Did you edit the script at all? If so, you probably killed the unix-style line endings (Notepad will do this, use Notepad++ or edit the script on the device directly using the long-press option in Root Explorer).

No sir. I did not edit it. I don't know this type of development. I downloaded to pc and transferred to my phone and ran it.

It apparently doesn't like the redirection to /dev/null for some reason on your phone when mounting your /system as rw.

If you have Root Explorer on your phone, launch it, navigate to /system, and click the 'RW' button at the top to mount your /system as 'RW'. Then try the script.

Try editing the script (on the device using Root Explorer and long-press to edit). Delete all occurrences of "2>/dev/null" which is supposed to suppress the results of a command, but is apparently causing issues on some devices. Perhaps you have a different version of busybox installed.

Once you fix and save the script, try it again. If you do this under Windows, make sure you use Notepad++ or it'll destroy the unix-style line endings and won't run properly.

I think it worked but didn't think it did. Under titanium a bunch of apps are crossed out (I created a full back up b4 doing this) including city id which I have a subscription for and I know I didn't disable it. So I'm not sure. I got root explorer uncrossed but didn't rerun it.

so i removed all of the dev/null and then it just failed out on all of the actions

even made sure to mount /system as RW. Is there anything i can add to the end of the script to pause before it reboots.

So i then took the reboot out of the end of the scipt. It is saying there is no such file or directory on all actions

You are running this script ON YOUR DEVICE, correct? You're not trying to run this from a bash shell on your computer, are you? It was written for the phone itself, such as using Script Manager or another app to launch it.

Could you attach your version of the script post-edits?
