I guess you haven't looked up the translation of the word:
all yet.
ALL means: all, as in
everything.
Including the information stored outside of the partitioned area of the eMMC storage and the bootstrap application.
The Amazon Update packages do not include the information outside of the partitioned area, with a few exceptions.
= = = =
Note: there is one, possibly two exceptions to the above statement, depending on the firmware version of the "Erase All" command.
1) U-Boot, that is re-written to the flash from the copy running in RAM.
2) The device serial number and board ID is also re-written to the flash by
only some versions of the firmware.
= = = =
First off, tell us about the update package you are trying to take apart - -
Where did you get the update image file of 5.6.1.1
for the PW-3?
Amazon does not post an update package of the initial firmware a device ships with.
They do post update packages of 5.6.1.1 for
other device models.
Leaving the eMMC blank would be a better choice than using an image file for the wrong device.
= = = =
O.T:
Where in the directions does it say to erase the root password?
The directions do say to erase a single character from the root entry in the password file, and gives before and after pictures of that process.
