How To Install Busybox On Android Emulator (android 2.3.3)?

I am trying to install busybox on android emulator (android 2.3.3). I followed both methods given in the post pushing busybox into android emulator, but I am facing problem. I used

Solution 1:

Problem is solved, I followed procedure from the link http://allencch.wordpress.com/2012/02/29/learn-to-root-android-using-emulator/.

I think the mistake, was that I was not starting the avd with extra space, this above tutorial mentions "We will start the emulator with extra disk space for /system. By this, we can add extra files to /system later."

emulator -avd MyAndroid -partition-size 128 -no-snapshot-load

This tutorial also mentions that "we need to use “adb shell” to remount the /system so that we have write access to the /system."

adb shell mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock0 /system

Then, we just need to do the following:

adb push su /system/xbin/
adb push busybox /system/xbin/

(After above step, if you get error message

failed tocopy'busybox'to'/system/xbin//busybox': Outof memory

Then restart your AVD with partition size greater than 128 e.g. I start it with 512. Then, repeat the above steps.)

adb shell chmod 06755 /system/xbin/su
adb shell chmod 06755 /system/xbin/busybox

I think that su was no necessary, since emulator already possess root access, but I followed the whole procedure.

On restarting the emulator, everything goes to default, which means no more 'su'. To solve this read, from above mentioned tutorial, the paragraph with title 'Solution'.
