Device 'reset'

What files do I have to delete from the device to get it working again?
I deleted every file with date on it but it still says "please sync".

I would like to use only this software to get it working because I only have linux and I don't want it to connect to Internet. My computer should be enough.

It is not so easy. FlowSync is modifing some system files after sync. The easiest way to check it is to dump device memory befora and after sync. This is a nice goal anyway.

Yeah I thought about the same thing so I asked first if someone had done it already..

haivala commented

Well I just have to wait if someone cracks this one. I don't have time, windows or mac to play with..

haivala commented

could somebody at least give the diffs?

I can't give you the diffs, because they contain personal data but here some information which files are changed after a sync:

  • JOURNAL.DAT changed
  • SYNCINFO.BPB changed
  • U/0/DBDC.DAT changed
  • U/0/YYYYMMDD/PHYSDATA/ deleted (old data not from the day of the sync)
  • U/0/YYYYMMDD/ACT/ID.BPB created (old data not from the day of the sync)
  • U/0/S/PHYSDATA.BPB changed
  • U/0/S/UDEVSET.BPB changed
  • U/0/TL/RECOVS.BPB changed

I use loophole in https://github.com/fernsehkind/PALOR and the only feature missing is the delete/remove old data feature. So I'm highly interested to include this feature, too. Give me some time to investigate.

Resolved. Delete is now supported. Also please take a look at: https://github.com/rsc-dev/A360
