howto bring a likebook mars t80d back to life under gnu/linux? - solved

Hi there.

I have an "old" likebook mars t80d, and I have the same problem that many people had : one day, after maybe a full discharge of the battery, the e-reader froze on the booting page.

Whatever I try (power, reset, etc.), it still stays with the page :
Code:
likebook
starting up...
But without any dot moving or what, the screen never refresh.

So I tried to bring it back to life.
I did lots of researches but I haven't found any correct solution for GNU/Linux users (and newbe in android's world).

adb didn't respond:
Code:
root@my.computer~# adb devices
List of devices attached

root@my.computer:~#
But I saw that "rkflashtool" could maybe help.
So I've tried to play with rkflashtool:
Code:
root@my.computer:~# rkflashtool p

And, it looks like my computer can say "hello" to Mars!

And I have successfully made a backup image of the "system" partition.

Can I find an image to push into the likebook with rkflashtool, like a
Code:
rkflashtool w system < bring_me_back_to_life_please.img
or any other tricks?

If so, how to do it?

thank you!

N.B.: I don't have windows, neither a facebook account to see what boyue says :/
