Busy box issue? - Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ok so I have Titanium backup (Free) and I installed busybox through the busybox downloader on redemption ROM and everytime I use it I get FC which I am assuming is due to busybox but I could be wrong.... Any suggestions or how to replace busybox?

Try hitting Problems in Titanium Backup and downloading Busybox from there.

[Q] Downgrade busybox from 1.18.4?

How do you downgrade your busybox? I tried using the app called busybox installer and its not working. I install the version I want and then it gives me tow options for install location:
system/xbin/
or
system/bin/
does it matter where you install it? Once I install the version I want it says to reboot and when I do in titanium backup still says I am using version 1.18.4...Help please!!!
I am doing this so that I can use the V6 supercharger script.
EDIT: The first couple of times I tried it didnt change, now it just brings me to my splash screen and sits there.
Sorry to bump this but I need help!
I know there are a couple different busybox installer apps on the Market, I have used THIS one in the past
My busybox is located in system/xbin

Need Help - Problem with SU and other issues with my Desire

Hi everyone,
I have some problems with my Desire and need your help, which is highly appreciated
I rooted my Desire (PVT4) a while ago and flashed AmonRa Recovery 2.0.1 in order to install CustomRoms. I used DeFrost 6.1 for quite some time before i flashed GingerVillain 2.7 and recognized the following issues:
If i open ConnectBot or TerminalEmulator, i always get "not found" or "permission denied". I.e. i wanted to ship the Dalvik Cache to my SD when i had GingerVillain installed and tried to get some more internal space. So I entered "su" in ConnectBot but it said "su not found". If i enter cat/proc/mtd to determine if it is S-off or on (i don't remember if i changed it) i get the same result..."not found"...
I have root access and i can flash ROM's etc. but i can't use any terminal commands... Furthermore, the Superuser-App told me that there is an update available but i can't install it. I can't flash the zip in the recovery ("Can't open su-2-3-1-bin-signed.zip") . So i tried updating using the app itself but now it says: Su binary voutdated...
Something's wrong in here...What can I do to fix this?
Current Settings:
Android 2.3.3
LeeDroid GB 3.0.8.2 (With HTC Sense, App2SD+ working fine)
Baseband: 32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27
Kernel: 2.6.35.10-g308ba26
Superuser: 2.3.6.3
Not every Rom is loaded with commands for Terminal emulator...
Regarding Superuser, there is application in android market called "superuser update fixer"..download and install it...update issue will be solved...
You should install busybox.
Swyped from Oxygen with Transparent XDA App
First of all thx for your replies

I had this problem since i switched to GingerVillain ROM and also now on LeeDroid GB. It should definitely work with GV, not sure bout LeeDroid though.
I installed SU Update Fixer, it says that there is no problem. I tried forcing a fix but the app is shut down... Superuser details: v2.3.6.3, Su binary v.2.3.1-ef

If i open Titanium Backup, it says busybox and root access ok. Busybox 1.18.4
Any other suggestions on how to fix this?
Sometimes the superuser app/process just shuts down, too. After reboot it works again...something's just not totally right i guess.
I switched to Leedroid and the problem basically disappeared... Strange though

Busybox Error after Updating via Odin

I was running stock rom, rooted with bloat removed. I flashed the update through Odin, flashed CWM, and reinstalled Superuser through CWM, and when I went to update the binary in Superuser, I noticed that it said that Busybox was not found. So I installed Busybox Installer and tried to run, but got an error saying that there are problems with some core utilities necessary to load Busybox.
I then reflashed the update, CWM and Superuser, hoping that would fix the problem, but it hasn't.
My question is if there is anyway to load Busybox internally through CWM? Even if it is an older version of Busybox, once the core utilities are there, I can always update through the Busybox Installer.
Worst case scenario, I just back up through Titanium, flash back to complete stock, update, and then load CWM...but I always hate starting from the beginning if I don't have to.
The only apps I use that require root are SetCPU, and Titanium Backup. Would I even notice anything without Busybox working? I know Titanium used to be able to update Busybox right through the app, but then they updated and don't anymore...but I'm not sure if Titanium still requires Busybox to properly work.
I posted screen shots of the error messages I see in both Busybox Installer and when updating the binaries through Superuser. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Nevermind, I fixed it. For some reason, the Busybox app from Stephen (Stericson) was the one that kept giving me the error. So I downloaded the Busybox Installer app from JRummy16, and it worked flawlessly the first time. I went back in to Superuser to see if it recognizes it, and it does. So all seems to be good.
Moderator, please feel free to delete the thread. Thanks!
You solved my problem thanks man!!

[Q] Busy Box Question

I am trying to update BusyBox on my Epic 4G Touch. I am currently running the Stock FF18, AGAT's 4.3 Kernal, and Kobridge's FF18 TW 3.5 Tweaks.
I downloaded BusyBox Pro and when run, tells me that BusyBox v1.20.0-cm7 is installed.
I'm wanting to update to BusyBox 1.20.2.
Once the program finishes scanning the file system I choose to install BusyBox and am given a choice to "Smart Install" or "Normal Install". It does not matter which method I use, the end result is that my installation is successful. It then tells me that the version BusyBox installed is BusyBox v1.20.2-Stericson.
The problem is when I reboot the phone I lose the installation and am back to BusyBox v1.20.0-cm7.
Does anyone have any information as to why this is or what I am doing wrong? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

BusyBox restore?

Hi all, I just rooted my phone, first timer, finally.
Anyways, I unlocked, rooted and flashed the latest AOKP kitkat nightly (07/31) using Wugs NRT.
After I rooted NRT automatically installed busybox. When I flashed the new ROM busybox wasn't reinstalled. I used titanium backup so I have the previous version, but I am wondering if there is any reason I need to restore it? If so, should I restore from titanium backup or should I just install a fresh version?
Also, any suggestions for kernels that are good on battery life would be appreciated. I am currently running the kernel that came with the AOKP build, but would love to improve battery life if possible.
Thanks much!
Any info would be appreciated
Some parts might be required by the ROM you're using. Apart from that it has a whole bunch of useful commands. Feel free to do a fresh installation from teh play store.

If everything's working, leave the busybox installation alone. In my experience it's best to take a "ain't broke, don't fix it" approach with busybox. It sounds like you have the busybox from the rom installation. It's important at this time you keep that in your /system/xbin dir. The reason is that the latest busybox that's been coming with roms is selinux enabled, and on the contrary most 3rd party busyboxes are not selinux enabled.
Kernels I personally rely on for solid day-to-day use are Dirty V and Fancy. I definitely recommend trying one or both of them. They're awesome and have great devs.

Sorry, my first post was unclear. Busybox was installed by the Nexus Root Toolkit (aka Wug's NRT) when I rooted. I was still on stock ROM then. When I flashed the new ROM (AOKP kitkat) busybox was not reinstalled. So as it stands now, I'm running the AOKP kitkat ROM without busybox installed. I was essentially wondering if I should install busybox even though the ROM I'm running apparently doesn't need it, my performance is good and system is stable since I flashed the ROM.
Thanks for the replies and the kernel suggestions, I will check them out.

Ok, I understand now, sorry about the confusion on my side. So you don't have /system/xbin/busybox? Wow I was unaware busybox was still so secondary. I would download a busybox installer (I recommend stericson) since some apps like Trickster require it. If you do any terminal work, you'll want to use it.
