Re: [Fun/Learning] Root access on freshly flashed N900 using on-device tools only
 

Nop, rootme does not work as passwd. My problem is that also the apt-get refuse to install packages. I lost the root access but, I would like to restore it without reflash all the devise. In fact, I search an hack to inject the command " initctl start sshd " without having root privilege and after I probably could repair the damage file from sftp. My config is the old 1.2 maemo version with some program like gcc g++ javac tclsh vim alarmed (sort of cron planner) gftp and the standard linux command. My N900 is stable except I can not be root to start sshd and set the clock.

Just download the deb, click on it via file manager and it should install.
Then 'sudo gainroot'

boot rescueos, mount /, chroot and change the root password (or whatever you want) from there

It seems I have lost capabilities for packages installations. The manager launches and crashes...



That's seem to be a nice solution. I will try it !... After having reading the frugal instructions Thk :)

Additionally,
is available, but it says:
A quick search wil tell you how to change that; caveat: you need to be root.

Hi,
I give you the conclusion of my unexpected fail.

That was effectively /etc/sudoers which was corrupted and RescueOs was perfect to fix the problem. Thanks again freemangordon.



But, Flasher3.5 does not work with Windows10 nor WindowsXp into a virtual machin. Luckily, 0xFFFF works very well under a virtual machin where fedora34_x86_64 is installed.

Thank you, folks.
