Hi, I just installed NottachTrix on my Atrix.

Now all I need to know is which installation option of V6 Supercharger script is best for this device. Ideally, a small explanation with each option to help me learn.

Thanks.

Busybox/Supercharger V6 Advice for Nottachtrix v.1.3.1

I would like to try the V6 Supercharger script. I'm running Nottachtrix v1.3.1. Having read through the main Supercharger thread, it appears Nottachtrix contains a version of busybox that is known to cause problems, 1.18.4. It seems prudent to update busybox before attempting to run the script. But I need to know which busybox to install and how to do that.

I have downloaded the CWM-flashable version recommended in the Supercharger thread, which is by wraithdu and installs version 1.19.4. Having looked inside the zip it appears it only install to system/xbin and exploring Nottachtrix file tree shows busybox is in both system/xbin and system/bin.

Does anyone know the best way to "properly" (i.e. both locations) update busybox in Nottachtrix? And which version I should install for full busybox implementation and trouble-free Supercharger scripting?

Also, is there a particular version of the script I should be using for my Atrix?

The BusyBox installer available on the V6 Supercharger thread is the one you want to use.

Do you mean the installer script? Will it update both locations in Nottachtrix? Because it appears to be the same as the CWM-flashable one just with a script to install it?

At the bottom of the post there is a CWM flashable busybox installer zip. It will install a fully compatible version of busybox in the place it needs to be.

Stop fretting over install locations and just do it. :)

It is amazing how a small piece of "advice" can cause a crisis. Thanks for the response. The CWM version will not install, CWM aborts install and says zip file is corrupt (downloaded multiple times). Tried script install and it installed to system/bin and not system/xbin and now I have lost root!!!

Tried the 2 "big name" busybox installers and neither will install any version of busybox because I no longer have root.

This is exactly why I asked for advice.

Edit: Restored from nandroid backup (many times!) and tried 4 different version of busybox installed to both locations via JRummy and Stericson busybox installers, none will install on Nottachtrix with or without root. WTF?
