No, reflash is almost never the solution.

When I look in the code, there is a small chance that just the error message "The new password could not be stored." is wrong and that indeed the new password was stored correctly. Can you confirm the new password is active?

Nevertheless I will fix that the error message could be wrong. So thank you for leading us to that potential problem.

What happens if executing this as normal user in xterm:
Code:
$ sudo /opt/smscon-editor/smsconEditorCreatePass "your_password_here" /opt/smscon-editor/smsconEditorPass

Follow again the steps of #905
You have missed something or typed it wrongly.

Report any errors and output you will see while executing.
best is to copy/paste.

Please, in such cases, we need the precise error messages that were output by the commands. Just "code does not work" is not enough information for us to help you. You're invited to try again .

Did you copy/paste the commands or you typed them yourself?

The sudo-command on your phone seems to be broken. This is probably be the reason for a lot of problems you might have to operate your phone.

To correct this "by hand", you need to become root. I guess you tried gainroot and as this didn't work, you tried to reinstall gainroot with the appmanager and this doesn't work either.

If it happened like this I tend to say you need to get a fresh operating system on your phone ("reflash"). But this SMScon discussion is not the right thread to help you doing this. And in any case its on your own risk.

If you have a backup then you might consider to install it (and I hope this is possible with broken sudo....). I'm sorry.

PS: If you ever managed to become root without reflash, and the /etc/sudoers file is stil empty. Tell me. I can provide you a /etc/sudoers file that could work
