Rescue Your Mobian post Update Aug22 faster fix to working guide

[biketool]

Flashing tow-boot and the mobian distro you linked didn't work for me, and so I reverted to megi's multi distro, which 1) worked once already, 2) gives me Jumpdrive so I can write a script to extract my photos and sound recordings from the phone. In that distro, however, the resizing methods you mention don't work, there's always something missing - so once I finally remembered how I did it the first time (see here), the rest just worked. Well, mostly - there seems to be, probably, a clash between some setting in my backed-up /home (restored the address book and syncthing settings just fine), so the caller exits after its splash screen, and megapixels sometimes exits after trying to take a shot once, but when relaunched works again, or takes a few shots and then exits on next shot. SMS works but takes and makes no calls...

I remember I had such problems with the 2022-08-22 update, and that the next update fixed most of them, so... still waiting for the upgrade to finish.

Other than that, followed your instructions and, well, thanks man.

I am not sure why the resize didn't work for you; even jumpdrive vs towboot should work just fine, we are just mounting /home to get the few conf files we need.
I will say that I think I had trouble transferring all of /home so when I re-wiped I chose a few folders which were important to me.
I read your other post though and my cut/paste solution is for EMMC internal installs, you need to choose your SD card "put mmcblk2 if its on a emmc. mmcblk0 for sd card" you can verify with "print". 
Good to see it is working now though.
