Update 5

Here's what I did after logging in:

mount /dev/mmcblk0p1 /mnt/mmc
cd /mnt/mmc

echo 'raz572::0:0:raz572:/tmp/root:/bin/sh' >>etc/passwd
echo 'raz572:*:15826:0:99999:7:::' >>etc/shadow
echo 'raz572:*:15826:0:99999:7:::' >>etc/shadow-

cat etc/passwd
cat etc/shadow
cat etc/shadow-

Then, I restarted (power button on the bottom). Once booting finished, I did a whoami. It shows me as root. I did an 'exit' and logged in as raz572. I'm root again, in standard mode.

Success! It looks like I'm root in standard mode, so I think we're good to go for jailbreaking.
