Hey, please help me... I wanted to enable Smart Reflex, so I edited /etc/pmconfig.

Now the device doesn't boot, and I'm sure it's because of that file... Is there a way to edit the file now? Or any other thing?

Please help!

You tried flashing it ?
if it doesnt boots then i guess flashing it.. or if you have a dual boot with android or something..

Try just flashing the kernel only first...

I'll lose all my data... Is there a way to for example start the device using another thing, like a live OS maybe... I dunno... Is there any other thing I can do? If I can just change those 1s to 0s, everything will be fine!

Well, you'll loose your already installed apps if you reflash just the kernel. But you won't lose the majority of your configuration files or saved data for those apps, so when you reinstall them it'll be almost like it was.

Rather, I'm not sure if you can reflash just kernel files. As I understand it you either reflash rootfs (which has kernel, and some other system stuff), or rootfs and EMMC. I'm guessing the "reflash just kernel" mean the former.

Acctually.. it is possible to just flash the kernel. That would save you the hazzle of reinstalling the apps and conf-files.

sudo flasher-3.5 -F <firmware-image> --flash-only=kernel -f -R

edit: Although i would not bet on that it will change your /etc/pmconfig. You probably need to flash your root system e.g. the Combined image.

Isn't there any way to mount the device on my computer and edit the file?

Is there any kernel which supports SmartReflex, and won't reboot... So that I can boot and change the file?

Is there something like a live OS?
