Rescue CD for N9/N950 allows you to access your phone when you have just changed some files and your device doesn't boot. For example when you've just uploaded new preint script and something went wrong.

There is a way to access whole file system of your device, but sadly not on Windows. If you happen to be on Windows or don't have a flasher for your distribution then you can use [https://docs.google.com/folder/d/0BxyCpLnoU3uiX3FZT2ZSQzk5M2M/edit this Debian Live CD].

== Usage ==
# Download the [https://docs.google.com/folder/d/0BxyCpLnoU3uiX3FZT2ZSQzk5M2M/edit?docId=0BxyCpLnoU3uiMVJxTGtfUWhadkU Debian Live CD with flasher and rescue images] (rescue9-binary-hybrid.iso).
# Boot with a "Live" option.
# Open user's home.
# Go to n9-rescue directory.
# Open info.txt and follow steps described.

Note that you can find a Terminal in Accessories.

Also note that Rescue 9 should mount both MyDocs and rootfs automatically. Just remember to unmount both before you unplug the USB cable (you can use the eject button in the file manager).

== Source ==
The source for Debian Live CD is [https://docs.google.com/folder/d/0BxyCpLnoU3uiX3FZT2ZSQzk5M2M/edit?docId=0BxyCpLnoU3uiSWVOQTIzNmlJZjQ livecd9-config.7z].

To use above to build your own CD you must use Debian.
# Install build tools: apt-get install live-build
# If you want to make fully customized own you should install other helper packages: apt-get install live-manual live-config live-helper
# To build a CD go into the directory which contains "config" and run: lb build

Note that you will need about 8 GiB of free space for building iso!

Tips:
# To add .deb files copy them into "config/chroot_local-packages".
# To tell live builder you to download and install packages add names to "config/chroot_local-packageslists/mycustompackages.list".
# To add extra files to root use: "config/chroot_local-includes" (etc/skel is special in that it will add files to user's home).
# There are many versions of instructions for Debian Live and they might be very misleading. In different versions of Live they changed folder and variable names and even behavior of some. Be sure to use manual installed.
