Almost.

*) Take a look at my Backup script to confirm that offset (seek) of 65*4096 for the uImage
(the backup script tests the recovered uImage to be certain of both its start and its length)

*) The runme script is a function of the 'main' operating system and here you are replacing the system that is running.

A *nix system allows open files that are in-use to be replaced (hot replacement), but I don't think replacing the entire system while it is running is a "good idea".
That is something which has always been avoided in the series 5.x de-bricking and I feel best sticking with what geekmaster found should be avoided.

Now a runme script that reboots the system into "diags", so that you can replace the "main" system when it is shut down (cold replacement), that is what geekmaster always posted in the past.

(Note: He is in gamma knife surgery this morning, so it is not a good idea to be PM'ing him on this subject now.)

Sorry, I don't have a link to the backup script, but it is in a thread started by myself, that should make it easier to find.
