Warning: There have been reports of display failures (white with dim vertical stripes) after disabling rd mode and rebooting a new 770. If you get this, there is a hardware failure in your device and you need to return it and get a replacement -- VilleRanki That failure is probably not related to any software-actions. Displays like the one of the 770 tend to break at powerup. But if yours survived the first 5 or 10 times, it should survive the rest, too. -- BooIiing Mine got the failure after charging the battery overnightIt seems that the device is working properly except for the screen, which looks vertically blurred, so I could extract my data from the MMCs via USB prior to before the device to my local dealer, where I got a new one. -- Aswarp 060415

After 24 hours or so of trying to gain root with a flasher i came across this alternative method.!
Now, for the future, unless you want to keep SSH-ing from another machine, a clever move is to add "user" to sudoers: echo "user ALL = PASSWD: /bin/su" >> /etc/sudoers!
6. Now you can gain root on the 770 using xterm by entering sudo su -
7. Xterm asks for a password, enter the password you created for the user account.!
all this just to change an icon sheeeeeeeesh!

Tried to install mameo download on OS 2005 and Nokia 770 stated it could not install as it was already a built in component?
Another thing can this method be run from windows XP cmd line and if so how, as root@.... is not a standard recognised command etc?
Directions are here to gain root without a flasher: http://maemo.org/maemowiki/HowDoiBecomeRoot2
1. Install DropBear SSH Server on the 770 http://matt.ucc.asn.au/dropbear/dropbear.html
2. Connect the 770 to your wireless lan.
3. From your home computer open a terminal and type root@00.00.00.00 <the ip adress of the 770.
4. It will ask for a password put in rootme .
At this point you should have gained root access to your device. Now, for the future, unless you want to keep SSH-ing from another machine, a clever move is to add "user" to sudoers: echo "user ALL = PASSWD: /bin/su" >> /etc/sudoers
The user account on the 770 doesnt have a password by default so add one.
5. Type in passwd user then type in a password you want to use between 3 and 8 leters or numbers.
6. Now you can gain root on the 770 using xterm by entering sudo su -
7. Xterm asks for a password, enter the password you created for the user account.
All this just to change an icon sheeeeeeeesh!
Sorry I didn't give a description of my system. I'm running 2006.
