hey guys since "one-click" rooting is now available i though i might post a few instructions on how to install busybox on the ARC/Play/Neo devices...
DO NOT RUN THIS IF U ALREADY HAVE BUSYBOX INSTALLED
download the attached file... it contains busybox v1.17.2 & adb files & will install busybox to /system/xbin/
extract the package in some temporary folder
[ Step 0 ] Root ur device
Root ur device using GingerBreak app
[ Step 1 ] Verify that ur device is rooted
browse to the "files" folder where u extracted package and launch the command prompt in the folder (holding down SHIFT key on keyboard right click and select "Open command window here")
keep the device screen unlocked (also might help to keep screen timeout to >5 mins so that u dont miss the superuser prompts)
now execute the following command in the command prompt
Code:
adb shell "su"
a popup/prompt will come on ur device asking for Superuser permissions... click allow...
if u get permissions denied that means either u did not allow Superuser prompt OR the device was not rooted
[ Step 2 ] Install busybox
{A}
in the same command window (from Step 1) execute the following:
Code:
runme.bat
popup/prompt will come multiple times on ur device asking for Superuser permissions... click allow...
if u get any error or "permission denied" in any of the steps check part {B}
{B} (only if the Step 2 A fails)
<if any popup/prompt comes on ur device asking for Superuser permissions... click allow...>
in the same command window (from Step 1) execute the following:
(this will copy busybox to /data/local/tmp/)
Code:
adb push busybox /data/local/tmp/.
(launch adb shell)
Code:
adb shell
(the following commands are to be input in the adb shell itself)
Code:
su
(remounting system as rw)
Code:
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 `mount | /data/local/tmp/busybox grep /system | /data/local/tmp/busybox awk '{print $1}'` /system
(copying busybox to /system/xbin/)
Code:
dd if=/data/local/tmp/busybox of=/system/xbin/busybox
(verifying ownership)
Code:
chown root.root /system/xbin/busybox
(verifying permissions)
Code:
chmod 04755 /system/xbin/busybox
(installing busybox in /system/xbin/)
Code:
/system/xbin/busybox --install -s /system/xbin
(removing temporary files)
Code:
rm -r /data/local/tmp/busybox
[ Step 3 ] Verify busybox installation
in the same command window (from Step 1) execute the following:
Code:
which busybox
this should return
PHP:
/system/xbin/busybox
and
Code:
ls -l /system/xbin/
this should return a LOT of files lists (which are basically symlinks to /system/xbin/busybox)
if u see only one file (dexdump) then installation was not successful
Search for "Busybox Installer" in the market, I think it's as simple as that
Here's the link https://market.android.com/details?id=com.jrummy.busybox.installer

Busybox Installer sometimes installs in /system/bin and messes up toolbox symlinks... also its option to install in /system/xbin doesnt always work...
it works for my ARC, without busybox, Titium backup not working, after install busybox from market, it T backup works.

did u try the manual way i posted in 1st post of this thread?
cause i tested this yesterday night on my Arc and TB, Root Explorer, SetCPU, ScreenShot, AbsoluteSystem, all work with the manual way i posted here in OP (1st post of this thread)...
It is much simpler to use the busybox installer, it works and takes much less time
All I did is root my phone installed titanium and installed busybox through titanium and everything works perfect for me no problems watsoever

i would agree with installing from the market its much more easier and hasssle free! i could not gain acesss to titanium backup, but after i installed bb from market, everything works fine

I just downloaded titanium back up, clicked on Problems? Which then installed busybox

