[G1 Android Development] jcarrz1:
lol that's cuz it bypasses the code for g1... same as before :)

Firerat, the patch doesn't work, logcat says "couldn't find /system/bin/sh" when I even try to run it, same with shell. Wtf? sounds like a symlink problem. I'll reboot into recovery and see what's where...

Yep. in recovery:

cd /system/bin

can't cd to /system/bin

LOL it don't exist...
