First stop... Getting root access..
Remember that "sudo" password does not work so you will have to break it.. here is how in simple steps

   2. Tap the menu -> Tools -> Application catalog…
   3. Double-tap maemo Extras.
   4. Uncheck Disabled.
2. Now install this Rootsh on your device.
3. Open xTerminals on your device and run this command sudo gainroot
4. Now you are able to access the root of your device.
