Endless reboot - major problem, help!!
Hi, my Iliad has been fine since I got it, but today it is endlessly rebooting.
I was trying to sync to my PC, and I read somwhere that I needed to delete the usr/share folder and replace it to get the sync to work. I deleted the folder in emelFM but it didn't give permission to create a new share folder. Not long after it went into endless reboot. All I get is the Iliad screen with book images again and again. Soft reset doesn't work. Hard reset doesn't work. Cannot reflash because I can't get it to power off!! Just the same screen again and again, with the green light on and the white screen in between each reboot. Help please!! I've submitted a ticket with Irex but don't know how they'll take to respond. I will have to let the power run out then charge again and try to reflash, but somehow I doubt it will work. How can I get the damn thing to just turn off and stop rebooting??? Yours desperately, David |

Hit the reset button on the back of the unit. That will do a hard power off.
Then, you can perform the reflash with a CF card. A normal reflash should work without problems. Oh, and don't forget the most important step: Calm down, and take a few deep breaths. Your iLiad will work again soon. No need to panic. |

Hi,
I had one the same problem. I changed the startup fille and Iliad continued with restarting. Probably waiting for the emptiness the battery and restart with boot loader would solve the problem, but there is an easiest way. Hit the reset button at the backside of the Iliad with the pen as Adam recommended. By this action you will stop the continuous restarting. Then switch off the unit and simultaneously hold the internet button (right up corner). Leave the power button and hold internet button for 5 seconds same time. If you have the system image in the CF card, boot loader will reflash the system from CF. |
