Help Unbricking PE - Page 8

I'd be willing to give it a shot, but we don't really have a recovery mode to work with. We'd need a piece of software that made an *.img file without booting into recovery.

I rushed my prev post in. yaffs expert from the market is able to create images of every mtd partition on your device. just install it from the market and do each partition one by one (under backup) appart from larger data partition 2.5 gb, please save them with the name of each mount. if you have ermine, will let me do it one by one, i hope I will recover my menu . rotate update. many thanks. I can use same program to restore or the flash_image from adb shell.

just checked. my pocket edge is showing under edge preferences: serial number: bad serial. SKU bad sku. CMS key not initialised. I think this is the cause of not updating. if the serial is checked or the sku during the rotate /menu boot up? does anybody know how to write those and where could I find a good serial and sku (not that matter now that the entourage is gone?)

I think I am doing a progress on my own educating in android fs and others. identified the partitions and content, I may have a recovery boot soon, of course if community is interested.

I've been monitoring your progress and it looks good. I'm sure everyone else will be interested to see what you can come up with.

I finally got the ermine update to my edge. It stopped at the 4 dots and the ereader side saying initialize. I couldn't turn it off and was starting to panic. Decided to go for broke and just pushed the reset button. It turned off, I removed the flash drive and restarted it. It booted up, the ermine was installed and my couple of apps were still there!! Yippee!! Hope this helps.

I had a problem with my PE. Every app gave an error that said {stopped unexpectedly force close}blah blah. So I side transfered the Edge folder to my PC. then I switched my the storage from Internal storage to SDCard after reading through many forum posts. Then I did a factory restore. It booted up fine just like the day I bought it. All I am interested in is restoring the data to the calendar. I thought that if I did a restore library from the stored .esi file I would be in good shape but it didn't work. How do I or can I get my calendar data back.

Welcome to MobileRead, tommyvan! . . . Although it seems you've been lurking for a while!

Your calendar question is a tough one. I don't have an answer (sorry

), but if no-one responds you might start a new thread asking about restoring the calendar. There are enough threads/posts here now that your request might otherwise get lost.

I really hope there is a way for you to get your data back!
