Find a busybox binary and copy it to /system/bin.

You can download a copy here. http://bit.ly/9otbTJ

Use "adb push" to push the file to the phone. A tutorial on using ADB can be found on this same forum.

I'm taking a guess here.. but couldn't you installed Titanium Backup from the market, then click "Problems?" and let it install Busybox for you? I'm not 100% sure that would work but I know I have Busybox on my phone because Titanium put it there. :shrug:

Rules to live by:
1. Don't refer to a ROM as "buttery smooth".
2. Wiping once is fine (applies to phone only!).
3. There's no reason to tell us every phone you've had.
4. Stop asking if MIUI will have 4G (wimax).
5. Read, search, read more. This is the path to learning.



Dropbox is awesome on Android!

Titanium worked for me...at least to actually use Titanium which needs busybox to run so I assume it worked.

This is what I did. It wasn't installed by default, but Titanium Backup installed the latest version for me.

Titanium Backup installs a private copy of busy box in /data. Metamorph is looking for it in the standard path.
