Default [PATCH] Install Superuser, Busybox and Rooted Kernel (For Use After Obtaining S-OFF)

The first thing anyone is going to want to do once AlphaRev's S-OFF process is complete will be to get your device properly rooted within Android. I have created a simple update zip which will take care of the following for you:
  • Re-install the stock kernel, using a rooted ramdisk (credit jcase).
  • Install the Superuser app and su binary in /system/xbin.
  • Install and setup Busybox in /system/xbin.

Simply install this patch via CWM and reboot. From there you can proceed to run any root apps you need (such as Titanium).

This the same file on Rootwiki? Or is it the same minus the kernel?

I think so. I was told not to install this patch after cm7.

Try going into the application menu and clear the data for superuser. Fixed my fc problems on my phone.
