Download Open Recovery, it has a busybox binary. Just in case, do a backup of system using it. Then copy the busybox to /system/bin/ (in normal mode, not recovery (actually you can do it in recovery too, if you mount system)) and into adb shell under root type:
cd /system/bin
chown 0:0 busybox
chmod 755 busybox
busybox --install -s

You can also install busybox when you first install Titanium Pro it will install busybox also

i think titanium pro installed busy box in a different folder.

If you are in recovery, you have to mount system first.

Need help here. I'm using OpenRecovery and now I wanna install busybox. There's a busybox file in /sbin but since I'm not sure how to make use of it so I copied it to the sdcard root and did this:

cd /androidsdk/tools
adb shell
su
cp -f /sdcard/busybox /system/bin/busybox

then I can see through Astro that busybox is in /system/bin

From what I searched online I need to enter this commands to complete the installation, is this correct?

adb shell
su
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock6 /system
cd /system/bin
chown 0:0 busybox
chmod 755 busybox
busybox --install -s

Problem is when I reach "chown 0:0 busybox" I get an error "no such user '0:0' "
What does this mean? What am I missing?

Note: I couldn't run Titanium backup before this due to the lack of busybox in my phone, but now I'm able to run it no problems.

What I would like to know is that are the mount,chown & chmod commands neccessary? coz I wanna move my dalvik cache to /cache after this and hope there won't be any problems. Any help would be deeply aprreciated. I'm pretty new to these stuff
