    Rooted my Milestone, how do i have to use ADB?

    I have rooted my Milestone today after a full month on 2.1

    Now i have a very noobish question, forgive me but this is my first real smartphone with Android OS running on it.

    I want to remove Motonav because it really is a pain in the ass, and i red a lot on different forums of how to delete it, using

    ADB shell
    $ su
    # mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock6 /system
    # rm /system/app/Motonav.apk
    # mount -o ro,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock6 /system

    And that's the part where i get lost :S

    Where and how can i run these commands on my Milestone because that ain't clear to me. How can i start ADB shell, do i have to install something, or can i run it from CMD.exe ?

    Sorry for the stupidity but i'm surfing the web for 2 days and there ain't no forum or tutorial of where and how to run those commands.

    Thank you so much in advance for those who can help me

    btw i already know i have to go in debugging mode on my phone..

    And i need SDK kit but i dont know what, where and how to install the kit


    __________________________________________________ ______________

    Ok i managed to get into CMD and my phone got regonized,

    now i'm typing in the commands

    ADB shell
    $ su
    # mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock6 /system
    # rm /system/app/Motonav.apk
    # mount -o ro,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock6 /system

    I get permission denied on

    # rm /system/app/Motonav.apk

    What am i doing wrong?

    chmod it first to get write permission

    I dont think its necessary to chmod it at all.

    after su, use this command

    cat /proc/mtd

    And see for which mtd system is listed. I believe its different for south american phones.

    And use that mtd to mount.

    if that doesnt work, try this

    mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock6 /system

    All I've done is rearranged a little bit.

    "mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock6 /system" works for me.
