Thanks for reading.
I'm new to all this I paid a guy to root my phone. He seems to have done it right it's sff, and I have superuser, and opengarden wifi tether. Most rooted apps require busybox, do I need it? And if so how do I get it?
Please help and thanks again!

to get busybox, use busybox installer from the android market
Thank you I didn't think it was that simple.

Do I have to open it it's not in my app drawer?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Yes. It should be in your app drawer. On your phone open the market and search for the app again. Check to see if it is installed. If it is installed, you should be given the option to either open the app or uninstall it. In that case select open.

I downloaded tha installer it opened told me to choose my version chose v1.9 it said succesfully download but busybox itself is not in the drawer just the installer
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
oh then in that case, you are done. busybox installer is the app that you will see in the app drawer. busybox itself is a file (so it will not be in the app drawer).
in case you were wondering where it is located, it is located in either /system/bin or /system/xbin, depending on where you installed it (which can be found when you open up the busybox installer app)
Ok another question my evo is rooted but I have no custom rom or kernal is it juss me or does rooting alone basically kill battery life?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
rooting only gives you superuser and so should not affect battery life at all

I agree with everything sweetnsour said so far.
How much did you pay to have your phone rooted?
I paid thirty five to have it rooted

Suggestion: save your money. It's not hard to do at all, just scary the first time. And you don't want to have to pay someone every time you want a new rom, need to update, need to unroot, have a problem, etc.
If you need help, send me a pm and I'll link you to some good resources and help you if you have any problems. And it won't cost you a dime. You root your phone to gain control over it, not to lose control and money.
There's a plethora of information and folks willing to help on this forum. Use the resources that are available for free and earn a hobby that you can be involved in, the outcome will be much better than paying this guy to do everything for you.

If you don't mind throwing away $35 then throw it to someone worth throwing it to.....like donating to developers. There are a ton of step by step instructions on how to flash custom roms to your phone. And 99% of these guides are designed specifically for noobs and first time rooters. Look at the stickies here in the Q&A section. They are packed full of information to know before you root as well as clear and noobproof step by step instructions. You can even find videos on youtube. Rooting and flashing custom roms the first time are always nerve racking because you are full of fear that you'll be "that guy" that bricks his phone. But once you've done the whole process from start to finish the first time you realize just how easy it is and then you laugh at yourself for being so worried in the first place. Save your money. Put it toward gas, beer, or donating to developers. There are plenty of people on here willing to do something like a video chat to walk you through it step by step for free.
You can not brick your phone by flashing ROMs.
The only way to brick thr EVO is by doing a battery pull while updating radios. That is it!
Read sticky's on these pages, pick a rom to try, download it to the main directory of your phone, reboot into recovery. Nand backup your phone, then flash the zip file you downloaded, enjoy! All free.
Donate to the Dev that created the Rom you like as they are the ones that make rooting fun and keep new ones coming.
Everyone on this site, started out just like you, only most did not pay to have a phone rooted.

hmmm lets see cause some people like myself would rather have fun flashing things (alpha or not) We know the risks we take with our phones. Also considering it's in a public place that is not locked for downloads he has it up for a reason. I'm just not providing the link as he did not post one and in respect to sb I won't post one unless he says it's ok to do so. But others who know how to look for things can find it and get it IF they chose to do so.

I just asked him on twitter if it would be ok to post the link just waiting to see what he says. If he is ok with it I'll put a link in another post. Also this is Vanilla AOSP according to his twitter with some CM stuff added so it's NOT a CM rom it's aosp.

Can someone pm me on where to find the jb build?

This video shows you how to get 4EXT recovery (MOD EDIT: By pirating a software and taking the risk of posting it on xda
Feel free to ignore this and move along)
Lemme know if you have any questions!

First his video is promoting warez and second you can get 4ext much simpler.
1. Go to 4ext.net
2. Download the free 4ext Updater
3. Install the updater
4. Open 4ext updater and install the recovery

This is correct. Aptoide is clearly a warez app. He says in the video to support the dev if you like it, but he still is pirating initially and we all know, most people aren't gonna go buy it if they have it for free.
I did not actually watch the video so didn't know, warez: BIG NO NO on xda

You can not but just a warning you people will probably be mad you made this thread. We have had an influx of jb related threads that if people had just searched the forums they would find the answer. Just do a little research next time before creating a thread :thumbup:

Omg ppl r going to get mad at me? How am I going to live with myself lol everyone has had a stick up their ass ever since JB just cause they can't get a flashable zip of jb
And, next time, if you can't find the answer and have a question use the question forum.
When you post questions in the general section it just clutters the threads.

As for the bootloader. I think they just figured it out. There should be a new freegee soon.

That would be great to get a wiped backup from someone. I'm running TWRP 2.4.2.0. Would that work?

As long as you have root and are on zvb, you can download freegee from the market, the new version unlocks the bootloader and removes LG security and installs a custom recovery. Well worth the 1 $.
