emmc formatted by mistake (it no longer appears)

[elode]

During a Mobian installation test, I mistakenly formatted the EMMC with gparted.
Now with jumpdrive the emmc no longer appears.
With tow-boot, communication with my PC no longer works (the light turns blue when I press the level up button, but then the light flashes and the pinephone turns off.

On the other hand, if I flash a mobian image on the sd-card, I can still boot on it… but no more emmc :/

In a terminal, I ran the lsblk command and I get this:

Code:

mmcblk2
179:256        0   29G   0   disk
mmcblk2boot0
179:512        0   4M    1   disk
mmcblk2boot1
179:768        0   4M    1   disk

How can I retrieve the emmc?
Can anyone help me ? I'm not a computer scientist.

Sorry… In fact I did not format the emmc, I deleted the partitions.

 can't you partition and format it again with gparted (or parted) from the sd card?

The battery was fully charged...

What exactly happened:

• in gparted, I erased the partitions of the emmc
  
• gparted gave me a message that the system could not take the change into account before a reboot (i.e. the emmc partitions still appeared in Dolphin even though they no longer existed).
  
• I then disconnected and reconnected the usb cable of the pinephone
  

…and then, no more emmc.
Since then, it has not been possible to access it.

Oops, I hadn't realized that we could access the emmc from the sd card… thanks
So I flashed mobian to the sd card, then flashed mobian to the emmc from the sd card…and it worked!

Everything is in order. Thanks a lot for the help!
