Troubleshooting • Re: RPI5 updating bootloader via SD issues (got files back, want bookmarks)

Glad you made it!

For some reason this SD is a read only

The Sandisk cards are known for became read-only when it detects that is near to a total fail. At least you can read it.

is there a way to get my bookmarks off this SD? I used Chromium or w/e the default web browser is. Had a lot of bookmarks pertaining to the different MCP/ADS chips or other sensor chips I have. Any chance I can get these bookmarks off my 512gb sd card before I reformat it?

Yes, just copy the folder ~/.config/chromium/ to the same folder of your new card (replace the folder).

BTW: I don't think you can reformat the SD card... And even if you can I should not use it as it's not reliable anymore.

Where do I find the ~/.config/chromium on an SD card I am currently reading? I can only find that for the SD card that is being used as the OS. As far as my SanDisk 512gb sd, I have used this for about 4 years as data storage back when I was using laptops. Holding a little over 400GB. Could use over the years have made this SD card go bad?
