Hi

Phone: International Galaxy S i9000
Firmware: 2.1-update 1
Baseband: i9000xxjf3

I rooted the phone using the update.zip available from this xda forum, I can't find the original FAQ thread, but I remember it came with an update.zip for rooting and a seperate update.zip if you wanted to unroot the phone.

After rooting the phone and adding superuser access I then applied the latest version of voodoo lagfix (the version with only the lagfix, not the version that comes with the color fix/brightness fix etc)

Now I got to the point where I wanted to add thai fonts to my phone, so I installed an terminal emulator. The terminal emulator works but It seems like busybox is not installed, when i type "cp" i get "cp not found" error.

If I look in /system/xbin/ directory I have the following files
/system/xbin/busybox
/system/xbin/ipctool
/system/xbin/su

So I assume that busybox should be installed.

I tried to install busybox from the market, but i get the error message about the nand being locked.

What should I do next?

I basically just want to be able to overwrite the ttf font files in system/fonts with some fonts I download over the internet. I want to do this to add thai language support.

Thanks

Have you tried the OCLF v2.1.2 app? It seems to do the rooting and un-rooting and sets up the lag fix (or removes it). All very simple and straight forward. I was impressed.  

Once rooted, couldn't you just use Root Explorer to do what needs doing?

Some root installs put a bunch of links in /system/xbin so you don't have to put "busybox" before the command, but your one didn't. Just put "busybox" before the command to run it, e.g.

 "busybox cp file dest"

I tried "busybox cp file fest" and i didn't get the command not found error, however i did not get any confirmation that anything was happening. I also typed "busybox cp onegojegio" and "busybox orihsdifh" and I didn't get any errors either. I would expect it to say onegojegio - no such file or origsdifh no such command or something like that. So I have a feeling I'm still doing something wrong.

I'll have a go with root explorer as well, but i'm supposed to
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
so I'm not sure if it will work

I'm using this guide
