You can dd the current installation to eMMC using this command: | |||
dd if=/dev/mmcblkX of=/dev/mmcblkY bs=1M | |||
Where X is the number label of the SD card, and Y is the number label of the eMMC. | |||
It will take about 15 minutes (depending on the speed of your card), and in the end it may show an error about not enough space - just ignore it. Turn off phone, take out SD card, and try booting the phone which should load up the new OS from eMMC. | |||