Awesome guide.
Instead of ADB, you can do it all in terminal emulator.
Regarding market installers, they usually work fine.
But some people experience bugs with them or have limited version's to choose from.
So this is a sure fire way to get what you want installed without hassles.
mount not prmited
it say mount not permitted on my sony xperia t3 please help me. been looking for years to install busybox on my phone.
Hi folks,
here's an easy-to-install busybox for your Galaxy Tab 2. NOW with Cyanogen Mod support.
ChangeLog:
BusyBox 1.21.0-git Nano1 (2012-07-28): initial release
BusyBox 1.21.0-git Nano2 (2012-07-29): applied various patches:
BUGFIX: flush all open files after listing them (ls)
BUGFIX: when setting hostname from file p**** whole name
COMPAT: ps now accepts (= ignores) all options a POSIX ps should
allow passing -mthumb to make
ash applet now exports HOME
silently ignore processes from inittab with terminal names without matching device file
default behaviour of 'showkey' applet changed from displaying interpreted keycode to decimals
do not show a message when testing an uninitialized variable
changed some terms in top applet output (rss vs. vsz)
BusyBox 1.21.0-git Nano3 (2012-08-05): major fix
NEW: rfkill applet¹
several minor modifications to applet
BUGFIX fixed a bug in busyinstall that left system without 'sh' upon uninstall²
provide busybox-patches to the world
BusyBox 1.21.0-git Nano4 (2012-08-15): minor fix / cm 10 edition
updated to latest git (some bugfixes)
BUGFIX: reading profile now works
BUGFIX: adjusted shell paths
BUGFIX: history now works
BUGFIX: no longer replace reboot on stock rom³
NEW: Cyanogen Mod edition (tested on cm10)
¹ Either redo 'busyinstall install', or do 'ln -sf /system/bin/busybox /system/bin/rfkill'
² You can find the original sh in you CWM backup, or here: http://www.nanolx.org/downloads/P3110/original-sh
If you didn't get /system/bin/sh.orig after 'busyinstall install', use this file as /system/bin/sh.orig
³ push new busyinstall into tablet to ensure future install/uninstall is fine. then do 'mv /system/bin/reboot.orig /system/bin/reboot'
from within 'adb shell' as root to get original reboot back.
Prerequisites:
* root access on your Tablet
Download:
busybox (normal): http://www.nanolx.org/downloads/P3110/busybox-nano4
busybox (debug): http://www.nanolx.org/downloads/P3110/busybox_unstripped-nano4
busyinstall (installer/stock): http://www.nanolx.org/downloads/P3110/busyinstall
busyinstall (installer/cm10): http://www.nanolx.org/downloads/P3110/busyinstall-cm
profile (optional): http://www.nanolx.org/downloads/P3110/profile¹
busybox (patches): http://www.nanolx.org/downloads/index.php?dir=P3110/busybox-patches/
¹ profile is a generic file, read on each startup of busybox. Mine sets HOME to /,
and puts /system/xbin/ in front of /system/bin/ in PATH. You can also adjust the
prompt (PS1) or whatever here, it's valid for all users. You could check for
'$(id -u) == 0' to adjust prompt for root, if not 0, for ordinary user.
Ordinary user should get 'busybox (normal)', rather than 'busybox (debug)'.
NEW INSTALLATION (STOCK ROM):
Putting busybox on internal sd-storage:
Code:
adb push busybox /mnt/extSdCard/
adb push busyinstall /mnt/extSdCard/
replace "extSdCard" if you saved busybox somewhere else
Code:
adb shell
su
chmod 0777 /mnt/extSdCard/busybox
chmod 0777 /mnt/extSdCard/busyinstall
/mnt/extSdCard/busybox remount -o rw,remount /system
/mnt/extSdCard/busybox mv -f /mnt/extSdCard/busybox /system/bin/
/system/bin/busybox mv -f /mnt/extSdCard/busyinstall /system/bin
busyinstall install
NEW INSTALLATION (CYANOGEN ROM):
Putting busybox on device:
in Settings > Development > set 'root access' to 'apps + adb'
Code:
adb root
adb shell
busybox mount -o rw,remount /system
exit
adb push busybox /system/xbin/busybox.nano
adb push busyinstall /system/bin/busyinstall
adb push profile /system/etc/profile # optional, if downloaded profile
adb shell
chmod 0777 /system/bin/busyinstall
busyinstall install
UPDATE:
Just download busybox, busyinstall and replace the ones in /system/bin/ - it will instantly work:
Code:
adb push busybox /system/bin/
adb push busyinstall /system/bin/
adb shell
su
toolbox chmod 0777 /system/bin/busybox # if you use windows, the executable bit might be missing in the uploaded file
chmod 0777 /system/bin/busyinstall
UNINSTALLATION:
Code:
ab shell
su
busyinstall --
That's it!
I tested everything and it does work perfect, either way a backup (CWM) is always recommened, when working around with stuff down the stack.
Suggestions welcome.
Out of curiosity, what is the difference between what this does and what BusyBox (by Stericson) from the Play Store does?

mine is a newer version
has all features of busybox (stericsons free version does not have all applets in busybox enabled, eg. 'sh' applet is missing)
installation 100% GT-P3XXX optimized
As of now, mostly personal preference I'd say.
Edit: But I'm currently applying stuff from busybox-power (maemo) which adds serveral bugfixes and stuff to busybox.
OK, improved version of busybox available in post 1 (+ changelog)
OK, thanks for letting me know!
I actually haven't done much with my Tablet lately as I've been busy with my phone as that now has CM10 too
But once I get my phone all set I'll use your BusyBox and give it a go!
Also, you said your busybox version is newer...but busybox via my phone is version 1.20.2. Just letting you know!
Thanks for this btw, I'd rather have a modified version optimized for my tablet versus a more universal version so to speak. Plus, with your updated applets! Thanks!

