Re: Best Way Of Reloading A Screwed System
Hmmm, don't seem to be able to use phablet-flash to do this. In the recovery console adb devices detects it, but
sudo phablet-flash ubuntu-system
just gives
INFO:phablet-flash:Device detected as /system/bin/sh: getprop: not found
ERROR:phablet-flash:Unsupported device, autodetect fails device
Do I need to use adb push up to /sdcard/autodeploy.zip when in recovery console to be able to load up the ubuntu-system (RO, OTA updates enabled, yes?) image up to the phone or is there a way of using phablet-flash to do this? If I have to adb push it up, is that the saucy-preinstalled-system-armel+mako.img image, or should I still be using the saucy-preinstalled-touch-armhf.zip file?
Cheers
Phil

I don't see why it would be a problem. When you install
ubuntu-system,
it backs up the home folder, wipes the phone, installs a
clean image,
and then restores the backup.
OTA updates should work then. If you need to make it
writeable, there's
a file you can create to make the system writeable, though
it's
considered experimental or something. Can't remember the
file, it's been
mentioned on the list a few times though, just search for
it.
