G2 rooting help, how to chmod?

I ran all the required commands and noticed that the chmod did not do anything. So I decided to run the temp root command abd I get permission denied.

Please anyone? I run this command "adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/*" but it does not do anything, is there something I have to change on that line?
Been trying to root for 2 days now but unsuccessful.
you're not supposed to see any return on the command prompt. Just continue with the procedure.
Thanks for giving me a reply, waited many hours. THANK you though.
When I run the temp root command, I get this.

Have you done this?

[Q] Rooting, pushed file not found?!?

Hey all! Desperately seeking help here: I'm rooting my MyTouch 3g slide, and have successfully completed all the steps up to this point where I need to run "rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin" from the devices "/data/local/tmp/" folder. The previous steps are as follows from cyanogen's wiki page:
"On the computer, open terminal and run the following commands:"
Code:
adb push rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin /data/local/tmp/
adb shell
chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin
/data/local/tmp/rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
All of these with the exception of the last line are successful. After running chmod 755, I typed the following:
Code:
ls -l /data/local/tmp/
I get the following result:
Code:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 5392 Aug 25 2010 rageagainstthecage-arm5
.bin
but finally, entering
Code:
/data/local/tmp/rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin
I get
Code:
/sbin/sh: /data/local/tmp/rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin: not found
It's there. I don't get it. Heeeelllpp meeeeeeee
Here's a log:

My contribution to Bin4ry tool (aka Root MANY ANDROID! post)

Note to moderation team: I wanted to post my contribution directly into the author's thread but I'm not allowed to do so.
If my post is right, maybe you could merge my post with the original discussion.
Hi everyone,
I'd like to to provide my feedback regarding the following tool written by Bin4ry.
Tool is available here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460
First of all, I'd like to thank Bin4ry for his job, because with the help of his tool, I have successfully rooted my noname (*) tablet, running ICS 4.0.4.
However, it did not work out at the very first try: the tool said everything went fine but after reboot, my tablet was still not rooted.
Actually, I entered the guts of Bin4ry's script, and find out this trick.
The original script contains this section:
Code:
:NORMAL
IF %ric% == 1 GOTO RICSTUFF
echo Going to copy files to it's place
stuff\adb.exe shell "/data/local/tmp/busybox mount -o remount,rw /system && /data/local/tmp/busybox mv /data/local/tmp/su /system/xbin/su && /data/local/tmp/busybox mv /data/local/tmp/Superuser.apk /system/app/Superuser.apk && /data/local/tmp/busybox cp /data/local/tmp/busybox /system/xbin/busybox && chown 0.0 /system/xbin/su && chmod 06755 /system/xbin/su && chmod 655 /system/app/Superuser.apk && chmod 755 /system/xbin/busybox && rm /data/local.prop && reboot"
GOTO FINISH
Actually, I think that the command "/data/local/tmp/busybox" is missing at some locations.
So I rewrote the script as follows and got my tablet rooted !!
Code:
:NORMAL
IF %ric% == 1 GOTO RICSTUFF
echo Going to copy files to it's place
stuff\adb.exe shell "/data/local/tmp/busybox mount -o remount,rw /system"
stuff\adb.exe shell "/data/local/tmp/busybox mv /data/local/tmp/su /system/xbin/su"
stuff\adb.exe shell "/data/local/tmp/busybox mv /data/local/tmp/Superuser.apk /system/app/Superuser.apk"
stuff\adb.exe shell "/data/local/tmp/busybox cp /data/local/tmp/busybox /system/xbin/busybox"
stuff\adb.exe shell "/data/local/tmp/busybox chown 0.0 /system/xbin/su"
stuff\adb.exe shell "/data/local/tmp/busybox chmod 06755 /system/xbin/su"
stuff\adb.exe shell "/data/local/tmp/busybox chmod 655 /system/app/Superuser.apk"
stuff\adb.exe shell "/data/local/tmp/busybox chmod 755 /system/xbin/busybox"
stuff\adb.exe shell "/data/local/tmp/busybox rm /data/local.prop"
stuff\adb.exe shell "/data/local/tmp/busybox reboot"
GOTO FINISH
Note: I'm typing from memory because sadly, I erased my own modified file hope I'm not typing too much stupid things because my memory might play me some tricks. But the general idea is here.
Said differently, I simply added the command "busybox" before "chmod" and "chown" commands.
Don't ask me why but it did work. Actually, I discovered this trick by typing the aformentionned commands one a time and find out that simply chmoding a file did not actually change its properties.
I did not rewritte the entire script, but it might be necessary to add the "busybox" command prior to any other "chmod" or "chown" commands (in the ":RICSTUFF" for instance. My tablet did not require to enter this section so I did not bother modify it).
Hope this trick will help someone. If someone finds out it solves its issue, it might be useful to modify Bin4ry's script in a next version of the tool.
(*) more precisely, my tablet is a Finetech by Akor, model TG166.
Want to try to use this method to root Docomo P-02E but something concern.
If rooting is not success, it must be kept unrooted. But will it brick the phone?
Thank you and regards,
