Re: Fixing Recovery Partition on S20-30 (may work at others models)
Hello good fellas.
After I partitioned my Lenovo partition (recovery partition), I was not able to use OneKey Recovery anymore, so after a deep search, including Lenovo forums, I did not find a solution to get it to work again.
Losing the hope I was not to going be able to fix it, I find a solution, and because it did work so well,I'm here to share with the comunity, since I'm not the only with that problem, so there it goes.
All CREDITS go to Youtuber Nije Nego Link for the VIDEO
Files I used--> GPARTED TUXBOOT
STEPS;
First of all create a bootable USB\CD using Gparted (is explained how to HERE)
1. Boot you computer by USB or CD
2. Select the first option
3. Find in the disk identifier for the recovery partition -- eg /dev/sda4 (it may vary)
4. Open up the Gparted terminal by right click on desktop than terminal -- lxterminal with root permision
5. Type fdisk /dev/sda (there is a SPACE between fdisk and /)
6. Type M for help if you want
7. Type P to print the partition table -- again check you get the same number as above and the size aswell
8. Type T , then 4 for the partition number (REPLACE with the number of your partition if needed)
9. If you want, type L to list codes
10. The code you want is 12, enter 12 and then type W to write
11. Do not use the GUI from this point -- if you do, it will remove the code 12
12. Exit gparted and try the OKR button. It should work.
