Hi folks,

Here's an utility that installs Busybox into /sbin until the next reboot: OmniBB.
Besides everything else, it allows the rooting functions of Wallace Toolbox (0.0.3+) and extractAppAsset method from libWallace to function correclty on the devices that didn't have Busybox installed.


(SHA256: 208bde9a950046394939b44fff76a99a2edf16b5195c716c1dd23db02c495367)

Installable from WebIDE/gdeploy, just like Wallace Toolbox or OmniSD.
Tested on MediaTeks, need testing on Unisoc/Spreadtrum devices.

Have fun!

Just enter adb shell and then run busybox command.

So, did you get the busybox working?

Reboot the device, reinstall busybox with OmniBB, check it's there without the root, then try installing Wallace Toolbox 0.0.3 and run the rooting from there.

Here's metadata.json:

{"version":1,"manifestURL":"app://omnibb.bananahackers.net/manifest.webapp"}

But why not install directly via WebIDE or gdeploy?

It's not the app's fault. The app just temporarily installs Busybox into /sbin, it has nothing to do with ADB access.

i had tried in my sprd model i waits until busybox icon appears evenly before this i had also selected adb and dev tools in developer menu but when i enter adb shell cmd in minimal adb and fastboot there's no device showing. i also tried to execute some busybox and adb commands but it saying no device\emulator found.
i hope you will improve this app as soon as possible.

No, it doesn't mean that. Busybox has absolutely nothing to do with adbd.

however i tried adb shell cmd but my device is not showing it means busybox was not installing properly in device.
