The backup /home/rmhacks/xochitl.2020 is not the original file (was it replaced/ deleted?), cowardly aborting... about remarkable-hacks HOT 5 CLOSED

I had the same problem and fixed it like that (be aware that it removes some safety checks provided by the standard script):

1 - Connect to the rM through ssh
ssh [email protected]

2 - Make a backup of the current xochitl file (in case something goes wrong)
cp /usr/bin/xochitl /usr/bin/xochitl_official_backup

3 - Download the latest patch
wget https://github.com/ddvk/remarkable-hacks/raw/master/patches/22048/patch_03

4 - Apply the patch
bspatch /usr/bin/xochitl xochitl.patched /home/root/patch_03

5 - Stop some services and cleanup before starting the patched version:
root@reMarkable:~ systemctl stop xochitl
root@reMarkable:~ systemctl stop remarkable-fail
root@reMarkable:~ rm /tmp/crash
root@reMarkable:~ rm -fr .cache/remarkable/xochitl/qmlcache/
root@reMarkable:~ QT_LOGGING_RULES=*=false ./xochitl.patched || echo "It crashed?"

6 - To make it permanent, replace /usr/bin/xochitl by xochitl.patched
Ctrl + z
bg
cp /home/root/xochitl.patched /usr/bin/xochitl

Thanks for the reply

After the last line in step 5, I get:
root@remarkable:~# QT_LOGGING_RULES=*=false ./xochitl.patched || echo "It crashed?" Segmentation fault It crashed?

Is your current rM version 2.2.048?

My remarkable version: 2.0.2.0. I guess I should update it?

I confirm: after updating to version 2.2.048 everything works like charm
