Here are your instructions to install BusyBox on the Behold II.

Files Needed:
Behold II USB Drivers (ADB) (405)
Busy Box for Behold II (93)

Download the USB Drivers and Install (Confirmed working on WinXP 32bit)

Extract the folder to your desktop. Run the setup.exe file. Once complete, plug in  your phone. It’ll start installing drivers. If you get a pop to locate drivers just choose automatic. It’ll find the folder on your desktop and install the drivers. There are about 3-5 drivers to install so this box will pop up a few times. If you get a warning just hit “Continue Anyway”. This is normal.

Once that’s complete, lets verify that the drivers were installed correctly and ADB works.

Open a CMD (command prompt window)
type: adb devices (of course this is assuming you have adb setup and the android SDK installed on your computer. If you do not, please read my ADB for Dummies post.)
If your device is listed then you’re ready to proceed.

Now extract the BusyBox file you downloaded above. Inside you’ll find a *.bat file. With your phone plugged into the computer, run that file and follow the instructions in the paragraph it shows. Once complete just reboot your phone and you’re done.

To test that it works, open up a terminal window on your phone (you can download terminal emulator or connectbot from the Market)
type: BusyBox

If all went well you should see the busybox commands…. Enjoy!
