Hi Sébastien I've just tried reset with/out the SD card in, without any luck. How can I verify my img file created with d2s originally onto a 1GB SD card (now reused)? I have a CD with gz'd copy that I originally d2s'd and have dd'd it to a 1GB SD card. The gz'd file is 27.5MB whilst the extracted img files is 98.2MB!! That is, it will only fit on a 1GB SD card ... ? Note: I prepared the orginal 1GB SD card on an (and, rescued for the purpose) XP PC. I couldn't get a Linux format SD card to be read by my hx4700. The latest 1GB SD card was similarly format'd on an XP PC - but when I verified it, with "fdisk /dev/sdb1" on one of my Linux PCs, the partition table was a real mess. I've corrected this, with fdisk, and re-tied the whole process with the hx4700 without any luck ... Can anybody send me gz'd working img file that I can restore to my hx4700 in order that I can sync my newly purchased Mobile 5.0 to it? Unless, of course, I'm still doing something blatantly wrong ...
