The PR1.1 removed SSH root access, but made 'aegis-developer-mode --relaxed-exec' thing work as it should be from the beginning. I tried to restore the SSH root access by editing /etc/init/ssh.conf which led to a "Device is malfunctioning" state.

Because it took me by surprise and I was unprepared I had no backup at the time. This was the time to try Meego CE to access the files. I actually managed to boot Meego CE kernel and rescue initrd using the files and instructions that you can find here:

Of course after I had access to all partitions I did not backup but instead I tried to hack my way to have root access again. Well aegis was there protecting the device from me being evil and I ended up having to reflash the device...
