Reading and reading and reading....

I think I need to flash the main partition...it should be mmcblk0p1...If I take a 5.0.0 firmware image, it should also fix the collateral problem I talked about...Am I wrong?

But where can I find the main partition image? I can't see it in debrick post...

Than I should copy mmcblk0p1 to /mnt/us, run in SSH this command:

Code:

dd if=/mnt/us/mmcblk0p1.img of=/dev/mmcblk0p1 bs=4

If it doesn't work, I should run also this:

Code:

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/mmcblk0p3 bs=4K count=1K

to erase /var/local...

Finally I should run the factory_restore script, but where can I find it? And how can I run it?

Thanks to all! I promise I'll write down a noob guide for the future...including also all problems related to using Windows!
