I have root, but not really??

[JINXR65]

A while back I updated to VC using the LG Update Tool and then rooted my phone using ADB and installed ThunderC recovery. Then I installed the VC007 rom. Well, that rom bricked my phone but I was able to un-brick it using Zefie's Un-Brick for Some Bricks method. After that, I said I wasn't going to mess with it. Luckily, I had my Nandroid stock VC backup prior to putting the VC007 rom on and that's what I'm currently running.

Well, now I really want to try out the CM7 rom and so I started off by using the root method for VC. When I get to the step to fire up the shell, it shows a #, but it says the system/bin/mount is not found. I downloaded Root Checker from the market and it says I do not have root access, but I do have BusyBox installed properly.

Can somebody help me out??

Did you type "system/bin/mount" or "/system/bin/mount"?

I copied and pasted it straight from the instructions, so this is what I put in there:

/system/bin/mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /system /system

The reason I asked is in your first post you listed the error message as "system/bin/mount"

The error message you listed is about not being able to find a command. It isn't directly related to having or not having root privileges. If the command ran but failed to do the mount, then that could be related to root, however that isn't what you are seeing.

Either you are typing the wrong path to the command or the partition containing /system/bin isn't mounted.

Could it be a problem with the update.zip? I'm going to re-download it and try it again.

It's possible that is the problem. You should be running the V8->V9 update.zip if you are currently running VC.
