thanks 4 suggestion ... the link u provided is the same link for su.zip that i attempted yesterday.

I did not realize when you root , busybox will be installed. If i'd known, i would not have been trying todo a manual BB install...;.

CWM flash looked fine but, then nothing worked , the symlink was there but there was no su binary in /system/bin or in /system/xbin

PS i dont understand the symlinks when both /system/bin and /system/xbin are in the path??

echo $PATH

/sbin:/vendor/bin:/system/sbin:/system/bin:/system/xbin

my FAQ on BusyBox problems ( using .apk to install ) assumed that i did NOT already have it...

when i look at all the symlinks in /system/bin, i'm willing to guess that it already was installed during my actions with CWM trying to get root??

$ adb shell ls -l /system/bin | grep '^l'
