This will show you a list of mounted devices and partitions. Find the one whose mount path is /mtd_rwarea. You can find the mount path on the second line of each chunk of info for each device. The partition number you need is the partition key on the first line. Now proceed with the rest of the steps.

11 (FLASH, HDD Format Test)
Enter the partition number for /mtd_rwarea

On the last line you have to enter number of your /mtd_rwarea/. On C550 it is 10, but on other TV it can be other (e.g. 14)

If you get warning "Device is busy", enter HotelMode and try format again.
