When I try to run the "sudo root ./flasher" command, I am prompted for a password and I enter "ubuntu". Then I get a "sudo: root: command not found" message. If I type "./flasher --enable-rd-mode --reboot" without the "sudo root" prefix, it appears to run but it just waits for a valid USB device.

Biomech, I got exactly the same problems you had. You have to become super user in Ubuntu, you are doing this by using the command sudo -s -H then you can run the command ./flasher --enable-rd-mode --reboot
Now you're N770 is rebooting and you can proceed with the wiki tutorial. I did not see any green text during the boot, but I did see an extra icon under the Nokia logo.
Disregard my post about experiencing unzip problems. I downloaded a free 30-day evaluation version of pkzip for Linux and all went well. Ubuntu-5.10 loaded into VMWareplay with no problems.
I used the Root enabled Patch to the Nokia update Software by Kreature. But I still dont know how to become root. I have Vim and Xterm installed as well. Please tell me how to do this.
