Root PLEASE - need help, problem in cmd after deodexing process

I know theres a lot of threads with people having problems with deodexing but I almost finished and ran into this problem -

OK, I have a rooted OTA X and began to follow the below instructions -

[HOW-TO] Manually deodex your phone.

Everything was going fine until I went into cmd to run adb -

adb shell
su
stop
mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
cp /sdcard/done_app/* /system/app/
cp /sdcard/done_frame/* /system/framework/
rm /system/app/*.odex
rm /system/framework/*.odex
mount -o ro,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
reboot


After I ran the prompt in green, and then proceeded to run the prompt in red CMD stated "no such file or directory". Now I moved both folders onto the root of my sdcard like the directions stated, and from my PC I can see that they are indeed in the folder. BUT now my phones froze, still plugged into the PC, with debugging on, in Mass Storage mode, adb doesn't recognize the device either - I can't do anything on the phone, no button will "wake" it from this state. I'm afraid to pull the battery or even unplug it from the PC.

Was it the previous command line that did it? the one in green? Please help, I was almost finished and this is my first attempt at this process.

Thank you so much in advance!! I did a Tbackup before I did this, just in case, if that helps. And I can still browse my sdcard via pc connection it that helps too.

EDIT: SORRY, I WAS IN A PANIC AND DIDN'T REALIZE WHICH TOPIC THIS WAS IN AFTER LOGGING IN - PLEASE MOVE, THIS BELONGS IN EVERYTHING ROOT -
 
I wouldn't think the command did it since it didn't successfully complete, so it shouldn't have done anything.

Just pull the battery. The worst that can happen is you have to use the sbf which is a possibility anytime you mod your phone. I personally prefer using deodexed themes or ROMs instead of manually deodexing. It is so much easier IMO.
 
I cheated. I deodexed mine by installing the black glass theme that does the deodex automatically, then installed the back to stock deodex theme. Then I installed whatever I wanted. Check out 928droid.com. You can google the instructions.
 
It's not going to be able to find your sdcard when your USB mode is 'mass storage' seeing as how the sdcard is being mounted for your computer to read :)

Funny enough though, usb debugging works just fine in "charging mode only"

That really does work out better in charge only mode. I am glad it doesn't work the way every said it should.
