Re: [N800] Problem with root

Umm, seems like there is a lot of confusion here. What I understood is that something broke and you have that permission problem with system in internal flash and you can boot from mmc which is still OK, right?

If this is true, than you can boot from mmc, mount internal flash and copy /etc/sudoers or whatever to internal flash, unmount it and try to boot from internal flash again. Something like

1. boot from mmc, open xterm, sudo gainroot
2.

Code:

mount -t jffs2 /dev/mtdblock4 /opt

cp -a /etc/sudoers /opt/etc/

umount /opt

3. reboot and boot from internal flash
