Topic: Special options won't boot, and "repair safe mode" is greyed out?
Hi, I have an Infocast 8, which I had to reimage with the image from Insignia, posted over on their forums. I imaged the file onto the SD card and it booted fine.
I wanted to update it to the latest version, 1.8.2, to be able to use Zurk's offline firmware and be up to date. When I try to boot into special options, it hangs. I saw a similar post here discussing the same problem, and they were able to fix it by going into options and selecting "Repair Safe Mode" when the device was booted up with update.zip on it. For me, this option is grayed out.
Does anyone know what I can do? Is there a manual command I can give to force "Repair Safe Mode" via debugchumby or SSH? Could this be an issue with bad blocks? What should the dd command have been? I saw a file called repair_bad_blocks-1.6.zip mentioned in another thread, but it's a dead link.
