Potential rootFS restore issue:
+
-
If, after restoring, the device is "bricked" or doesn't work correctly:
+
-
1. Flash the default PR1.2 image to the device
+
-
2. Using the flasher utility, flash your backup rootfs image(-r option).
+
-
Not sure why this works, but it seems to solve all manner of problems.
