Re: extra .. folder in /dev
I'd imagine that there is a space following the .. in the second entry.
Thus: ".", "..", ".. ", "MAKEDEV", . . .
The simplest way to delete the second .. should be:
rm ..?*
The question mark will expand to whatever character follows the .., and
the * will take care of whatever follows.
Although after being rooted, I'd advise a full reinstall . . .
