Mil, cannot hide things from the master! I suspect the becomeroot installation is not right. I looked up "Details", the becomeroot is made for 770. So I uninstalled it, and try to find one for the N800, no luck. I still have problem in gainroot now. It works most of the time, but not all the time(?). sometime, it said command not find, and I retyped it, and it then worked. Anyhow, I have problem with your magic script... pls go to your thread clone OS, ...a simplified.." I stucked at step 7. Thanks Mil.