Oh, ... mine is 1.21.0-git - fixed the typo
First,thank you for your work,second I've a question: I've an p3100 (wifi+gsm) ,it rooted on stock 4.0.4 ,and no busybox installed.It has 16gb onboard ,and I don't have at the moment any external microsd in slot,I've ordered an 32gb,but it hasn't come yet.Can you please tell me if it's safe puting your files in /sdcad (not ExtSdCard like you wrote) and give the commands using ''sdcard'' word ?
For e.g:
db shell
su
/mnt/sdcard/busybox remount -o rw,remount /system
I need busybox to backup my /efs folder ,but I don't want to screw something,so please tell me if it is safe to use internal memory (sdcard) for busybox install?Also ,when I'll receive the microsd ,I will need to install again busybox with your original commands from this topic ?
Thanks a lot!!
Best Regards!

Of course you can. It does not matter where you put busybox. All that matters is, that you adjust the commands to your path.
In your you would push the files using ADB, like
Code:
adb push busybox /mnt/sdcard
adb push busyinstall /mnt/sdcard
also you don't need to re-do this when you got your sd-card, because during the steps you move busybox/busyinstall into /system/bin/.
Edit: updated instructions to clarify this.
Ok,thank you for your time,everything it's clear now.I'll try later,when I'm going home.
Cheers!

OK,first problem:when I try to execute the first comand,it gives me ''permission denied'',so after a little reading,because my kernel it's stock,I've installed Chainfire's ''adbd Insecure v1.0 '' http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1687590 to give me rights.After that I've no more errors,but,when I execute first command in adb,it says nothing,just hanging,and adb doesn't come back to # symbol ,and because of that I can't execute the next command.Any ideea what I'm doing wrong?Thanks!
What command failed?
Gesendet von meinem GT-P3110 mit Tapatalk 2
I don't know how to explain,it not really failed, but when I type
/mnt/sdcard/busybox remount -o rw,remount /system the adb doesn't return anything back,and doesn't come back to # symbol ,it just staying,nothing more,no response.I was waiting 2 minutes,and nothing ,doesn't return to # .I can type the next command
/mnt/sdcard/busybox mv /mnt/sdcard/busybox /mnt/sdcard/busyinstall /system/bin/
it's the same,no output,nothing.
Can you please tell me what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks again!
Now I'm stuck,even with adbd insecure activate I cannot execute commands:
C:\Documents and Settings\X\Desktop\ADB>adb shell
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *

Maybe I need first to install Stericsson's busybox from Market?At the moment,as I said before I don't have busybox installed at all,only su.
One more thing,every time when I save from your link busyinstall,no matter what browser,the file is saved as busyinstall.txt
It is normal ,or I need to rename it?
Thanks a lot!
Hmm... seems I forgot a little thing.
do this after you put busybox on tablet, before anything else:
Code:
adb shell
su
chmod 0777 /mnt/sdcard/busybox
then follow the rest of the instructions.
/goingtofixfirstpost
Same story,take a look:
[email protected]:/ # chmod 0777 /mnt/sdcard/busybox
chmod 0777 /mnt/sdcard/busybox
[email protected]:/ # chmod 0777 /mnt/sdcard/busyinstall
chmod 0777 /mnt/sdcard/busyinstall
[email protected]:/ # /mnt/sdcard/busybox remount -o rw,remount /system
/mnt/sdcard/busybox remount -o rw,remount /system
/system/bin/sh: /mnt/sdcard/busybox: cannot execute - Permission denied

Hmmm... > could you provide me the details of 'adb logcat'? Ensure to run those commands while logging.

I don't know if this is what you want,but here we go:
I'm going to check your logs soon and report back.
Meanwhile I updated to Nano3 - see first post.
I got no clue why it does not work for you, but me.
What boot image and ROM are you using? Default boot/ROM, rooted boot/ROM, cyanogen?
I only tested default ROM with my boot. Currently testing cyanogenmod 10, but except some adjustments to busyinstall it will work there, too.
Sorry for the late reply,I'm on vacation until Sunday,and my acces to internet it's very limited here.Now,regarding my problem,first when I got the tablet it was on stock 4.0.3 ,wich I rooted manually to keep the counter to 0 (for warranity) ,and after that I updated to stock 4.0.4 using Mobile Odin Pro,with Everoot option ( it's rooting the rom on the fly) .So now I'm rooted on stock 4.0.4 ,stock recovery, and no busybox installed.I fell more secure and want to install your busybox version,because it's specialy designed for tab2,and it's has features from Maemo (I'm a big fan,I owned an N800,and I've also an N900 ).Maybe,if you have the time and the skills,you can pack it on an .apk version,if it's possible,of course.I will try more Sunday,when I'll be back home.Thanks again for your patience and help.Best Regards!
It will be great if we have a kernel (even stock) with CWM and this busybox...
I am also rooted with flash counter 0 and stock recovery.

