Hi Al, I tried following the Gainroot HOTO on the Maemo WiKi - and succeeded to gain root access. I edited the Gainroot script like so: #!/bin/sh -e trap exit SIGHUP SIGINT SIGTERM PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin #MODE=`/usr/sbin/chroot /mnt/initfs cal-tool --get-rd-mode` #if [ x$MODE = xenabled ] #then # echo "Root shell enabled" # /bin/sh #else # echo "Enable RD mode if you want to break your device" #fi and copied it back, thinking now all I need is to run sudo gainroot to become root... (as I done the first time. Then I turned of the device and since then I cannot gainroot. It just gives me a newline with the $ (regular user). I tried the procedure a few times - same. Any idea how I can gainroot again? I want to run the solution without the editor. Do I have to re-install the software (update)? Thanks! -- :====================================================:.
