Repairing the Badge File System

The B3000n and B3000 Badge is designed to automatically recover from problems that may occur with its file system. Despite this safeguard, in very rare circumstances one or more files on a Badge may become corrupted. When this happens, your Badge may continuously reboot, or a Badge program may not start.

The B3000n and B3000 Badge has two partitions: the main partition which is read/write, and a backup partion which is read-only. When you run the REPAIR FILESYSTM utility, the Badge checks the file system and repairs any corrupted files.

Note: You cannot repair the file system of Badges earlier than the B3000.

To correct a problem with a corrupted file and run the REPAIR FILESYSTM utility, perform the following tasks available on the Badge Configuration Menu:

  1. Display the Badge Configuration Menu.

    For more information, refer to Using the Badge Configuration Utility.

  2. Press the Down button to highlight the REPAIR FILESYSTM command.
  3. Press the Select button. The Badge displays the following choices:
    • NO - CANCEL!
    • YES - REPAIR!
    • YES - WIPE N REPA
  4. Do one of the following:
    • Press the Down button to highlight YES - REPAIR!

      The Badge checks the file system and repair any corrupted files by copying files from the backup partition to the main partition.

    • Press the Down button to highlight YES - WIPE N REPA

      The Badge deletes all files from the main partition and copy all files from the backup partition to the main partition.

  5. Press the Select button.
  6. Wait while the Badge reboots and then proceeds to update the file system. When the update is complete (after a minute or two), the Badge reboots.
