CR48-rooting

=Rooting the CR48=


 * You need to be somewhat versed in Linux for any of these mods.

Rooted!
 * 1) Turn off the Cr-48. Make sure you have a pen nearby or this is going to be difficult.
 * 2) Flip the Cr-48 over.
 * 3) Remove the battery.
 * 4) Right beside the battery contacts there is a small bit of black tape. Take the tape off.
 * 5) There is a white switch under the tape. For user mode, the switch is away from the battery contacts. Use your pen to switch it towards the contacts.
 * 6) Put the battery back in and start the machine. There’s an ominous message but you can hit CTRL+D to get past it. If you do nothing the device will eventually beep and start the process into developer mode.
 * 7) The C-48 will wipe itself and replace the image with a developer copy. This takes 5-6 minutes.
 * 8) You’ll need to go though the initial setup process again.
 * 9) Once you get logged in, you can hit CTRL+ALT+T to get to the terminal.
 * 10) While you can get to this shell in user mode, this terminal offers an extra command to use. To see all commands type “help”.
 * 11) Type “shell” to drop to a full bash shell. You’ll be the special user named chronos.
 * 12) Type “sudo su”

Back to CR48 Home
 * Now that you've rooted, you also need to make the root partition writable, and turn off boot verification.
 * Then:
 * Open a shell (CTRL-ALT-T, then type shell)
 * If you don't want to remount the stateful partition after each boot, you can follow Make the /mnt/stateful partition exec friendly
