So how one who have upgrade above the firmware that enabled Red Pill activation can do so? I had big plans getting the N900 but not been able to manipulate it software wise took 90% of the fun out of it, as I already have several mobiles to use as phones this was a special treat to me.

Any one can help and if is no way aorund the new firmware can one tell me what firmware is needed to be installed on my N900 to be able activate Red Pill?

Thank you for reading this Leo.
The requirement that a user enter "Red Pill" mode for the tools needed to manipulate root has sort of been depreciated on the soft/firmware loaded by Nokia to your N900.


Install Rootsh v1.5 found in the repositories that are installed on a stock N900, then call up "sudo gainroot" from the terminal, and rock on.

Have all the fun you want dude...

Don't forget to write.
