[PB624] Lost boot partition.

eddie.t.h · 02-25-2019, 06:15 PM

Hello!
I accidentally damaged files on the boot partition (I know I'm stupid

). Would anyone be so nice and dropped the contents of this partition somewhere? It is visible when connected to a pc so you do not have to disassemble the reader.
Thank you very much for help.

I'm confused by your description. The partition that is shared over USB is not the boot partition. It can be restored by reinstalling the firmware. If you download and copy the firmware to an SD card and reboot the device with the card inserted, I think it would still detect it and install it.

If you can get into the Maintenance menu, then you can also reformat the internal memory that way, too. That will copy back the necessary files that were deleted.

You're right. I messed up again. I damaged the card when I wanted to backup it so I had it in the sdcard reader. Did I delete the system kernel and a few files. My reader is not even starting now in the recovery mode. I replaced the bImage file with the image 624detectsn.img along with the kernel modules on partition 7 and the reader started, but it works very strangely. It probably has a software screen driver because it very slowly refreshes the screen. The update upload mode also does not work. So it needs original files from the boot partition that contains the linux kernel.

I have a PB624 with a broken display here (sat on it).
If you want the internal flash, I can send the device to you.

Send me a private message if you want it.

Thank you for your offer, but the Russian pocketbook service has made a system image for me.
