    The look of my terminal change, see the picture
    0_1539798506330_1dac4db0-9ee7-47d0-af62-2b7ea7833386-imagen.png
    Every time that I connect to the omega, the setup wizard appears
    If a press the Reset button at the dock for 10 seconds nothing happens.

    How can I resolve these issues?.
    I just want start from Zero with my omega2
    thanks for your time

    @andres-mac boot your omega with the external storage removed, then run firstboot -y; sync; reboot and you'll get back to factory settings.
    Allow the Omega to completely boot (might take 3-4min after the firstboot procedure), and then try to setup booting from external storage again.

    Let us know how it goes



  • Hi Lazar,
    Thank you for your technical support,
    before read your answer, I tried this command:
    umount /overlay && jffs2reset && reboot
    and now my terminal looks like this
    0_1539926999243_eee38fc3-6023-41a0-a20b-6b359d1f1ebb-imagen.png

    with a tmpfs file mounted on /tmp/root
    and the overlay is using the 86% ( is this normal after a factory setting reset?)

    then a try with your command and this was the result
    0_1539928702212_62a0ce9d-45b7-4142-9aac-fa37369a78f7-imagen.png
    And the overlay persistent at 86%.

    I think that my omega2 is going better,

    But Every time that I connect to the omega, the setup wizard appears can you help me with that and with the tmpfs file mounted on /tmp/root, and the 86% of overlay, I just want have my omega2 like new (with all erased as factory)

    Thank you so much for your help, and excuse my English

    @andres-mac that's definitely strange, the df command should yield something like this:

    root@Omega-F195:/# df -h
    Filesystem                Size      Used Available Use% Mounted on
    /dev/root                 6.3M      6.3M         0 100% /rom
    tmpfs                    61.4M    232.0K     61.1M   0% /tmp
    /dev/mtdblock6           24.4M    868.0K     23.5M   3% /overlay
    overlayfs:/overlay       24.4M    868.0K     23.5M   3% /
    tmpfs                   512.0K         0    512.0K   0% /dev
    

    I think your best bet would be to try reinstalling the firmware using the bootloader. You have two options:

    1. Flashing new firmware using web recovery
    2. Flashing new firmware using USB storage

    Let me know how it goes!



  • Hi Lazar
    Thank you so much for your help, I reinstalled the firmware using a USB storage and I think my Omega2 is alive again, now my terminal and the df command looks like this.

    Before making a mess again, I would like to know if the steps to Booting from External Storage (micro SD card) are the same as shown at
    https://docs.onion.io/omega2-docs/boot-from-external-storage.html
    Or are different for the new firmware?

    Thanks for your time.
