"mount options" are for mounting and unmount partitions on the phone such as /system or /sdcard. In order for you to copy a file to the phone, the partition you're copying to needs to be mounted, so you can use that menu to mount. The wipe data/factory settings option erases /data and is basically a clean restore to the same ROM.

I think I know where I potentially went wrong. since i did not use ADB to get the proper flash files onto the sd card (I dragged and dropped them after connecting with USB transfer) I did not push the files on using ADB. I guess this makes a difference? I got ADB running, but I am having a few issues with commands.. I keep getting a permission denied message with regards to the commands to push the files to the sd card.. So I'm making progress.

I'm officially out of harms way.. Got the SPRecovery image properly flashed and a nandroid backup made. now on for the customizing. anybody have any good links for getting rid of unwanted pre-installed apps?

Thanks for all your help.

Ian,

Pleased you got the recovery working. This thread is stickied at the top of this page. In this thread, five doors down is the first thread discussing renaming factory apps to have them not launch/remove from your app tray.

http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-hacks/11102-all-one-popular-threads-read-before-posting.html

Please note that the commands here rename the app by sticking a .bak on the end. This effectively disables the app without removing it from the phone. This can be a good thing, as you run the risk of causing phone problems if you erase/rename an app that you might want back, or that perhaps another app needs to have functioning in order to work.

I have disabled the three in this post, CorpCal, Amizon and VVmail, without issue, but go slow when doing anything more.

I am having the same problem and have not been able to figure out what the issue is either. I am getting the same exact error.

omg plz someone help me:

I typed su, and it opened Superuser Permissions, but where do i type all this?

3 - mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system - this mounts /system as a writable partition

4 - mkdir /system/xbin - if it already exists you will simply get an error

5 - cat /sdcard/flash_image > /system/xbin/flash_image

6 - chmod 700 /system/xbin/flash_image - validate permissions on /system/xbin/flash_image - you are the root user after all, don't need world and group executable or even read =)

etc???????????

Excuse my triple post- Se7enLC is there a way you could toss me your contact info such as MSN, or AIM messenger screen names?

I need some hands on help- for some reason I'm beginning to think I have a faulty droid.
