How to get root privileges in Qonsole program?

[Aleksei]

Any ideas?

I've made a modified rootfs that replaces almost everything possible with busybox, and includes su. I can use su to get root in Qonsole, but PST does not seem to work with this firmware - whether because of the USB plug handling changes or the busybox replacements, I am not sure. I'll make it public once I have something that does everything the stock firmware does (heh, and of course all of the stuff I want).

FWIW, I have Qonsole but don't use it much at all. The phone is set up to stay in USBNet mode, and I don't do any hacking on it that requires shell access unless I'm at home.

Qconsole get root account from its startup.

No, when launched from the program launcher, Qonsole runs as ezx, not root. Try running "id" in console, you'll see.

Write a little program that calls its first argument, call it mysudo and give it suid 0.

`mysudo bash`

If you're not familiar with UID and EUID read man(2) getuid

Code stolen from qonsole neo version (main.lin).

#! /bin/sh

if [ "$(id -u)" != "0" -a -z "$1" ]; then
  exec /sbin/start-stop-daemon -S -c root:root -x "$0" -- restart
  exit 1
fi

export QTDIR="./qt"
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="./lib:./qt/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH"
export PS1="# "
export SHELL="/bin/bash"

if [ ! -x ./qonsole ]; then
  chmod +x ./qonsole
fi
exec ./qonsole
exit 1

If you run applications coded with sam7r ezx sdk with the above code, some icons will be missing (the X on the bottom right, for example). You also need to

export EZX_RES_ICON_PATH=/usr/language/icon

Here's the script I use:

#!/bin/bash

#path to this script
OWNAPP=/ezxlocal/usr/bin/sublue.sh

#path to application that should run with root priviledges
APP=/ezxlocal/usr/bin/blue

if [ "$(id -u)" != "0" -a -z "$1" ]; then
  exec /sbin/start-stop-daemon -S -c root:root -x $OWNAPP -- restart
  exit 1
fi

export QTDIR=/usr/lib/ezx
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/ezx/lib:/usr/language/vr/english/lib:/usr/language/vr/mandarin/lib:/usr/language/vr/common/lib
export EZX_RES_FONT_PATH=/usr/lib/ezx/lib/fonts
export EZX_RES_ICON_PATH=/usr/language/icon

if [ ! -x $APP ]; then
  chmod +x $APP
fi

exec $APP
exit 1

Sorry. I use the NEO version so it got the root login as default.
