Elonex OneT System Recovery
Description:
It seems that lots of people using the official Elonex ONEt recovery instructions are failing to get the Elonex Recovery Image to work. They are sending them back, as ‘bricked’, simply for lack of useful instructions. Brian Reid Beetson Robert amended the Trendtac Recovery instructions found elswhere on this site so that they will work for the Elonex OneT. Thanks Brian!
WARNING:
Save everything first that you need to restore because this involves formatting the SSD.
How to install:
1. Download the recovery imagefile found at the bottom of this page (336MB for Elonex, all current patches have been slipstreamed) and unzip it.
2. Format an SD card or USB Memory Drive to “FAT” or “FAT32″ (VEHO 4GB SDHC worked on Elonex ONEt+)
3. Copy the two recovery files: “uImage” + “Recovery.rec” to the SD
card or USB Memory Drive.
4. Plug the SD card or USB Memory Drive into your Little Linux Laptop
( no need to remove it, until restore is complete if step.7 successful)
5. Turn your Little Linux Laptop on.
6. Once the Power LED (Green) lights press the Fn + Shift + F1 keys at the same time, i.e. immediately after turning on your ONEt.
7. If it is successful, there will be a white screen. If so, release the three buttons. If you don’t see the white screen, try step 4-6
again.
8. Wait until the normal loading screen (the Elonex black screen)
appears.
9. Wait 5 seconds and turn your Little Linux Laptop off by pressing
and holding the power button until it shuts down.
10. Turn your Little Linux Laptop on again.
11. Once the loading screen (the Elonex black screen ) appears, press the “F3″ button and hold it.
12. If successful you will see the “Welcome To Begin Recovery the System” + MAC no. screen. Press “Enter” to continue.
13. You see the second screen. Press “Enter” to continue or press “Q” to exit.
14. You will see the third screen. At this stage insert the SD card or USB Memory Drive (with the Recovery files) if not already in place. Press [enter] to continue or press “Q” to quit the recovery.
15. You see the fourth screen. If you press “enter”, the system will be completely reformatted and recovered. All your stored information will be lost. In theory if you press [s], the system will only be re-installed and your stored information will be retained. This did not work for me, with additional programs installed it was necessary to reformat first.
Press “b” to return to the previous screen.
16. Your Little Linx Laptop will automatically reboot. (DON’T TURN IT OFF BEFORE IT REBOOTS) On the Elonex ONEt+ the progress is shown by dots on a line.
17. The recovery process is complete. Power down, and restart – it takes about 25 seconds for the first restart, rather than the normal 12 seconds.

sorry wrong e-mail try with this one

I got to stage 7 OK, but after that, it boots, into the broken OS: doesn’t give the normal black loading screen, and trying to follow the subsequent instructions regardless does nothing.
Perhaps I’ve got a duff machine?

Sound as a pound, Thanks.

Hi, I managed to fix the problem, the problem is simply the sd card you people are using. Try a different SD card.

One thing I would really like to comment on is that weightloss system fast can be performed by the proper diet and exercise. A person’s size not only affects appearance, but also the complete quality of life. Self-esteem, melancholy, health risks, and also physical abilities are damaged in an increase in weight. It is possible to make everything right whilst still having a gain. If this happens, a condition may be the primary cause. While a lot food and not enough body exercise are usually to blame, common medical conditions and key prescriptions can greatly amplify size. Kudos for your post here gywl55.

Stellar assistance. I was studying as a result of the report and I was like “which regarding articles?” lol.

Great article on the nuts and bolts of SEO.

Hi Guys
When I try the restore i get
open input no such file or directory.
With a bit of gobble de gook and the system restarts to a hung elonex splash screen, any ideas i’d love to get my little laptop working again.
June 21st, 2011 at 16:51
Nope tried a number of linux OS’s off of this site and nothing works ie I get the same result….Me thinks the problems I had with hanging up in the browser is probably hardware.
If I can pick one up cheap enough I’ll see if I can load up on a good bit of kit, at least that would assure me I’m carrying the right procedure.
