i am trying to root my ese81 stok with just root.
I get through the "adb push su /system/bin/su" command fine then i do adb shell "/system/bin/chmod 6755 /system/bin/su" command and i get a permission denied error how do i fix this?
ty in advance
 
If your on the STOCK OTA update then you can't root it, now if you used the ESE81 W/ Root then.....you already have root. Also it should

chmod 6755 /system/bin/su

Try doing this first

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

If it still doesn't work then you probably aren't rooted in which case you need to get handy with RSD Lite.
 
I'm following the instructions at this http://androidforums.com/all-things-root-droid/63010-how-install-sprecovery-unrooted-2-1-ota.html I have stock android with srecovery. I dont want to load a custom rom because they just give me the worst battery life ever. I just want to overlock. There is a guide at the bottom of the OP that shows adb commands and a download link.

Heres what i do
cd\
cd androidsdk\tools\
adb push su /system/bin/su
adb shell "/system/bin/chmod 6755 /system/bin/su"
/system/bin/chmod: permission denied
 
Did you mount system as read/write like CRP said? Are you doing it with SPRecovery per the instructions?

Yeah you have to use the command from the shell (which is basically emulating a terminal on the Droid itself)

Try this:
Code: 
adb shell "mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system"
