Or see if you can edit the files on a linux PC or PC running a linux live CD.
It looks like the storage is hard soldered to the board on the Home Assistant Blue / ODROID-N2
I’m comfortable using a Live-CD but how would I connect the storage / MMC to it?
I’m out of ideas.
Extremely unlikely the eMMC would be soldered.
It seems to be the orange-y rectangle at the right (or the chip above, not sure). You should be able to remove it.
Now, you’ll need an adapter to be able to work with the eMMC on a desktop.
Something like https://www.amazon.co.uk/SmartFly-Tech-eMMC-Board-RK3399/dp/B08229QKV3/ref=sr_1_10?dchild=1&keywords=emmc+usb&qid=1626002280&sr=8-10 (no personal experience)
I quickly tested this with a haos_ova-6.1
VM (VirtualBox, Linux - Home Assistant) and found that typing login
at the ha >
prompt gives me root shell access.
I’m commenting here because I know there’s a way to either dump all of the restore file text to a text file output… OR to format it differently on screen so that the slugs are all visible.
I’m in the same boat as OP a few years ago. And I’ve restored from the HA prompt before by typing in ha snapshots something
(something was something else, obviously), and being able to see all of my slugs so I could select the latest one.
I’m going to give the restore I did another hour before I do something drastic, but in the meantime I’m hoping someone can tell me what the command was that I’ve used at least once before! I’ll write it down somewhere this time…
If I understand correctly, you cannot see all of the slugs because the command’s output scrolls past the top of the screen and there’s no scrollback. If so, try this:
login
ha snapshots | less
I tried this today, and it does seem to work. Thanks!
