When i mount four partition, in 2 and 3 , i can't find /root/.config/remarkable/xochitl.conf What is this command : grep Developer /root/.config/remarkable/xochitl.conf What is the next step for unbrick my tablet ?

partition 2 and 3 are the root partitions, you'll want to check partition 4.

Thx ! I'm so stupid !

You'll probably want to not post your password here, it's the DeveloperPassword item.

Ok, i mask it ! Thx for this information. Do you know what i can try now ? Thx.

[Eeems]

Masking it wont work due to being able to look at the comment history. You might just want to delete the comment.

Did you have your ssh password before? If no, try rebooting it and signing in with that password. Otherwise you might want to try to look at the logs to see what is broken.

[Nicols07]

Tablet is brick on remarkable is starting log.txt

[Eeems]

Looks like the last log line is from September 18th, when was the last time you tried to start normally? You'll likely need to look into the systemd-journald logs.

[Nicols07]

i search if a file (log, ..) was modified since 2022 but nothing :( I never see this tablet start normally.... Does it possible to restore partition or backup manually ?

[Eeems]

The systemd-journald logs are not part of that file, they are binary files and would require using journalctl to view them.

If you want to flash one of the root partitions with an update file that would be possible. I haven't done it before though, and I don't have a rM2 so I can't walk you through it.

[ddvk]

you could extract an official update image (https://github.com/ddvk/remarkable-update/tree/main/extractor) and dd it to partitions 2 and 3. also there was a way to get a console via one of the pogo pins iirc
