I have got the device into uboot prompt on termite no probs. but run boot_user does not trigger the force update.
lt looks like I am missing folders from sys like fb02 (hence the e-ink issue) and also running fsck from the adb is telling me that /etc/fstab does not exists? |

On the other hand, from the logs, it's unclear whether the filesystem on the sd card or the filesystem on the device is actually the one that is corrupted. Have you formatted your SD card, dropped the update.zip on again, and tried that yet? |

That probably isn't going to work. The sys filesystem is created by the drivers that are loaded.

sys can not be accessed. I can browse but not pull even when is rw as attributes.
i can not run start_epd.sh under adb. all fb02 folder is missing, and the serial from properties under sys/class/graphics is missing. see sh start_epd.sh results under adb # sh start_epd.sh sh start_epd.sh start_epd.sh: /system/esi/bin/init_wacdsu: permission denied start_epd.sh: /system/esi/bin/busybox: not found start_epd.sh: /system/esi/bin/busybox: not found start_epd.sh: /system/esi/bin/busybox: not found start_epd.sh: /system/esi/bin/busybox: not found start_epd.sh: /system/esi/bin/busybox: not found start_epd.sh: /system/esi/bin/busybox: not found # Last edited by vicinc; 10-16-2011 at 11:13 PM. |

Maybe. It would need to be cross-compiled. You've reached the limits of my ideas on your problem. I'm pretty surprised honestly that flashing via serial doesn't work, even with a corrupted filesystem, it should just be able to write over it with the new image.

hope you manage to get CWM working nikkie. than hope we can write any rom. it is strange they are checking the serial for rom write.

tekknogenius, while you have your PE open could you please measure the battery for me, width, height and thickness - we might have a source of replacements if they fit.

ok. more digging here. Looks like my ubifs partition is badly "injured" (which according to ubifs zealots is impossible).
it looks like is recovery is trying to read something (i think the device serial - as I think is inserted later during update) [ 16.404747] EXT2-fs (ram0): error: ext2_check_page: bad entry in directory #4136: : directory entry across blocks - offset=1024, inode=1073783265, rec_len=41760, name_len=131 [ 16.420664] EXT2-fs (ram0): error: ext2_check_page: bad entry in directory #4218: : rec_len is smaller than minimal - offset=0, inode=0, rec_len=0, name_len=0 [ 16.434924] Kernel panic - not syncing: No init found. Try passing init= option to kernel. See Linux Documentation/init.txt for guidance. [ 16.447391] Rebooting in 1 seconds.. and than fails and reboots. looks like the menu / rotate buttons are working, but the recovery is crippled not to proceed if the serial on sys/class/graphics/fb2 properties is missing. anybody has an idea about a modified update.zip that does not check this? |
