# ryan:
# I modified the original script as below for use with my rooted Atrix phone.
# I'm using a retail build that still thinks it's a production device.
# The best way to state this is that ro.secure=1 in default.prop, but su
# executes under a shell on the device and yields root permissions
#
# Another oddity that I encountered is that mv can fail giving
# errors citing cross-device linkage:
#     It seems that this error is given because mv tries
#     to move the hard link to the data, but fails because
#     in this case, the src and dest filesystems aren't the same.
#
# Symptoms of this state are that the following adb commands fail (not an ordered list, but executing any atomically):
#   adb remount
#   adb ls /data/app/
#   adb root
# but executing this works fine:
#   adb shell
#   $ su
#   $ ls /data/app/
#
# Gnurou:
# Another issue is that some devices come with most basic commands like mount
# removed, which requires us to use BB to remount /system read-write. This is
# why we first upload BB to a temporary, executable location before moving it
# to /system/bin
