Busybox

[fjfalcon]

Have anyone tryed to update busybox to 1.18?
I founded it with such paths: /system/busybox /system/xbin/busybox.

But when i updated that files with 1.18 i get motologo loop.

Restored succefuly with OR.
Maybe someone knew why that happened?

I have expirianced this problem for some days, but I toth it's me doing something wrong or Khal ROM doesn't supports it. And I'm pretty sure it's form Busybox indeed.

So.... anybody tryed older Busybox version? Problem still appear? I just optimized my ROM and I don't wanna go true all "tweaking" again.
Here is a link for 3.4.1 (1.18.4 I think) for anyone who is brave enogh http://www.mobileboxs.info/android-apps/busybox-v3-4-1/
And here is even older 1.17.1 http://www.speedyshare.com/files/23737359/Busybox_1.17.1.apk

Suffering succotash. Then it's most likely from Khal's ROM.

I know it's of little help, but I just downloaded and used the latest version of that app to update /system/xbin/busybox on an unreleased ROM based on Dexter's 1.3 and I had no trouble.

I do know it is extremely important for the boot scripts we've been using on XT720 to have /system/xbin/busybox. If you move busybox to /system/bin/busybox you will bootloop. You should be able to get into openrecovery (volume up while powering on) and use adb or apply the update here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11695842&postcount=1314 to recover. Possibly you'll still have to go fix the symbolic links using adb. I think it's pretty stupid that the app deletes the other ones without replacing them with symbolic links. That app also didn't update all busybox applet symbolic links, either. Frankly, I'm not too impressed by that app.

I did installed it in xbin, but still bootlooping. I'm not sure what the whole point of this app is, beside it allows CacheMate to do it's job. If anyone can explain?

Most (if not all) custom ROMs have busybox already. The app is probably quite helpful on rooted, stock ROMs that wouldn't have busybox otherwise. If you're on a custom ROM all it does is update the existing busybox. When cachemate says it requires busybox, it's refering to the executable, not the updater app from the market.

So you mean I have Busybox on my Khal's ROM and I don't need to update it. Thanks alot.
