sorry to bother you but every time i try to use the"adb remount' command prompt on [c:\android\tools]
it gives me an error, "adb its not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file"

any ideas will be greatly appreciated
 
I've never had luck with "adb remount" but I think that it is just an alias for a longer command. After typing adb shell and su type this:
Code: 
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
You can set up an alias to use that string in the adb sdk. Some other options is to get DroidRootHelper which lets you mount block3 and block4 just by clicking the buttons in the app interface or get Better Terminal Emulator Pro and let it download the shell then you get a lot more linux terminal commands and features and you can type "sysrw" to put the system into read/write mode and "sysro" to put it back into read only mode. Also remember chmod plays a big role, when pushing files the permissions usually don't transfer and have to be specified.
 
Ok, im running 2.2, calls, texts, and wifi working. only thing i need now is the 3g. the 3g and 1x icon appears but doesn't connect to the cricket net. used root explorer to copy the autostart.sh into the the data/opt but had to create the opt folder because it wasn't there. when i try to copy the u2nl file to the system/bin it says its copying it but then i don't see it in the directory itself. assistance?
 
I had to rewrite my nvitems. As for u2nl and Root Explorer, make sure you make /system/bin/ r/w before trying to copy u2nl. And while your in /system/bin/ make sure iptables is still listed there.
 
Yeah. NV items and the kernel is fine. integrajoey and I came to the conclusion that if you flash a P3 kernel to a ROM when the ROM doesn't come with a P3 kernel stock, that flashing will break diag mode. These FroYo releases come with P3 stock, so diag mode works.
 
I can confirm that 2.2 works with everything.
Both Froyo releases have worked fine, Bugless Beast works, CyanogenMod works, rooted stock w/ custom kernel works as well.

Seems it's all in the kernel?

Oh, and is there a way to fix the issue where 3G/1x/Data gets lost for a couple seconds? This happens a couple times a day.
 
A lot of you with adb problems should start transferring the files to your sdcard and using root explorer to install/copy/paste them. It only requires you to first adb install rootexplorer.apk. Once that's on the phone, use it to install autostart.apk and place the files where they need to be with the proper permissions.
I will try to do a youtube vid showing how this is done.
 
Been noticing my phone switching to 1x more often since moving to Froyo and the new baseband.
I rarely saw it before, so I don't know exactly if its the phone or cricket.
 
Even better--just inject whatever APKs are necessary for your situation straight into the update.zip of the ROM in the /system/app dir. I've post a how-to of that a few pages back.
 
That is simply Genius... but it's Common Sense, so why didn't I think of that? LoL. Could I just go ahead and put all of my Apps in there so that I wouldn't have to Re-Download them or use Titanium Backup?
