13. Optional: Install the other commands in busybox. "adb shell /system/bin/busybox --install -s /system/bin"

That's it. You now have a working su (root), superuser app installed to manage access to su and busybox for those who go through with steps 8-12/13.
Somehow I can't get adb remount (step 8) to run. I assume it has to be in recovery mode and the directory has to be the one that has all the downloaded files in them. However the command seems to do nothing. Any idea what I might be missing here?

In recovery mode I can see the list of options, enabled root su and made a backup with nandroid. So I believe all the earlier steps have been succesful.
