[edit] Make a bootable SD card

Take an SD card of at least 1 GB from which all information may be deleted. I installed Hackable:1 on the SD card by following these instructions: http://www.hackable1.org/wiki/Installation

[edit] Boot from your SD card

Press and hold AUX button while pressing the power button. Select the second option to boot from the SD card.

[edit] Mount the file system that resides on your flash memory 

mount -t jffs2 /dev/mtdblock6 /mnt/flash/

[edit] Do your thing to make your phone booting again

For example:

  • Check the file system
  • Do an opkg upgrade of a broken operating system 
chroot /mnt/flash opkg update
chroot /mnt/flash opkg upgrade
  • Backup some directories 
scp -r root@192.168.0.202:/mnt/flash/etc/freesmartphone/opim backupdir
