adb not found/busybox install help

[zeppelinmad4]

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.

okay so maybe I'm a little more confused than I originally thought. As you can see in the capture, I did what you said but now get a "cp: not found". I have since exited and tried to push out of the shell but get a permission denied. Thanks for the help.

ya sorry that works for me but i forgot it's cause i already have busybox installed , oops

try this route instead:
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

Thanks for the helps so far I'm so close. As you can see, I got all the way to "cd /system/xbin" and it says can't cd /system/xbin.

forgot the / before system,

cd /system/xbin
instead of
cd system/xbin

Thanks got to that part and got busybox --install and got no such file or directory for many many directories.

I forgot to mention that I did the rest of the steps and then tried to start up metamorph (I'm installing a new theme) and it still said that busybox wasn't installed so I came back here. Then I got this bright idea to turn off debugging and tada!!! I'm pretty sure that everything is good. I really appreciate you sticking around and helping me with this.

you've got a busybox that is hard coded to install to another directory.

Attached is a version that will work for you.


Well I see you got it working , but it took forever to get the forums to accept the upload, so here it is.
