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?

  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
  1. Then download busybox from here
  2. Move it to your adb directory
  3. 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
