Hi gang !
After a bad manipulation on the Pocketbook, I inadvertently deleted the important file for starting the device HWCONFIG.BIN
DEVICE
• Pocketbook Inkpad 4
EVENTS
• The device can be started, the screen does not respond, you can only see the text Pocketbook.
• After connecting the device to the PC (Win/Linux) I don't have the option to connect, which would be really simple, so I could upload the HWCONFIG file to the root directory, which I would copy to the /boot folder and the problem would be solved, unfortunately life is not that simple.
• I can only access the device through the UART port, when starting the device I see an error message that the device cannot be started because it cannot find the configuration file (HWconfig, which contains information about the device)
I tried software on the PC side such as KEMRIT et which uses an older protocol like X and Z MODEM, but I think that in order for the file to be transferred I would have to run minicom on the Inkpad side as well?
It seemed that I somehow managed to send a file from the PC to the Pocketbook once, but I couldn't find it anywhere on the device (pocketbook) (I don't even know where to look for it).
QUESTION
Does anyone have experience, a suggestion, or a procedure how I could send the HWBIN file to the Pocketbook using UART or otherwise?
I tried to activate and mount the USB port through the command line (on the pocketbook page), but without success, even when Windows made the classic sound of the device being connected, but no drive appeared.
It is not a simple text file where it is possible to manually write the information model=, scren= etc. through the text editor, but a binary file, so creating the HWBIN file manually is not considered.
Well, maybe there will be someone who knows superhuman skills and will be able to give some advice or point me in the right direction.
I downloaded the original and the new HWCONFIG.BIN file from another Inkpad4 device. At the very least, take this as a warning that when you do the slightest manipulation with files, always remember to make backups..
