How does it work*?
Well, I already ask for help some months ago, and had some good answers but my problem remained. I give up and said to myself that, well nothing can be done. But no, I’m stubborn and I do want to read epub on my Hanvon N516 and I will. So what’s the problem ? I’m in China where I bought a N516, though I wanted a Hanlin V3, big mistake. It’s all in Chinese, ok, no big deal, but the firmware sucks big and I want to change it to OpenInkpot. I followed the Installation guide but Windows (not mine, I’m on Ubuntu) can’t detect it. I tried on two computers. # Connect the device via USB. Ok # Push the 'Rotate' button and power on the device. What does that mean anyway ? I pushed it, pressed it, push up and down, two seconds, two minutes, pressed before after in the same time as the power on button, with a previous reset, and then : # New device will appear in your system, point to this directory for driver. No. Nothing appeared. Two times two hours trying that and nothing appeared. Where am I wrong ? For information, my N516 have this firmware : N516标准版 升级包V24210 and I used these files to do the upgrades : flash.cramfs, flash.cramfs.md5. |

Thanks. I will not try it so. I think that the first version of the N516 were using it and that Hanvon quickly changed it to what is it today.
I will keep reading PDF and wait for an update. |

There is an original firmware with epub support: http://www.hanvon.com/de/download/Eb..._2.2.7.2.0.rar But it is not the .cramfs update. Try asking Hanvon if it is possible to install this update on your device. |
