FYI: These instructions ONLY work if you have a PC connection with ADB.
The stupid ADB wireless widget (I have because I have NEVER gotten ADB to work) only works IF YOU HAVE ROOT! So, how the heck.....?! Anywho, the below should work just dandy - IF you have an ADB PC connection...
- - -
Download: (Don't Install Yet)Assuming ADB is still installed on Windows, copy each of the above into C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools
Open the DOS prompt, and type "CD C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools" [enter]
If using ADB Wireless Widget, type "adb connect [IP Address:Port]"
(Key: You Type. It responds.)

cd /data/local
root@android:/data/local # cat Superuser.apk > /system/app/Superuser.apk
cat Superuser.apk > /system/app/Superuser.apk

cat su > /system/bin/su
root@android:/data/local # cat BusyBox.apk > /system/xbin/BusyBox.apk
cat BusyBox.apk > /system/xbin/BusyBox.apk
root@android:/data/local # ln -s /system/bin/su /system/xbin/su
ln -s /system/bin/su /system/xbin/su (** If not, see tips below)
root@android:/data/local # chmod 06755 /system/bin/su
chmod 06755 /system/bin/su
Typing su should now work
root@android:/data/local # su
su (** If not, see tips below)
At this point, you can/should install BusyBox like any other app.
Troubleshooting Tips:
- If you get an error similar to: "link_image[1938]: 2060 missing essential tablesCANNOT LINK EXECUTABLE", then it's because you didn't download the "fixed" su file (like me), and you have an su file that is not compatible with Honeycomb.
- When creating the link to su, if you receive a "File Exists" error message, then type: rm /system/xbin/su, reissue the ln command, and continue with the rest of the instructions.
