On your computer (terminal code below for linux/mac)

flasher-3.5 --disable-rd-mode

Re: R&D mode? wont go away :/
 

in the cmd or in the sudo terminal on my n900 ?

Not on your n900 but on the computer used to reflash the device.

Care to share more details? That way someone else having the same issue could perhaps learn something from this thread.

but now ive got another error...

Re: R&D mode? wont go away :/
 

Thanks for posting more details. For best results in this (or any) technical forum, please post what you typed into the cmd/shell/whaetver as well as the full output. Just saying "it didn't work" means that all we know is that it didn't work. With extra detail we can probably explain to you what's going on and help you fix it.

Also, what do you mean: I went to the flasher? Do you mean you changed directory (using cd) in the cmd prompt, or something else?

Thanks.

alright..

- well i got that RD mode. - flashed it = RD mode was still there.

Posted here on the forum.

- tried To open CMD
I'd type: cd \program files\maemo\flasher-3.5 (enter)
flasher-3.5.exe --enable-rd-mode (enter)


(but, got a message - that it couldnt find a suitable device.)

- so i Tried to open the: Flasher-3.5.exe (commander)
in the " \program files\maemo" folder

Typed the same thing as i did in the "CMD"

= RD mode - got away

But when i tried to use Xterm. on my n900

that gave me this message:

Enable RD mode if you want to break your device


So now im like confused - please help me ?

install rootsh or sudoer if you want to use root on x-term....

as for disabling the R&D mode if you using windows 7 just go to

program files/maemo/maemo flasher 3.5 & click on..

no need to open cmd cause you can go straight to flashing your device after you click on it....

if you want to disable the R&D mode just type

press enter then connect your device with hardware keyboard open & pressing the 'u' button until flasher show you have successfully disable R&D mode...

Re: R&D mode? wont go away :/

Enabled the RD mode

and i did boot up my phone

And i turned it off after boot up.

Re: R&D mode? wont go away :/

Helped alot!.

You are trying to use SUDO in xTerm (on N900)?

Open your application manager and install ROOTSH.

No need for RD anymore.
