Hi mamaich,

great tool this "get_root".

Now finally i am able to open my reader's directories even in (Windows-)Explorer.
It's very easy now to put groups of files to or from the 903 - without even connecting USB -cable. And I can continue reading a book while files are transferred.
For programming with the SDK it is really usefull, that i do not need to plug in and plug out USB-cable for each try out of a modifikation.

And the telnet-connection with a better busybox is as well a great thing.

Thanks so much!

Edit:

After updating firmware to 2.1.1 "get_root.app" does not work any more! Seems PB have closed the "hole", so exploit is no longer possible.

What a pity!

I do not need root access. But accessing File-System by ftp and accessing command line by telnet was really great.
