Well good for you!

Would you mind terribly installing the Rootsh App found here >> http://maemo.org/downloads/product/Maemo5/rootsh/

1. After installation fire up Media Player and then enable the FM transmitter.
2. Minimize Media Player while keeping it running.
3. Open xTerm and type:

Code:
sudo gainroot
and hitting enter.

(If you use the on screen keyboard you may have to reopen the keyboard a second time for it to take ).

4. At the new /home/user # prompt type:

Code:
cat /sys/class/i2c-adapter/i2c-2/2-0063/power_level
...and report back what 3 digit number is returned.

(Do not invoke FM Boost prior to this and again, for some odd reason unrelated to all of this, if you use the on screen keyboard you may have to reopen it to hit enter again after typing a command.)

Also: Where (what region) did your phone come from and is it a sales unit or a Nokia loaner.
