Hi guys, unfortunately, my UConsole(CM5 Lite) is dead after an EEPROM update. It got stuck during boot, so I tried installing a fresh version of Bookworm, but that didn’t help. Then I tried an SD boot repair, but now the screen is completely black.
Does anyone know how I can recover it now?
This is the last thing I saw on the screen:
Thx 4 any help
My2cents, basically your Uconsole thing’s internal storage got corrupted, probably from a rough shutdown at some point — battery dying mid-write or a forced reset — and now there’s a busted directory block that the system can’t read, which is why oem-config fails and boot gets stuck; can’t say 100% without actually poking at the device, but your best bet is booting off a live USB or pulling the SD card and plugging it into another machine, making sure it’s unmounted first (lsblk, sudo umount /dev/mmcblk0p2), then running sudo e2fsck -f -D /dev/mmcblk0p2 and just hitting “y” through the repair prompts, then rebooting and checking systemctl status oem-config.service / journalctl -u oem-config.service to see if it’s happy now — just heads up, if the damage is bad you might lose a few files in that folder, so grab a backup first if you can.
Thanks a lot, bro. I have tried to put fresh new OS but it don’t work so I don’t think so. I’m gonna definitely try it … last time I have almost succeeded, but after five minutes it’s stuck on the same spot.
Do you have a different SD card? If this one consistently gives errors it might just be dead
are you applying any custom setting during flash? like username or wifi? if so don’t do that. also try another sd card like snipeytje said.
