I know theres a lot of threads with people having problems with deodexing but I almost finished and ran into this problem -

OK, I have a rooted OTA X and began to follow the below instructions -

[HOW-TO] Manually deodex your phone.

Everything was going fine until I went into cmd to run adb -

adb shell
su
stop
mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
cp /sdcard/done_app/* /system/app/
cp /sdcard/done_frame/* /system/framework/
rm /system/app/*.odex
rm /system/framework/*.odex
mount -o ro,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
reboot


After I ran the prompt in green, and then proceeded to run the prompt in red CMD stated "no such file or directory". Now I moved both folders onto the root of my sdcard like the directions stated, and from my PC I can see that they are indeed in the folder. BUT now my phones froze, still plugged into the PC, with debugging on, in Mass Storage mode, adb doesn't recognize the device either - I can't do anything on the phone, no button will "wake" it from this state. I'm afraid to pull the battery or even unplug it from the PC.

Was it the previous command line that did it? the one in green? Please help, I was almost finished and this is my first attempt at this process.

Thank you so much in advance!! I did a Tbackup before I did this, just in case, if that helps. And I can still browse my sdcard via pc connection it that helps too.

EDIT: SORRY, I WAS IN A PANIC AND DIDN'T REALIZE WHICH TOPIC THIS WAS IN AFTER LOGGING IN - PLEASE MOVE, THIS BELONGS IN EVERYTHING ROOT -
 
I wouldn't think the command did it since it didn't successfully complete, so it shouldn't have done anything.

Just pull the battery. The worst that can happen is you have to use the sbf which is a possibility anytime you mod your phone. I personally prefer using deodexed themes or ROMs instead of manually deodexing. It is so much easier IMO.
