Sorry, but I don't know of an image suitable for the Aura. The images you see for the other devices were created by someone opening the device, taking the internal SD card out and making an image from that. As this can't be done for the Aura, no image has been made.

As you do have access to the console when booted from the external card, do you have access to the internal memory? If so, you might be able to write the uboot and uimage files to it. These are in the firmware packages. Or, if it is accessible, there are copies in the recoveryfs partition. These might be better to use as they are the original versions used when the device was first created.

The image commands to use are in "etc/init.d/upgrade-generic.sh". During a firmware upgrade, this is called by "etc/init.d/upgrade-wifi.sh" which is what determines the names of the image files to use. There are equivalents to these in the recoveryfs. They are probably the same name, but I don't have the files with me to check.
