So yes, what I had done wrong was copy the contents wrong. Double check your files with the 'vi' editor to make sure, it is possible you copied stuff wrong too. All the commands mentioned here are incorrect as far as what I tried. there is no mv -R in the system so when you just do mv usr/ / it say's "Can't remove 'usr/': It is a directory, as it should. So the next thing I tried is cp -R which indeed worked.

Copy the usr directory into your base root via PC. This will be /home/user/MyDocs on the phone system. From terminal:

gain devel-su
cd /home/user/MyDocs
cp -R usr/ /
them rm -rf usr (!! MAKE SURE YOU ARE IN /home/user/MyDocs when you do this, not to delete you /usr. Double check your current path location by 'pwd' !!) to delete the now duplicate files which you initially transferred.
I used cp -R usr/ /
exactly as you did
I don't see the need for rm -rf usr, people can manually remove the usr folder from mydocs.... it just seems like a risky move...
