echo ÖØÉèsystemÖ»¶ÁÊôÐÔ
adb shell "mount -o ro,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system"
echo Íê³Éroot£¬ÇëÖØÆôÊÖ»ú
:sleep
(ping 127.0.0.1 -n 2 -w 1000 > NUL)> sleep.txt
(ping 127.0.0.1 -n %1 -w 1000 > NUL)> sleep.txt
del sleep.txt

You have to push su in bin directory non in app directory...

adb push su /system/app/su

Please correct this bug.
I've also tried to upload any file thought adb (after r/w mount), but the phone doesn't recognize the apk's (Superuser and Recovery), they still invisible...

Any solution?

Well done, i did it this:

- Downloaded your 2.21boot.zip;
- Flashed thought RSD;
- Downloaded Android SDK with ADB;
- Download this Rootpack http://www.mediafire.com/?kjee8aj22j9m5zj;
- Extract this files in you /sdk/tools directory;
- Open cmd and point it in the directory with ADB;
- Run this commands:

adb devices
adb shell mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
adb push Superuser.apk /system/app/Superuser.apk
adb push su /system/bin/su
adb shell chmod 4755 /system/bin/su
adb push busybox /system/bin/busybox
adb shell chmod 4755 /system/bin/busybox
adb shell mount -o ro,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
adb reboot

Thank you for Your Bug Report.

Is there any way now to flash back to an older SBF?

fixed recovery.exe = its not working , root exe not found windows warning

batch reply "root.exe not found" after double click the defy_recovery.exe

also, from above reply:
"mount: Operation not permitted"

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hello,
I found out the way to get this rooting working.

everything stays the same until running the recovery.exe part

then please refer to the old rooting method

BUT using the rooting pack mentioned above link

then flash back to 2.51

it should work!

cheers!
