworkrecovery

Help unrooting

Need to load an app on my phone that can detect the presence of superuser.apk and su, so I'm trying to delete those items. I installed them by flashing a zip in recovery. However, due to the kernel level r/w protection on /system, I can't delete superuser or su by normal means (i.e., a root file explorer).
Anybody know how I can get rid of them? I assume I need some sort of a flashable zip, but haven't found one. Thanks.
Edit: Never mind. Figured out that if I just delete the /system folder from the SuperSU zip, the updater script automatically deletes all old superuser files, and then has no source for the new files. So basically it just removes SuperSU and su. I think that got the job done.

SuperSu binary manual update?

Does anyone know what files to replace/permissions to set in the system image when updating SuperSU and busybox, and where to get these files?
Yes.

root:root
You extract them out of the SuperSU package.
Have a look at my attachment, this unzip to /system/xbin/

Thank you! I had to place the busybox file into both bin and xbin in order for busybox installer to recognize the updated version, but other than that, I followed your instructions exactly. So now my question is if I just updated the supersu binary to the latest version, why is supersu still telling me that I need to update the binary? Did you extract these from 2.46?
Two more questions: how did you extract them, and where did you get the version of busybox that you included in your previous post?
busybox is just in priv-app not in app - it works.
I don't know, why that update message comes up. It's the latests SU
You can open apk's like ZIP to extract. But you can find Update-ZIP to flash with recovery, to extract
That's the latest busybox I installed on an other android. Just moved to the System-Images.

Create a CyanDelta dummy zip, to install Magisk

Hi guys, I have a quick question.
I want the newest Magisk version, to install every time I update my system, using CyanDelta. This however, requires that I manually move each update to the CyanDelta folder and edit the app setting to install the newest version with each update.
I would like to have a dummy zip, with an installer-script, that will use wild cards, to flash the newest magisk-**.zip
Something like
install("/sdcard/MagiskManager/Magisk-v****.zip")
Essentially, CyanDelta will "flash" this dummy zip. This dummy zip will then call the newest Magisk zip, to install.
Is this possible? Has anyone already done this? If so, mind linking me to the zip file already made (or the code already typed out)?
Alternatively, any tasker task to easily rename and move the latest update, automatically, once the new update is downloaded?

I dunno if a zip can call another zip...
However with Tasker... You can use RUN SHELL with a 'su -c' in front of the command to rename and move your magisk zip to your flashaftetupdate directory...
Then just call on it with your recovery
