i am looking up some info

when you go into droidmod are you able to click on latest rom bar.

This usually solves permissions issues:


su

mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system

chmod 755 /system/xbin/busybox

mount -o remount,ro -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system

sync

exit

I am reading through similar threads on 3 different forums right now.

Yes, I see stock(no root) and droid mod 1.0. I am unble to complete installation of either, as it will state something about not having permission.

I appreciate all of the help. Every thread I saw last night with similar issues either had no answer, or suggested the bricked phone recovery method.

I also notice on other forums, the replies usually consist of people berating the person for the problem for not completely understanding root. The poor guy is stressing about wether he bricked his phone, and those guys are just making him feel worse.
So, thanks for the help, without the bs.

Did you try what bayouflyfisher suggested.

Because my next idea is to have you use astro file manager and uninstall droidmod 1.0 app, then have you install it again and run it. It has worked before.

mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system

chmod 755 /system/xbin/busybox

mount -o remount,ro -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system

sync

exit

Not sure what you are telling me to do here. When opening superuser permissions app, I have a black screen and am unable to select or choose anything.

Open one of the terminal emulators and open your physical keyboard and type in those lines exactly with all spaces.

Man, I don't even know what a terminal emulator is...
I'm way over my head.

Go to the market and search for terminal. There will be several te programs. I use one titled Terminal Emulator or Better Terminal Emulator. Install one and use it to enter the commands.

 

[pc747]

terminal emulator is in the market

 

[sparky636]

I get immediate force closes when trying to open either te or better te pro.

 

[sparky636]

I see [user@droi} / $
is this te?
