Troubleshooting New Kernel Image
01-16-2020, 07:04 AM
I don't think it is quite time to break out the screwdriver.
It is true there are ways that you *can* destroy the bootloader (which currently is on the eMMC) and that would need a screwdriver to fix but it shouldn't happen when you are playing about with the kernel. One useful clue is the power light... if the power light still works then the bootloader is starting up!
Assuming the power light is working then try burning the mrfixit image to an SD card and the bootloader should "prefer" the (working) SD card over booting from (broken) eMMC. With luck that should give you a working OS from which to repair things...
Good luck!
