**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Fri Oct 19 03:00:01 2012 Oct 19 03:01:39 Hello guys. I'm looking to erase my sdcard on my touchpad through novaterm. I was wondering if recreating the partitions (incl standard vgremove store) actually accomplishes this? Oct 19 03:06:26 :S Oct 19 03:22:40 . Oct 19 03:54:40 i am going to take a guess here and say most people are idling Oct 19 04:55:11 jaggy_: what do you mean by sdcard? Oct 19 04:55:26 touchpad has an internal flash chip, not an sd card Oct 19 04:55:41 (unless you have one connected via OTG) Oct 19 04:56:35 oh well when i say sdcard i'm referring to what is commonly seen as the usb drive Oct 19 04:57:12 ah, the media partition Oct 19 04:57:19 exactly! Oct 19 04:57:25 that's the one Oct 19 04:57:26 do you want to just erase, or wipe securely? Oct 19 04:58:03 well, I'll be sending in my touchpad for repair. Unfortunately it looks like it's a defective digitizer or some such. Because of this, I cannot do a secure erase through the standard menus Oct 19 04:58:28 you can use dd to wipe the partition Oct 19 04:58:42 dd? Oct 19 04:59:43 If it's any indication, the usb "drive" has not been showing up whatsoever in windows Oct 19 05:00:00 whether in usb mode or not Oct 19 05:02:18 I was just about to recreate all the standard partitions along the lines of http://www.webos-internals.org/wiki/How_To_Recover#Complete_filesystem_creation Oct 19 05:06:43 just the last line of that will do for an insecure erase Oct 19 05:11:38 if i can extrapolate, beyond a full secure erase, such a process would render the media partition clear. Files could nonetheless be restored through standard lvm partition methods though Oct 19 05:12:18 well, you'd need to employ data recovery techniques, since the filesystem metadata would be hosed Oct 19 05:13:55 I was looking into that a little while back. Prior to dealing with the touchpad I hadn't had much exposure to lvm Oct 19 05:14:15 In case it might be of interest for any reason.. http://itknowledgeexchange.techtarget.com/linux-lotus-domino/recovering-files-from-an-lvm-or-ext3-partition-with-testdisk/ Oct 19 05:14:54 But that is a fair answer, rwhitby. I appreciate the feedback and I'll proceed as per your comments Oct 19 14:06:39 hi, do you know if there are an app to check if we steal my phone Oct 19 14:07:06 an app who get photo and GPS coord Oct 19 18:18:02 hi, I was wondering if there was any documentation on how to build WebOs for a device. Oct 19 18:19:19 hello? Oct 19 19:16:33 so .. i'm wanting to try out modding another device for touchstone. i've got a evo 4g, and it looks like the pixi coil is a perfect fit for the back cover. do i basically just need to attach the coil to the back of the device, and attach the wires from the coil to the charger connection? Oct 19 19:23:36 I've seen wiki's for adding touchstone to extended battery cases for pre, but not other devices. From what I saw on those pages, it looks like that is all that should be needed. Oct 19 20:17:11 EricBlade, the Touchstone King is rwhitby Oct 19 21:59:28 EricBlade: that's basically it Oct 19 21:59:51 wires from the electronics attached to the coil, not the coil itself Oct 19 22:06:03 should i go to the battery connection, or attempt to locate where the original source of power is? Oct 19 22:12:57 you should never go direct to the battery Oct 19 22:13:03 you'll blow something up that way Oct 19 22:13:11 always go to the USB charging input Oct 19 22:13:36 there will be a power management IC between that and the battery **** ENDING LOGGING AT Sat Oct 20 03:00:02 2012
