Kobo Nia scard image request

underratedwriter · 03-22-2021, 08:38 PM

Hi all,

I accidentally corrupted the sdcard on my Kobo Nia. Unfortunately I don't have a full backup. I tried reconstructing the partitions with the correct offsets and a copy of the recovery partition I still had but it doesn't restore.

Would anyone be willing to share a copy of the rootfs and recovery partitions?
(I noted my Serial Number and I can hex edit it back in to location 0x200.)

I would really appreciate any help.

Update: I managed to fix this.

I copied the first 24MB of the original SD Card to a new one (excluding the MBR info before 0x200). I then found the zImage and uBoot offsets and rewrote them using the images in the latest update zip. This allowed me to use the new SD Card.

Mods: Please delete this thread if you wish.
