2. Press and hold down the 'u' key
3. Connect a USB cable between the Maemo device and host PC while holding down the 'u' key
4. When the USB cable is connected, it powers the Maemo device and sets it to flashing mode
5. When the USB icon appears in the upper right-hand corner, the Maemo device is in flashing mode
6. Release the 'u' key
7. flasher-3.5 --enable-rd-mode or flasher-3.5 --enable-rd-mode -R
8. Boot normally
9. You'll be able to have root access
10. Revert your sudoers file
11. shutdown device
12. Press and hold down the 'u' key
13. Connect a USB cable between the Maemo device and host PC while holding down the 'u' key
14. When the USB cable is connected, it powers the Maemo device and sets it to flashing mode
15. When the USB icon appears in the upper right-hand corner, the Maemo device is in flashing mode
16. Release the 'u' key
17. flasher-3.5 --disable-rd-mode or flasher-3.5 --disable-rd-mode -R

I've a doubt, when I use flasher to set or unset R&D mode I must to use -R option? Are correct these instructions?

Thanks a lot

the -R will only reboot your n900 so it is not necessary.

after the commands:

flasher-3.5 --disable-rd-mode
the N900 boot automatically?
thanks a lot.

The issue is that leafpad doesn't make any checks on whether the data is correct. visudo (either directly or via update-sudoers) will do that, preventing you from writing an invalid sudoers file and messing up your system.

@facs, that's about it... hope it works out!

As Rob1n said visudo is not required if you know what you are doing. Visudo to be safe

I've launched the command:
flasher-3.5 --enable-rd-mode
I've opened a terminal but I haven't the root access...
Could you help me?
