ok so i've done all the instructions you have given and everytime i try to type adb into cmd.exe it says.... 'adb' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file... what am i doing wrong?

You ether need to download android-sdk_r07-windows.zip HERE. Or you need to do what XTendDroid said in his post.

If you down load the file android-sdk_r07-windows.zip just follow the instructions the OP provided.

What do I do if the abd push command does not work? It doesnt transfer any of the files.

I'm having a problem at the first $. Everytime I input "cd /data/local/tmp chmod 0755 rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin" I get the response "cd: bad substitution"

Anyway to help me?

Permission Denied at push su /sdcard/su

In section 4 I get permission denied when I start with the following line:

adb push su /sdcard/su

Failed to copy 'su' to '/sdcard/su': Permission denied

Make sure you're typing the commands correctly. With spaces where there should be spaces and no spaces where there shouldn't be spaces. Make sure the sd card is not unmounted.

Those are 2 different lines. You're entering it as one command.

Are you at a # prompt or a $ prompt?

After adb shell, I get a # prompt. Then you say to exit, so now I'm back at the c:\rootfiles prompt. This is where I am copy/pasting these commands.

REMOVED the SD card and slid it back in. It started working once the SD was reinitialized.

in the ADB step I discovered that (in Win 7), my cmd window size as limited width which can be changed with mode x, y command, but this program is slick solution:
For free ColorConsole 1.82

Hi...
I was doing ok, but hit a snag...
In Section 4,
The 1st 3 commands went ok
adb push su /sdcard/su
adb push busybox /sdcard/busybox
adb shell (This put me at the $ prompt)

However, the next command
mount -t rfs -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl9 /system

I get this message
mount: Operation not permitted

Please help
