If you can access it as a USB drive, add ENABLE_DIAGS, and the data.tar.gz file from the "SelectBoot" thread, and your RUNME.sh, and delete any RUNME.done, then reboot.

If you boot to diags, you can export the USB drive from a menu item and access it as a USB drive from a host PC.

If it runs, there will be a new RUNME.done file. There is a sample RUNME.done in the "SelectBoot" thread that displays stuff on the eInk display so you know immediately if it ran.

You can also run it with no ENABLE_DIAGS file, in which case it boots to main before running, instead of diags.

Or instead of using a RUNME.sh script, you can use fastboot to flash a diags partition that enables SSH, then mount the main partition and repair it from an SSH shell from the diags menu.

When restoring partitions to a /dev/mmc* device, you should always boot from the OTHER partition. Do no write to the raw device that you booted from.

At this time, this is probably the easier and simplest method:
