Hi all, this thread was for the G1, will this work for the Desire also?
To "install" this, just adb push the two files in the zip below onto your phone with:
Code:
adb shell mount -o remount,rw /system
adb push zipalign /system/bin
adb push zipalign_apks /system/sd/zipalign_apks.sh
adb shell chmod 755 /system/bin/zipalign /system/sd/zipalign_apks.sh
adb shell mount -o remount,ro /system
Then anytime you want to run the script just do:
Code:
adb shell sh /system/sd/zipalign_apks.sh
Or in terminal:
Code:
su
sh /system/sd/zipalign_apks.sh

Remount script ready to go next post down.
Solved ...
The point of this: Save yourself the mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 command ..
The split kernel confused me... It's /sbin in clockwork and /system/bin otherwise...
-- Little buggy on the remount state command not working ... but the remount rw and remount ro do definietly change the state of /system.
Extract the file from the .rar archive.
Get yourself into your clockwork recovery then mount system from the partitions menu and then do as follows from command prompt on the computer...
adb push remount /system/bin
adb shell chmod 775 /system/bin/remount
adb reboot
Should be all set...
Would be awesome to see this in more roms... just handy... that's all...
going to work on a reboot recovery script so that from adb shell we can reboot recovery...

Anyone knows how to install busybox?
I've tried to follow some guides but ends up with:
Code:
215:Desktop ricardo$ adb push busybox /data/local
580 KB/s (1083568 bytes in 1.823s)
215:Desktop ricardo$ adb shell
$ su
# cd /system/xbin
# mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
# cat /data/local/busybox > busybox
cannot create busybox: not enough memory
or
$ su
# cd /data/local
# mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
# dd if=/data/local/busybox of=/system/xbin/busybox
/system/xbin/busybox: cannot open for write: Out of memory
or
$ su
# cd /data/local
# mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
# ./busybox cp /data/local/busybox /system/xbin
cp: can't create '/system/xbin/busybox': Cannot allocate memory
same here. cannot write to rw-mounted /system.
sucks
Try my zip file. Woked for me
The only thing that I want to change and I can't is the init.rc file. I tried to mount the / (rootfs) with rw, but every time I restart my device the file is copied, again, from the ramdisk image.
I have the same problem

What should I do with your files?
Nobody has a solution to this?
I don't think this is a memory issue though, .. added 512mb swap and still it claimed to be out of memory, ..
also I figured maybe hd space .. however when i ln /data/local/tmp/busybox to /system/xbin it had the same error.
I both tried ln from the system and ln from busybox both had same result.
It's not a memory problem! In order to install it you have to be in recovery mode.
Try:
While in recovery mode use adb to connect to our phone. Now transfer the zip file (busybox.zip) to your phone and install it via clockwork recovery -> install zip file -> select my zip file.
can anyone post the proper busybox file cause for some reason the file signature verification failed.
adb push busybox-signed.zip /sdcard/busybox-signed.zip
rebooted phone held down volume button while booting ..
choose recovery, ..
choose install zip from sdcard..
then i see a lot of no and one yes .. so i choose yes but the installation is aborted.
Just install titanium backup and click on 'problems?' at the bottom. It will install BusyBox for you.
it has error during installation at line 4 with your busybox.zip
somethinf like can not chmod
(rooted buzz with stock rom)

Do what this guy said.
titanium install in /sdcard busybox, not in /system/bin (xbin) , so it is not usuable by other apps
i have installed it in during recovery mode in /system/xbin
how now to specify PATH for using commands from it?

you have read my mind especially since that isn't free software.

i think you need to create aliases however why install it in xbin anyways then, .. if you need to create aliases or links in bin.. ?
example
$ ln -s /data/local/tmp/busybox ls
$ ./ls
if it is in a path that is included in PATH executing a command will auto look for it in all directories defined in PATH env so basicly you could just create all the directories under /data/local/tmp/bin
and just then append that to PATH env echo $PATH then append :/data/local/tmp/bin to it and busybox should work as well.

titanium backup is free software... look on the market, there's a free version and a donate version.
i have aliases in /system/xbin
they was created after busybox --instal -s
but in system allready exists some commands like ls => i want to use ls from busbox, not from system
and terminal emulator dont anderstand ^[ likes bindings
is there a definitive way to do this. There seems to be no clear way of doing it.

To install:
1) extract and push busybox to your sdcard, reboot into recovery
2) mount /system
3) if you don't have /system/xbin (you should), create it
adb shell:
# mkdir /system/xbin (if necessary)
dd if=/sdcard/busybox of=/system/xbin/busybox
cd /system/xbin
chmod 755 busybox
./busybox --install .
4) reboot and done
OPTIONAL - before rebooting replace the busybox installed by the root process in /system/bin
1) mv /system/bin/busybox /system/bin/busybox.bak
2) cp /system/xbin/busybox /system/bin/busybox

The above is pretty straightforward. The only thing is you need to download the zip in the other thread and 'busybox' refers to the binary in the zip rather than the whole directory - as I understand it. Correct me if I am wrong but trying the dd command on the dir will not work.

You dont have to extract the binary into a folder, just extract the busybox file direct on your sdcard. Than the dd command should work, on my phone it works fine.
But if not, does the command cat in the adb shell work?
If so, try istead of the dd comand:
Code:
mount /sdcard
cat /sdcard/busybox > /system/xbin/busybox
And remember to start your wildfire in the recovery mode, that was the mistake I had done...
To install from CMD - Terminal
1. Download the fxps script. http://www.mediafire.com/?o525y4b4dewdvor
2. adb shell mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/stl6 /system
3. adb push fxps /system/bin/fxps
4. adb shell busybox chmod 755 /system/bin/fxps
5. adb shell reboot
To Run it
1. adb shell fxps
2 adb shell reboot
To install from Terminal Emulator
"Download the fxps script and move it in your SD Card" http://www.mediafire.com/?o525y4b4dewdvor
$ su
# adb shell mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/stl6 /system (Puts the system in R/W mode)
# cp /sdcard/fxps /system/bin/fxps (Copys the script from SD Card to bin directory)
# chmod 755 /system/bin/fxps (Gives root access to the script)
# reboot
To Run it open the Terminal Emulator and enter
$ su
# fxps (It will start... When it finish reboot)
# reboot
This Script is not mine i just find it and gine it to you in simple way
Thanks the Dev of this Script i hope to see it in Power Menu some day...
Great tutorial but AFAIK all available recoveries have this built in as an option dont they?

Am I the only one who thought that the system-partition should be mounted from /dev/block/mtdblock3 ?
i believe it should be mtdblock3 or you can boot into recovery and just adb shell mount /system
Some people might find that after copying the flash_image to the sdcard you get a no permission error all you need to do in the adb shell as root is remount it as exec with this command and it should work
mount -o remount,exec /dev/block//vold/179:1 /sdcard
Make sure you chmod the flash_image with exec perms e.g
chmod 777 flash_image
then it's just a quick case of flashing the image with
./flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
now you have a custom recovery
