1.04 sd recovery
Hi folks,
I modified porkupan's old sd recovery package such that it restores to stock firmware 1.04.
IT IS NOT APPLICABLE FOR ANY OTHER FIRMWARE VERSION AS THE KERNEL IS ASSUMED TO BE 1.04 COMPATIBLE
Kernel / initial ramdisk / boot area / recovery kernel / root fs are untouched by this package!
BE SURE TO BACKUP YOUR FILES ON THE READER!
The package does
1.)
format reader partition (=internal sd card, mmcblk2p4)
2.) format data partition mmcblk2p9 such that it get's re-initialized on next boot
3.) restore 1.04 system partition on mmcblk2p10 with stock files, but reformated file system to have more inodes which is handy for rooting the device later on (busybox creates lots of symlinks which consume an inode each)
To apply the rescue package you need to unzip the file to the root of a micro sd card and follow the steps in the wiki.
1.) Charge battery to 100% or you may brick your reader on power failure!!!
2.) Power off the reader (keep power pressed until it asks to shutdown and press yes) if reader is frozen, press RESET button to power it off.
3.) Press HOME and MENU simultaneously, keep it pressed while powering on the reader and wait until the progress bar has reached 100%
4.) Now you can release HOME and MENU (this is crucial, don't release earlier!)
5.) Now it will take up to 20min for the rescue process to finish
6.) Reader should reboot automatically, if not - assure that the LED for the micro sd slot does not blink anymore and press RESET and power on the reader
7.) Reader should now ask for initial settings. Also there should be a file on the internal sd named diag.log, that tells if rescue did complete.
