After removing libmissioncontrol the N800 became very unstable....

now when i try to write in xterm "sudo su -" appear "Sorry, user user is not allowed to execute '/bin/su -' as root on Nokia-N800-39."
o_O coooool
everything I try to to is a "permission denied" (cat: /etc/sudoers: Permission denied)

I rember that I did from my pc via ssh (after logging in as root/rootme) "passwd -l root"....

I'm really stuck!!!

P.s. i cannot reboot to reach the bootmenu I can only poweroff with the power button!!!!
and "apt-get update" gives to me:
E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/apt/lists/lock - open (13 Permission denied)
E: Unable to lock the list directory

help

I thougth to reflash my N800 but when I connect the usb cable to my pc the boot menu (magically for me) appears and I cannot use the nokia wizard application to reload the latest firmware.
Now I'm using my IT booting from the mmc2.

1) Is there a way to restore the corrupted/missing file from mmc2 to flash?
2) It's a good procedure disable the bootmenu so I can reload the firmware?

Have you held down the Home key while powering on the device?

mounting steps are described in

There is no need to disable it. It gets overwritten with full firmware flash. It is quite harmless so you can also keep it and just reflash rootfs (with linux flasher).

I cannot mount the mmcblk0p2 partition...I need to be root and I cannot do sudo or su ("user user is not allowed to execute '/bin mount /dev/mmcblk0p2 /opt' as root on Nokia.....
