I could compile the file!

Can anyone with access to desktop PC and device *not* affected by problem (Mentalist, I'm looking at You, cause others following this thread probably won't dare) flash framebuffer kernel and check which bootstate is used during normal boot?

Ah, I figured it out: To use the libcal library, I needed to add the "-lcal" flag to the gcc command. Also, using '-Wall' was making it not compile because of an implicit mention of ioctl or something like that. Without that it compiled fine. I'm gonna test it as soon as the CSSU and busybox-power are installed on my N900 again.

Just using -lcal flag as you said (compile for armel) is enough...

Also, I THINK pali mentions tw14030 in the post where he posted his original getbootstate open-source backport+clone. Speaking of, I'm about to test pali's open source getbootstate. Wish me luck and such.
What the hell is /dev/tw14030-adc ?!
Coming back to this tho:

1. Be sure that "USER" is our plain, everyday normal bootstate, cause You're obviously now getting "USER" bootstate.

ANYWAY - I've just rebooted my N900 using the open source getbootstate and it WORKED. Now, it worked only ONCE, since I have only rebooted with it once. But it worked, no R&D mode on or anything, no errors thrown out. I call that reason to tentatively get our hopes up.

Rebooted again a second time. Still boots fine - however I noticed that at first it said "Entering state SHUTDOWN" each time at boot. Since my memory sucks I don't quiet remember if this is the same getbootstate behavior as the closed source getbootstate binary gave after a normal shutdown+turn on...Or if this is the same thing that I just said had the 'correct' state of USER just two posts ago (since USER appears in one place for sure during normal boot, and if I recall correctly it shows up where SHUTDOWN is showing up for me now... Except this time I'm really not sure I recall correctly..).
Also, could You re-try all "{cat /sys/class (...)" again? With full battery?