Maybe some contributor creates a flashable zip (for CWM).
So... uploaded 1.20.1-Nano4. See first post for changes.
This time an addtional install-script for cyanogen mod was added, along some fixes.
ah... and: 100th post
HI, The latest version of stock firmware for galaxy mini is MJKT3, now how do I root it?

still no good feedback, someone try it please
flash cwm with odin
boot into it
connect your mobile with pc
configure your adb connection correctly
open cmd cd to the folder where you are having adb.exe file
copy your su file in the folder where you have adb
type adb remount
adb push su /system/xbin
adb shell chmod 06755 /system/xbin/su
adb shell
if you will get # you are rooted
Can't set SetUID or SetGID bit.
adb shell chmod 06755 /system/xbin/su
"chmod: operation not permitted"
SuperOneClick doesn't work also.
/system partition is 100% full, you have to delete something to push su binary. (i deleted stock samsung apps, and wallpapers)

you were able to push su which means you have proper access
my be permission change is not needed
try type adb shell su
or use aroma file manager v1.80 and change su permission from that
Unfortunately permission change is a must. You must set setuid and setgid (06755), because upon the su binary execution it will pass the owner's (root) permissions.
Can't use aroma file manager to set permissions because /system/xbin/su owner is root and a plain user can't change permission on files that he doesn't own.
I don't know how to solve this issue.
edit:
I can mount the system partition as rfs:
mount -rw -t rfs /dev/block/stl12 /system
Then, i can set chmod 06755 su.
But after unmount or reboot, permission will be set back to 00755...

it is too much weird
can you use linux
you may be able to change the permission of the su file in Linux desktop and then can push it to system with adb
in this way permissions would remain same
Ok, it's solved!
I tried with ubuntu's adb. Unpacked the universal_gb_root_v25.zip. I mounted the system partition in adb. Then pushed all files with correct permissions to /system/xbin (the apks goes to /system/app).
First:
chown all files to root:shell
Second:
chmod 06755 /system/xbin/su
chmod 04755 /system/xbin/busybox
chmod 04755 /system/xbin/sqlite3
chmod 04755 /system/xbin/ssh
now it looks like this:
-rwsr-xr-x 1 root shell 853044 Jun 22 2011 busybox
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root shell 60264 Dec 6 10:28 dexdump
-rwsr-xr-x 1 root shell 125024 Jun 22 2011 sqlite3
-rwsr-xr-x 1 root shell 146720 Jun 22 2011 ssh
-rwsr-sr-x 1 root shell 91980 Jun 22 2011 su
It works after unmount or reboot.
Finally i have root access.

Device is pre-rooted, but only lets you do stuff via terminal. I didn't find a way to install Superuser/busybox on Mac, so I decided to make a simple guide. Took me all of 3min to complete, well since I already had the sdk and everything else installed.
You'll need this Superuser.apk, su binary and busybox.apk, dL the files from here http://d-h.st/BBk, once you have the files installed and launch Superuser it will ask you to update the binary, just click yes. Place the 3 files in your sdk/platform-tools folder.
Open Terminal cd sdk/platform-tools
On your Desktop go to Go…Go to Folder and type ~/.android, open adb_usb.ini and add 0x2836 to that file, save and close.
To verify it's listed:
./adb kill-server
echo 0x2836
./adb start-server
./adb devices
Your device should be listed here. If you want wireless adb access so you're not always hooked up to the console do the following, make sure your device is still connected via usb:
./adb tcpip 5555
unplug console
./adb connect xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (this is the ip of your console, this is listed under manage…system…console info, should be the second line)
You're set, now you can install apps wirelessly to your OUYA console. You need to make the console read/write to do this do the following
./adb shell
su
mount -o rw,remount -t ext4 /dev/block/platform/sdhci-tegra.3/by-name/APP
mount -o rw,remount -t ext4 /dev/block/platform/sdhci-tegra.3/by-name/UDA
mount -o rw,remount -t ext4 /dev/block/platform/sdhci-tegra.3/by-name/CAC
Now we will install su binary, superuser and busybox
./adb push su/system/bin/su /sdcard/su
./adb shell
su
cat /sdcard/su > /system/xbin/su
ln -s /system/xbin/su /system/bin/su
chmod 6755 /system/xbin/su
exit
exit
./adb install com.koushikdutta.superuser.apk
./adb install stericson.busybox.apk
Should be up and running, if this helped you please thank me or donate a couple bucks
You rock!
I was at this for a while before I found your post. I'm on windows, but this is the only thread I could find that had anything useful Mind if I share this around on other forums?
Just link them back, steps are almost identical for Windows. Just need to remove the ./ from the adb commands

