Cosmo Communicator - Linux / Partition Question
« on: October 05, 2023, 09:29:02 am »
Background. I have 3 Planet machines an Astro and a Cosmo both working properly. The Cosmo had a new battery earlier this year and was set up as dual boot when i bought it but I repartitioned to use all the space as android using the recovery menu and re installed it at V23 firmware. All works perfectly and now I sync data and apps between the Astro and the Cosmo so my Cosmo is my semi warm backup device. This spends most of its life powered down and is just powered up,every few weeks to sync its data and apps.
I have a second Cosmo and this is the problem child. It had a hard life and is well used although the battery is ok ,the CODI screen is broken and does not work (don't care as i have it disabled when I play with it) Anyway this was also was set up for dual boot and i decided to reconfigure it using the partition option on the recovery menu and re install the firmware to v23 as that worked when i did it on my other Cosmo. Well this time something when wrong and I got an error partitioning , it formats with no errors on the factory reset but I then get a cant read the partition list when I try to update. Any ideas if this is correctable or is the Cosmo just spare parts? I get the recovery menu so bootstrap is ok.
I should add I paid less for it than getting planet to replace the battery so not worth sending to Planet
