adb not found/busybox install help

[Topsy]

Welcome. Enjoy metamorphosis and the custom themes.

try this route instead:
adb push busybox /data/local/busybox
adb shell
su
cd /data/local
chmod 755 busybox
./busybox

can you help out Topsy.
I get to the ./busybox line, and the following happens:
./busybox
./busybox: permission denied

I know I'm rooted, because I did that correctly...any ideas?

I have done a search and couldn't find anything on this so here I go. I am not extremely new to adb shells and linux operating systems (I successfully installed ydl on my ps3) but I have recently run into an issue on my rooted droid. I am trying to install busybox onto the phone and do the following:
$ su
# mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
adb push ./busybox /system/sbin

When I get to the last step I get "adb: not found". I have attached a screen capture to show where I am at. I'm not quite sure why it is coming up with this and don't really know what to do from here. I have a copy of busybox in the tools folder and on the root of the sd card. Thank you for any help and let me know if you need anymore info.

You can't do an adb push from within an adb shell, that's what's wrong.

adb push busybox /sdcard/
adb shell
$su
#mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system
#cp /sdcard/busybox /system/sbin/

should do the trick.

would of given anything to know that weeks ago. pushing from the shell caused me so many headaches

Lol I hear ya, we've all learned some things by beating our heads against that proverbial brick wall for a brief time, hehe.

@jrocket:
Not sure, if you typed everything correctly then it should have worked.
Either there was a typo , or something is else is off.
The fact that su worked says you do have root.
Can always try
#mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system
then try to install busbybox if its a permissions issue
