Can you guys help me please. I got stuck at the second step


mkdir /data/busybox, on your G1 terminal.

Then copy the busybox binary (link above) across to to your SDCARD

Then move it to your newly created /data/busybox folder like this:

cat /sdcard/busybox > /data/busybox <<< this gives me an error

# cat /sdcard/busybox > /data/busybox
cat /sdcard/busybox > /data/busybox
cannot create /data/busybox: is a directory

This has already been asked and answered earlier in the thread. Change '/data/busybox' to '/data/busybox/busybox'

I had some issues setting the path in /system/init.rc but I found out why it didn't work for me. I initially indented the line because the other lines were indented. After removing the indent it worked but then I had the problem where su didn't work. So I called /system/bin/su which worked and then went through the process again and made sure /system/bin was in front of /data/busybox in the path. After setting this both the busy box commands and system commands work (su, reboot, etc). My final path that I added to /system/init.rc on my ADP1 is below:

export PATH /system/bin:/data/busybox:$PATH
