@ruuko: just type: “sudo su”. it’s shorter and gives you the same effect.

After I opened X Terminal and typed “sudo gainroot”, I got this message:

‘Enable RD mode if you want to break your device’. Any help? :S

Hi there.

One solution maybe to follow this tutorial: http://mynokiablog.com/2010/01/03/how-to-hard-reset-nokia-n900. This will also stop you from ever needing to install rootsh if you reset/reinstall firmware on your N900.

The link has been updated and will bring back the N900 as to how it was when you first bought it. Also, if you make a backup, it will bring back all your settings/widgets/contacts so it’s like nothing happened to it.

You can manually choose which apps to reinstall too.

Just make sure you backup onto a memory card and not the Mass Memory as that will get wiped.

Good luck.