./adb push su/system/bin/su /sdcard/su
./adb shell
su
cat /sdcard/su > /system/bin/su
cat /sdcard/su > /system/xbin/su
exit
exit
./adb install com.koushikdutta.superuser.apk
./adb install stericson.busybox.apk
Should be up and running, if this helped you please thank me or donate a couple bucks

It's pure luck that this works. There's several things wrong with it.
There's no reason to have two copies of su. There should only be one, and at most have the other be a symlink.
the su binary should be chmodded '6755'.
It works because piping the contents of a file to another file usually leaves the permissions intact. So, sort of works - it leaves a broken copy of su in /system/bin and a luckily working one in /system/xbin.
So, tl;dr, the guide should be:
Code:
./adb push su/system/bin/su /sdcard/su
./adb shell
su
cat /sdcard/su > /system/xbin/su
ln -s /system/xbin/su /system/bin/su
chmod 6755 /system/xbin/su
exit
exit
./adb install com.koushikdutta.superuser.apk

Thanks, this was my first time doing anything like this...figured I'd try to hack together something from other guides, since I didn't see very many people with the device yet. I will change it now

This is really pointless, userdata is already RW, cache should be RW, but more importantly you do nothing that would require them to be remounted
I'm not sure what I am doing wrong here. Can anyone help? All the files are there.

The command should be "adb push su /sdcard/su" (pushing su to the sdcard).
Setup wired and/or wireless ADB
(Optional) Put adb.exe in your Windows PATH variable so you can run it from anywhere
Download and unzip the SuperUser files from http://d-h.st/BBk
Open an ADB shell with elevated permissions
Code:
adb shell
su
Mount the system partition as read-write
Code:
mount -o rw,remount -t ext4 /dev/block/platform/sdhci-tegra.3/by-name/APP
Exit the ADB shell
Code:
exit
exit
or CTRL + C
Push su to the sdcard
Code:
adb push su /sdcard/su
Open an ADB shell with elevated permissions
Code:
adb shell
su
Cat su into /system/xbin
Code:
cat /sdcard/su > /system/xbin/su
Create a symbolic link to su in /system/xbin from /system/bin (safer/cleaner than just putting su directly in the bin folder)
Code:
ln -s /system/xbin/su /system/bin/su
Set the su permissions to -rwsr-sr-x
Code:
chmod 6755 /system/xbin/su
Exit the ADB shell
Code:
exit
exit
or CTRL + C
Install SuperUser
Code:
adb install com.koushikdutta.superuser.apk
Install BusyBox
Code:
adb install stericson.busybox.apk
Run SuperUser on the OUYA (Make > Software > SuperUser) and allow it to update
Thank you Elmero.
I'm so glad I gave up and went to bed last night. It could not have gone smoother. I followed the instructions for setting up wireless adb from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2272266 as well.
TIP: I wasted an hour or more trying to figure out why PC was not recognizing the OUYA at all. It was the stupid Micro usb port, compunding the fact that all the ports are to close to begin with the micro usb port is very deep. Neither of my Samsung cables worked, fortunately I have a kodak pocket video cam and the cable for that is a few mm longer and worked perfectly.
And who said Kodac isn't relevant anymore?

1) It's already rooted.
2) You can already sideload anything you want to it, same as (almost) any android device, whether it is rooted or not. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=41796467&postcount=11)

So what steps need to be repeated after the OTA?
from my limited understanding I think it should be steps 4 through 12. Or does the system partition not need to be mounted as read-write again?

Yup 4-12
Edit
If su is still on the sdcard you can skip 6-8... wont hurt if you do them though...

Might be a good idea to do them. The OTA version of such is different from the one in this guide. I had tried keeping the stock su and superuser complained

Do you still have access to the ouya store after SU installed? I heard rumors that access to the store was blocked until root access removed?

I use:
su
busybox mount -o rw,remount /system
busybox cp -r /system/app /sdcard
But the file manager is easier, Xplore by lonelycatgames (Google Play) is very good and free...
