Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.

~ $ sudo gainroot
Enable RD mode if you want to break your device
~ $
Root Shell won't enable. Can anyone help? All i've done so far is added the repository information into the app manager under new catalogue. I then saved this, my n900 says looking for updates, then shows me the app manager menu. I close this, enter xterminal and type in the 3 commands, all responses are odd. Why am I the only one having this problem? We all have the same device...
You need to download rootsh from the extras-dev repository. Enable this repository at your own risk as all applications are experimental.
Once you have downloaded it the sudo gainroot command will work.
