Hi there, you could access
http://repository.maemo.org/extras-d...antle/install/
to download "rootsh.install" and install it.
Then you can gain root by "sudo gainroot" command.

Enjoy it.:)

The flashing kb will drive you mad, so if you just want root access try rootsh. Otherwise you need to use the flasher to enable r&d mode, look at the wiki for the relevant commands.

If you're having problems with sudo on the PC, then have a look at http://www.gratisoft.us/sudo/intro.html - if this doesn't help then you'd be better taking the issue to the relevant forums for your OS/Linux distribution, as the necessary installation/configuration commands can differ.

You can edit /sbin/preinit and remove the lines that echo to some file (the name of the file contains "gpio-state", AFAIK) to stop it from turning on the flashing lights on the keyboard in R&D mode.
