Root Mytouch can't write to system even in recovery

[operat0r]

UPDATE: did some PATH hackery ... this is not a fix tho ....

mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /
rm -Rf /nmap
mkdir /nmap

echo 'export PATH=$PATH:/nmap' > path

cd /nmap
wget http://rmccurdy.com/stuff/G1/BINS/NMAP/NMAP.zip
unzip NMAP.zip
chmod 777 /nmap/*
export PATH=$PATH:/nmap
echo run /nmap/path before you start nmap 
nmap -vvv 127.0.0.1

rmccurdy.com/nmap.sh (tested on CM6 / mytouch slide )


in normal mode ..

bash
localhost / # mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /system
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /system
localhost / # cd /system
cd /system
localhost system # for i in `ls` ;do mkdir $i\\nmap ;done
for i in `ls` ;do mkdir $i\\nmap ;done
mkdir: can't create directory 'app\nmap': Out of memory
mkdir: can't create directory 'bin\nmap': Out of memory

in "Android system recovery (2e)" :
( note: /system is also a vfs I think .. I adb push to it and reboot and the file is gone ... )

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\nmap>adb shell
- exec '/system/bin/sh' failed: No such file or directory (2) -

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\nmap>

If your phone does not have root, you cannot write to the system. The file would disapper because of the NAND protection I would bet, unless you already have root. But this is still very impressive: what is this for exactly? A mod? It looks interesting.

I am the first person on the internet that I can find that was able to compile nmap for android http://wjholden.com/nmap/ took the idea and ran with it
