pushing busybox into android emulator

Question

I've downloaded the source for mips android and have done a "make" and got the emulator running. I want to push the busybox into the emulator. I've downloaded the static compiled busybox binary. Under which directory should I place this and what should I do to push the busybox into the emulator?

Answer 1

1. Root your emulator
2. Download this
3. Extract it then move \system\lib\su and \system\app\superuser.apk to your adb directory.
4. Run adb and then enter the following:

adb shell mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock03 /system  
adb push su /system/xbin/su  
adb shell chmod 06755 /system  
adb shell chmod 06755 /system/xbin/su
adb install superuser.apk

5. Then download busybox from here
6. Move it to your adb directory
7. run adb and then enter:

adb shell mkdir /data/busybox
adb push busybox /data/busybox
adb shell
su
cd /data/busybox
chmod 775 busybox
./busybox --install
busybox
