Boot timeout

[Reaper-Oni]

Okay so here's the problem. Recently I upgraded my IcopyX and ever since I had a Boot timeout and no way of fixing it. Because it was provided by work, I got a new IcopyX. However I could not help wanting to fix it. So what I did is I opened it up and found a micro-SD inside. Because I can't read it and my system keeps wanting to format it, I was hoping you could help out and help me fix it!?

you got a new one so you can just copy the SDcard from one to the other one

What format of the SD-card do I need to use? Fat, ExFat, NTFS and after the format just copy the files from the new IcopyX to the old SD (boot the new IcopyX connect to PC and copy paste?)?

I'd try to copy the old SD to the new one with dd, everything including the boot sector and partition table, just in case.
Partition system is not trivial. On my card I got:

Disk sdc.img: 14.84 GiB, 15938355200 bytes, 31129600 sectors
Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disklabel type: dos
Disk identifier: 0xcabe25b6

Device     Boot   Start      End  Sectors  Size Id Type
sdc.img1          49152   131071    81920   40M  b W95 FAT32
sdc.img2         131072  3612672  3481601  1.7G 83 Linux
sdc.img3        4589568  7802879  3213312  1.5G 83 Linux
sdc.img4        7802880 30949375 23146496   11G 83 Linux

Then put SDcard back in icopy-x, see if it boots. I'm not sure a fw with the wrong serial can boot or not.

If yes, drop the latest fw for the correct serial on the SDcard as following the update procedure, and reflash the device.

If it doesn't boot, try to deploy the latest fw for the correct serial on the SDcard filesystem by yourself by replacing userdata/root/home/pi/ipk_app_main content with the one from the ipk (which is just a zip). Beware of setting the same files ownership and rights. userdata is the volume name of the third partition (4589568 7802879 3213312 1.5G 83 Linux)

I've been checking the SD-card and it's like it got wiped completely. No filesystem type no files, nothing basically.
Every time I insert the disk in a system it asks to initialise or erase. So in order to restore I need all the files, except the FW. That I do have. I might be able to copy all the files from the new IcopyX when connected to the PC, but I have no clue if that'll work. I'll get back to you on that.

How'd you copy the entire disk including bootsectors??

[doegox]

As I wrote, with dd
