ESE53 terminal problems.

[woodyman]

ok so today I flashed petes newest ESE53 build and after restoring all apps and such, I ran terminal and the commands cp are not used.. on 2.0.1 cp was used to copy things..

what's the new command line prompt for 2.1 builds, the commands rm and mv stayed the same, but cp won't work.. so what do I need to type into the terminal in order to copy files on this new build..?

busybox is probably not in /system/bin

For some reason pete always forgets to include it in his roms. Here you go busybox.zip

Unzip, copy to /sdcard and the usual terminal commands to push to /system/bin
Also chmod 755

LOL thanks man will try this out soon probably not tonight.. I'm on my rom. Now not Pete's....

[woodyman]

Ok so figured id try this now, what terminal commands do I use.. or is this done using adb.?

[nphil]

after copying busybox to your sdcard's root,

in adb,
adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system
dd if=/sdcard/busybox of=/system/bin/
chmod 755 /system/bin/busybox
mount -o remount,ro -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system
sync
reboot

or just use root explorer and copy the file over to /system/bin then long click on busybox, permissions, check Read, write, execute for user. Read, execute for group and read execute for others.

EDIT: Corrected terminal commands, silly me.

Ok so I got busybox and chmod installed into the /system/bin and terminal still says cp is not a recognized command.. ? What's going on rebooted just to double check there there it just won't work..

[nphil]

my bad, if youre trying to use cp from a windows terminal (in shell), use busybox CP

using just cp works within any terminal app on the phone though. I use better terminal pro.

btw you don't install chmod, its just a command to change permissions

[woodyman]

Yeah trying to use just cp on the phone..
And I installed busybox using droidroothelper instead of adb cause. I've got my comp shut down for the night.. but the command cp isn't working..

[nphil]

hmm.. not sure where droidroothelper copies busybox to, but I did this the manual way on pete's .8 ROM a while ago and it worked.. Try it that way later and see if it works!

[woodyman]

Roothelper copied busybox into system bin but it didn't work like u said ill ry again tommrrow with adb..
