Re: [12-3-09]Android CDMA TouchPro: TEXT and TALK(RAPH800) Ported!!!

if anyone wants to play in the root of their RAPH800, but can't access super user 'su' without the 'u' key, makkonen shared a trick. create a file on your MicroSD labeled anything without a letter 'u' in it, say 'getroot'. in this file, add only the letters 'su'. now when in the Terminal Emulator in Android, you can run the file like this:

$ /bin/sh /sdcard/getroot

you now should see a root # terminal. don't break anything

i like to type without tip-toeing around the missing "u" key, so i telnet in from a networked laptop, phone, or anything posessing a keyboard. enable wifi in Android, and find the IP address as root by running:

# ifconfig

and reading the printout. now run:

# /system/bin/telnetd

then connect from the network with:

# telnet <ip address>

in Linux/Macs, or from putty client in Windows. if it asks connect as 'root' but it may not.
