With K3 when you used option 3, you got all partitions mounted via usb - e.g. sdb1,sdb2,sdb3,sdb4. But it does not work here I will have to look into kernel code.

What was in the image that you tried to restore with uboot?
It is partitioned now, at least I think so. I tried to flash system, diags and data partitions with no luck. I'm trying to flash raw image. That's all I have.
And I'm doing that via fastboot - in uboot select bist and then fastboot. It will activate USB communication and then via USB with yifanlu's fastboot tool.
Sample from uboot view:
Code:
bist > fastboot
Entering fastboot mode...
USB speed: HIGH
Connected to USB host!
Charger disconnect
USB speed: HIGH
Connected to USB host!
USB configured.
downloading
..done
flashing diags to MMC0, partition 0
..done.
It always says partition 0, no matter which partition I write.

I don't know how to export data via uboot. Not even fastboot allows that.
I have K3, but would that help for KT?
