You shouldn't need to run any other app at the same time, but you should run the busybox installer to get that up and running first.

 

[brotherswing]

Instead of long pressing, just tap the zip file. Select " Extrac file here"

Ah. There it is. I knew it would be something along those lines.

 

[sewster]

it does not give the option to extract files, just to create the following:zip, encrypted zip, gzip, tar

 

[AndyOpie150]

You need to get Busybox installed before we can continue as it has the needed binaries for most su commands.

 

[sewster]

the file on the sd card says flash_image
it does not end in zip
I know I am missing something simple I just dont know what.

 

[AndyOpie150]

it does not give the option to extract files, just to create the following:zip, encrypted zip, gzip, tar

ok your unzipped
Your problem is not having Busybox installed.

 

[brotherswing]

AH HA! The image is ready to be flashed! You should return to which ever guide you've been following, and start at the point where it describes this process.

 

[sewster]

Busybox 1.19.3
Busybox Installer- There seems to be a problem with some of the utilities needed to install Busybox....
says i can try to install busybox regardless but it will probably fail. in order to fix this you will probably need to reflash your ROM.
Hmmm...

 

[sewster]

So here's what I've done so far so you know where I am at.
I've downloaded:
Androzip
Busybox
Terminal Emulator
Titanium Backup-(for later use)

I have these on my sd card:
GingerBreak/Superuser
flash_image
IHOrecovery.img- changed to vrecovery.img
xioniarecovery.img

I have run the Terminal Emulator and after a couple of entries get:
sdcard/flash_image: No such file or directory

While installing Busybox I get:
Busybox Installer- There seems to be a problem with some of the utilities needed to install Busybox....

Where do I go from here?

 

[brotherswing]

At this point, you may need to flash your new recovery from a PC. Not sure though, Andy, Ben, or Jerry would probably be better able to answer that one.

(Huh! Ben and Jerry! I'm such a child! )

 

[AndyOpie150]

Which Busybox installer did you download?

 

[sewster]

Alrighty. I thank you for your help and quick responses.

 

[sewster]

I tried BusyBox 1.19.3 but did not get very far.

 

[AndyOpie150]

Who's Busybox installer?

 

[sewster]

Ohhh, BusyBox-Stephen (Stericson)
I hope that is what you mean.

 

[brotherswing]

Who's Busybox installer?

Good thinking! Not all are created equally.

 

[sewster]

Should I try BusyBox Installer-JRummy16 or is there another one I should use?

 

[AndyOpie150]

Go to the market and update su. And download ES file explorer so we can check the permission on su.

 

[sewster]

Went to market and it said su was not installed however I did open it on my phone last night. Anyways, it's updated and when opened says no apps in list. I hope that is normal. ES file explorer is installed as well.

 

[AndyOpie150]

Ok that was your problem . Run the Busybox installer.

 

[brotherswing]

Anyways, it's updated and when opened says no apps in list. I hope that is normal.

Yes, that is normal. Apps will appear in the list only after you give them permission. You'll understand after it happens.

 

[sewster]

select install location .../system/xbin/
failed to copy over to system/bin
Do I go ahead and change the location from x/bin to bin ?
And should the Symlink applets box be checked?

 

[brotherswing]

I would.

 

[sewster]

ugh, failed again.
