Regarding that PATH EXPORT, it is persistent on 3 of our test G1's - looking into that for you now.

Has there been any progress on this? The path change is not persistent on my phone either.

I tried to edit the PATH statement in my /init.rc and no matter what I try can't get it writable (even as su; tried to chmod it; nothing works)

ok. when i type: ./busybox -install i get: -install: applet not found. all was just fine until this step. Once again I need your help O Great One!

[Removed Dupe Post]

Tested on G1 With JF 1.43 (Fixed)

There is a file called init.rc that be found in /system/init.rc

This is loaded on Start-up


So here we go

1. Type
su

2.Type (This will make your system path writable) on your phone
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

3. On a system with the Android SDK Installed type
adb pull /system/init.rc c:/init.rc

NB Note the system there are 2 init.rc files /init.rc loads first the calls /system/init.rc

4. Add the line To the File (I use notepad++ to edit on windows because it saves with linux brakelines)

Code:

export PATH=/data/busybox:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/sbin:/system/sbin:/system/bin:/system/xbin:/system/xbin/bb:/data/local/bin

You can edit this to sute your needs. This is mine for busybox. 5. Type adb push c:/init.rc /system/init.rc 6. Reboot your Phone For some reason after the install su did not work i had to use /usr/bin/su I will try to add an alis to fix this.

I tried that already, but not using adb. Couldn't overwrite the original init.rc no matter what I tried.

EDIT: I was trying to change the /init.rc, not /system/init.rc.

I was able to do it in system as you said but ran into other problems. When I open terminal I get the $ prompt and the colors, but when I type su it says must be setuid and won't go to the # prompt.
