Ok, so I followed the instructions here: (I can't post links ;( email me for the threads i went to)
and hereI can't post links ;( email me for the threads i went to)
and when trying to install su-2.3.6.1+busybox1.19zip, I get the following message - "E:Can't symlink /system/xbin/su
E:Failure at line 8:
symlink /system/bin/su SYTEM:xbin/su
Installation aborted."
What on earth did I do wrong???
No replies in 7 months? I too am struggling with this. Any help is appreciated.
That is because you can't flash that file via cwm. You need to push the files using adb. In addition I would suggest droidstyles guide because it spells out everything you need to do.

I'm trying to install ginger clone r2 on my vibrant. I used ODIN to get back to 2.1 then installed rom manager and CWM. I constantly receive an error during installation of the ROM that reads:
formatting data...
copying files...
E:can't chown/mod /data/app
(operation not permitted)
E:failure at line 70
set_perm 1000 1000 0771 DATA:app
Installation aborted
this error happens with any custom ROM that i try to install.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I have to ask the most obvious, are you rooted man?
Did you check the MD5 (doubtful this was the cause)
it is rooted. i just tried the su command and it came back with #. how would i check MD5?
Eugene posted an update I think, see if it helps
You can check your MD5 with a program called hashtab, google it
yeah, hashtab is great:

I googled your error and someone said their issue was not being rooted, had to ask.
i finally got ginger clone to install. after i opened up the terminal and check i decided to give flashing ginger clone another shot and it worked. maybe it had to do with super user permissions or something because i changed those to allow the su command to work which i never did before. thanks for the help guys!

The Tutorial is for MIUI 2.2 so why you use it on CM 7 (2.3)?

Sense! Its probably not going to boot with that tutorial. Better to try with an AOSP build.

well then u have to manually check every file of the update.zip in /system/bin & /system/xbin to verify that there are no files with same name as the new symbolic links that are being created...
View attachment META-INF.rar
here is one to compare and remember to use notepad++ to edit, not regular notepad
if you get a can't symlink error
that means the file is still in the folder
when that happens you can do one of two things.. on delete the line from update script
or two... the one I prefer... delete the file from the actuall rom folder
ex.. cannot symlink ifconfig
I would go to bin and delete ifconfig
another tip is once the rom starts installing you will want to install another rom that is working... the farther you get in the installation the better the chances are you messed up it going into recovery... then you can be sure that after the error you reboot into recovery.. this has saved me many times of having to reflash the whole bb with flashtool wich takes a lot longer than a recovery restore
Sorry to clutter the forum, just really annoyed. Im trying to flash a new rom and every time I do it gives me the error
Cannot symlink system/xbin/su
Error at line 12:
Cannot symlink busybox
Or something close to that. Anyone have any idea whats going on?
Any help would be appreciated. This is just a experiment phone and not my actual phone so no rush haha.
Thanks
what I talk about is this navigation unlock version:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1007132
Install the apk from file explore but failed, then I followed the installation guide in above link but failed when remount
C:\android-sdk-windows\tools>adb remount
remount failed: Operation not permitted
I think this is defect in villain then I use root explore to copy the apk file to /system/app then reboot, but still not work.
Anybody has tried this and did you success?
use terminal emulator,
enter "su"
mount it as rw and push to the folder

su
mount -o remount,rw /system
THEN you can copy it from the sd card to /system, but remember that there are instructions on installing modified maps packages you should follow.

Thanks pulser_g2, I tried the way you mentioned but still no luck. I suspected maybe this caused by ownhere apk now, because I see some other similar issues in other forum.
Anyway I have post a query in the ownhere thread to ask help. Thanks again.
solved. see below post:

I would be tempted to manually unroot the phone.
pc$ = shell on your computer
android$ = non-root shell on your phone
android# = root shell on your phone
Code:
# make sure phone is connected
pc$ adb devices
# backup su and Superuser.apk
pc$ cd my_backup_dir
pc$ adb pull /system/bin/su
pc$ adb pull /system/app/Superuser.apk
# remove su and Superuser.apk from phone
pc$ adb shell
android$ su
android# mount -o remount,rw /system
android# rm /system/bin/su /system/app/Superuser.apk
android# mount -o remount,ro /system
android# exit
android$ exit
pc$
If you have installed busybox, it can be backed up and deleted in much the same way.
