DR800 trickd - fullscreen & pageflow with proper UI - Page 2

Maybe using the update folder you might be able to script a fdisk and reinstall of the OS.

The iRex guys are probably the only ones that can tell you.

At the moment it doesn't got past initial splashscreen (bubbles and guy reading a book), no progress indicator... so I don't really have a chance to check *anything*.

Hmm getting to the flash is the problem, you said you got dmesg so you must have/had a term or usbnet running, did you try a fsck at any point (not sure about flash drives) as I doubt a ramdisk is being used.

I would try a number of resets to see if you can get back in. Its a bit of a bummer alright.

As for dmesg: I ran rxvt once the device was working, and dumped the results to the file

If I get it up again (playing reboot game right now), I'll see whether there are mtd-related binaries on the device...

Given Irex Technologies current state, I think I'm hosed. Luckily there are no new versions of the firmware, so there should be no changes needed :P

For anyone concerned about his reader: no, usage of trickd and death of my reader are *probably* not connected. It looks like flash memory storing kernel developed bad blocks, and it stopped booting. However, if you want to be 100% sure, don't use trickd.

I'm so sorry to read this.
Maybe you could open the device extract the flash card and check it on a computer.
Best luck!

Hmm, you expect it's a separate card? It's NAND flash, so I'd expect it to be just a couple of ICs soldered on the board. This way or another, I'll wait a bit - perhaps Irex Tech. will recover, and will be able to help me out here.

To hijack this thread a bit; has anyone been disassembling his/her dr800? I'll eventually do it, but perhaps anyone can offer some useful insight before I assault my device with a pointy stick?

I'm approaching this state

1-2 weeks more and I'll reach the point of condensation.

Hi everybody...i was wondering, now that we have continuous reading of .pdf files, if there isn't a way to "fit to screen" eliminating .pdf margins.
I believe DR1000 has this functionality.
Is there software that allows to trim .pdf margins of a book to read it in a small screen like the DR800.
Thanks in advance.

yacoob · 10-03-2010, 04:04 PM

...and to close down this thing here: given that I've just bought Sony PRS-650, I doubt I'll be doing anything to trickd or flowmytears. For anyone fancy poking at it, the sources are publicly available at:

(oh, and if you need a broken DR800SG, head here)
