Thanks! I didn't try the jailbreak with the 6.10, it likely won't work, so reverted to 6.8 for now to have working SSH access with your instructions for changing /dev/ptmx permissions to get working TTY.

On my FW /usr/dev is actually a tar archive (/usr/dev.tar). So you need to unpack it, change the permissions of the ptmx file to 666 and pack it back for the changes to persist after the reboot.

I also forgot to remove debug logging from ssh/sshd_config in the shared zip. You may want to remove this line: "LogLevel DEBUG".
