Weekend Run #6

Rainy day, didn’t do the parkrun, but ran later instead. Still raining. Also was very tired since I was up till past midnight reflashing my phone and tablet devices. Not sure why, but my phone was complaining of low space (120MB left) on internal storage, and I could not seem to free up anything. Spent the night letting Titanium Backup try to restore the apps.

My tablet was running ICS, but now I’ve got it up to KitKat thanks to XDA.

Tracks: Endomondo, ZR, Nike+

Note to self

If tablet doesn’t boot, use cold boot option (hold down, don’t go into recovery, confirm cold boot)

To fix problem, in terminal:

su echo boot | dd of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 bs=1 seek=0
