Scroll Extreme - Extremely Broken

[BuddyMatt]

yeah, the history of the issue goes something like this:

Fiddling with tablet all day Sunday - during this time I had it running linux, moutning swap files, and installed busybox. I also mounted my /system partition as writeable...
On way home it ran out of power.
Rebooted - and as you've just said, it was like it had been reset... Any one of the baove things may have caused this obviously.

that night i replaced boot.img which is what stopped it booting totally.

so, through the course of this thread i manged to restore the orignal boot.img, and got it back to the point where I was sunday after i booted it up after getting home. The onyl difference from that point is that i'd wiped /data and /cache in the recovery facility.

All make sense?

from what i've looked into, it would appear the issue with the missing apps/"resetted" is that /data and /cache aren't mounted

my best guess is that i've somehow deleted a folder in /system/etc called init.d which would have mounted these - although that's definitely more of a guess than any real knowledge. I don't suppose, once you've got your yarvik back to it's normal self, if you could check and see if such a folder exists on it and pull the contents and send them to me?

Well ive just made a quick update that i flashed with CWM, it contained the missing xbin and bin folders, just rebooted and it looks as if everything is okay now...

Will pull the system.img for you now

[BuddyMatt]

Yeah, it was your system partition that was the problem, i just flashed your boot.img (nandc.img) and it works perfect... you owe me a crate of beer and a packet of fags... because they are alllllllll gone now lol

[BuddyMatt]

Rather worrying i just discovered how to mount an image file directly (i.e. without flashing it anywhere)

----MUST STOP FIDDLING----

Crate of beer? I only manged one bottle lol. But if you ever find yourself passing through Chippenham...

[suggsy89]

Do tell, im always up for some fiddling

Well i doubt i will be around that area anytime soon haha

[BuddyMatt]

mount -o loop -t ext4 <FILENAME> <DIRECTORY>

I can't garauntee it'll work with a normal system partition (like i've mentioned i'd installed a couple of bits like busybox and linuxinstaller that could potentially have overwritten the standard mount command)

also, it only appears to work once, then you have to reboot.

Gonna try your nandd now - fingers crossed!

Sweet

Let me know if its okay, i can go to sleep then
