Never installed USBNetworking or kTerm or rescue Pack or cowards pack
Sounds like i should use one of those packages to be able to run the CMDline... Whats recommended? USBNetworking seems to have a lot of praise... |
Well, you need a working MrPI to install them, which is what we are trying to fix.
Your only choice then is to enter the two commands from the serial port.
But you only need the serial port long enough to enter those two commands.
So you can use one of the 'no hot solder' ways to attach to the serial port pads.
The "serial port jailbreaking" thread was recently bump'd.
Here it is:

There are a few others, but that is one of the better ones.
Since your device is not really bricked, it is running normally, you only need the directions for getting the serial port working (probably only the first three parts - it has been a long time since I read it).
Edit:
You will need to go a little bit further in the directions (still going by memory) -
Get the serial port connection working -
Follow the directions to boot the other (diags) operating system -
Then the directions to change the "main" system root password to blank -
At which point you can re-boot to the "main" system -
When it comes back up, just sign in as user: root, password: (just enter return).
Then do the two command line commands given above and it will be fixed.

And just a note -
I get upset when people do not follow directions:
