Remarkable won't boot #7

Closed muke101 closed 3 years ago

Hi, I hope this isn't an inappropriate place to post this, if so I'd appreciate being pointed into the right direction.

I tried to compile and install a new kernel for my remarkable 1 tablet. It's the same version with the same def config, just with a couple things changed. I did this over the serial console by replacing the zImage and .dtb files in /boot, while saving the original in /home. The remarkable failed to boot, so I suppose I misconfigured my kernel somehow, but now after accessing the remarkable again and replacing the old files in /boot, it still refuses to boot. Here's the current state of the /boot directory mounted on /dev/mmcblk1p2:

I'm almost certain these are all the original files the remarkable came with. What are my options here? Can I completely reflash the system somehow? I tried running the reflash.uuu file but this doesn't appear to change anything. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

partition 3 is untouched, I've only been modifying 2. They seem to have the same content, would you suggest copying over the boot partition from 3 to 2?

ddvk commented 3 years ago

i'm not sure the reflash.uuu was finished.

try ./uuu upgrade.uuu this will overwrite both root partitions

also you my find more that can help on the discord chanel

muke101 commented 3 years ago

upgrade.uuu has fixed it, thank you. It would be helpful if this were documented in the repo!

Could you also please share the discord server? I'm sure I would find this helpful.

The subsection says 'to be documented' so I wasn't certain what it would do, and didn't want to run it without knowing.

The title is fairly clear about what it does though. That said, that's a good point. There is a bunch of extra documentation that should really be added at some point.
