[RESOLVED] Help: save my dockstar

Postby mkid » Sat Jul 09, 2011 9:32 am

My dockstar "phone home" and not booting as expected.
I bought a CA-42 cable and managed to get the putty running with the serial cable connected.
booting sequence captured and shown below.

However, I don't know much about Linux but using a Windows XP machine.

I have search quite sometime to see if there are any simple step by step guide for using Windows to restore the firmware, but not finding any.

Can anyone help to look at the below and advise how I can restore to stock firmware.
then I would like to install plug linux to the USB and boot from there.

You should be able to just extract to a properly formatted usb drive and go.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('kmihelich', 'Y')ou should be able to just extract to a properly formatted usb drive and go.


because there is no SSH, I need to resume SSH first, but the after the "STARTING APPLICATION", it seems hang already.

that is the reason I would like to recover to stock first.

any other ideas, or alternatives ?

Use another Linux box, you should be able to just extract the rootfs to a properly formatted usb drive and go.

As root though, not a regular user, or sudo.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('WarheadsSE', 'A')s root though, not a regular user, or sudo.


I have downloaded the images :
ce_kernel_redstone_v63.img
ce_ramdisk_v2.0b.img

but just don't know where to start with from Windows XP.

No.

Download the latest armv5te rootfs, boot into an ubunu live cd, or whatever, and extract it to the usb... as root.
