Thank you very much for the quick response.Though I'm not sure I fully understand it.

cat /mnt/mmc/etc/shadow
The first two things about data.tar.gz and ENABLE_DIAGS seem to be the same things described in the K5 Wiki for jailbreaking. But it doesn't mention anything about RUNME.SH. Do I really need it?
If so, what exactly do I have to do with the code in green? I got the RUNME.sh.txt file from ixtab original post. Do I need to replace the whole content with the green code, or only add it at the end?

There are other (unpublished) methods that work from diags as well, and you can always do the "simple debricking" method to install a pre-hacked partition image. So we have plenty of jailbreak (and debricking) options for the future. You do not need to worry about creating a "permanent" brick as long as simple debricking is available (in the sticky thread).
Well, that sounds reassuring. So there are already ways to jailbreak when the DIAGS method will not work anymore.
