Sources are not very helpful for emergency recovery. Depending on your device (I don't know anything about the Lime2) you have various easy "binary only" recovery methods: - most popular for all machines that can boot from USB: boot a USB install image - my personal favorite: boot an install kernel for your device from u-boot via network - boot an install kernel for your device from another SD card and swap the cards after the installer starts (better only do that on ramdisk based installers where / is on the memorydisk during installation) On machines with multiple possible boot sources it is easier (and you can prepare for disaster upfront by having a spare "known good" boot setup around). For us to be able to help you more, we need to know details about your setup. Like: what boot medium are you using, what are the other available options - and maybe you can get better support on the port-arm mailing list. Martin
