Not quite -- I moved becomeroot 0.1 deb to a different folder (obsolete) because there was a new version of becomeroot out there (0.2) that had quite different behaviour, and I wanted to avoid confusion. (I don't think I ever removed a package completely. Maybe once, when the package in question was so broken that it could brick your device.) > Nevertheless, http://mg.pov.lt/770 has kept a folder called "obsolete" with > a package becomeroot in it, but it doesn't work. Please define "doesn't work". I had used it successfully on my 770. Note that becomeroot 0.1 allowed you to do "sudo su" to get a root shell, while becomeroot 0.2 was changed and had you use "sudo gainroot" instead. I don't know what precisely you expected, but if you ever installed becomeroot form my repo, you should be able to "sudo su". > It's great that they help us so much.

There are many ways of getting root that are a bit simpler than that. (Although I would recommend getting a N800 or N810, as the hardware is nicer than the 770.) > I wish I had downloaded and saved the deb packages. Now I'm fucked. > > Fucking thanks. Have a nice day! Marius Gedminas -- Be yourself. Especially, do not feign respect for technical incompetance.
