Re: How to disable root access?
 

You should get the original file somewhere and copy it there. and remove gainroot.old. Unfortunately I have the same situation so I don't know the original file.

You coulld just place empty file as gainroot too.

http://chris.intrepid.cx/N900/gainroot.old

Just scp'd from my phone :)

If you download it, remember to set it chmod 755

You can use it to replace /usr/sbin/gainroot (which appears to be the rootsh version! rootsh package needs some work :)

Before you copy it over, it might be worth pasting a copy of the file into a post here.. someone independent can verify I've not put something malicious in it :)

The md5 hash of the file can be verified using md5sum gainroot.old

use md5sum gainroot.old to check your downloaded file matches this post

Re: How to disable root access?
 

haven't tried but this should work :P

#!/bin/sh -e
trap exit SIGHUP SIGINT SIGTERM
PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin

if [ -x /mnt/initfs/usr/bin/cal-tool ]; then
CALTOOL="/usr/sbin/chroot /mnt/initfs cal-tool"
else
CALTOOL="cal-tool"
fi

MODE=`$CALTOOL --get-rd-mode`
if [ x$MODE = xenabled ]
then
echo "Root shell enabled"
/bin/sh
else
echo "Enable RD mode if you want to break your device"
fi

Re: How to disable root access?
 

ok this worked last week perfectly and rootsh was uninstalled + root access disabled.

today i tried to reinstall rootsh, it installed but sudo gainroot is still asking for a password and just like last time the uninstaller through the app manager failed.

Did you figure out how to disable it? I got it to uninstall the same way you did but I still have root access...
