I knew it was beyond flashing this morning, but just can help myself. Anyhow the N770 is being FedEX to the Florida shop right now. Has any other members got their 2006OS root enable with sudo ./flasher --enable-rd-mode --reboot? Maybe my problem was the fact that I flashed the 2006OS with the window wizard and tried to enable root with vmware + ubuntu later. Hopefully the none beta release will be out by the time I get the device back!
