I'm trying to reinstall busybox. After installing the Froyo leak Titanium backup stopped working. My phone is still rooted, which means it must be busybox.

So since it's been awhile since I've done any of this I go back to the guides and follow them verbatim.

adb push busybox /data/local/busybox <-- works
adb shell <-- works
su <-- works
cd /data/local <-- works
chmod 755 busybox <-- works
./busybox

here I get: ./busybox: permission denied
so what's the deal?
 
if metamorph wont see busybox this is the fix I have used in the past when tibu didnt fix the problem

adb push busybox /data/local/busybox
adb shell
su
cd /data/local
chmod 755 busybox
./busybox
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system
mkdir /system/xbin
/data/local/busybox cp /data/local/busybox /system/xbin
/data/local/busybox cp /data/local/busybox /system/bin
cd /system/xbin
busybox --install .
mount -o ro,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system
sync
reboot
