HEEEEELP!
I just got my Pocket Edge from Woot a few days ago, and so far I love it! I have no idea why such a fabulous device didn't go mainstream. At any rate, the only the problem I have is that I've not been able to update to (Ermine) Froyo! I've downloaded the update.zip file and placed it in the root of my USB flash drive. Then I make sure the power is off, and while holding down menu and the screen rotate button I flip the power button. I continue to hold down the power button for 10 seconds, then release them. Nothing happens. My pocket edge just continues to boot up as normal.
What could I possibly be doing wrong???? Any help would be greatly appreciated it! I can't wait to get my hands on the full size version.  jamietmob |

Is the usb drive formatted to FAT32? If it is NTFS it won't work and I'm not 100% sure but I don't think FAT will work either.

Welcome, Jamietmob!
 There are many good suggestions and instructions in this thread: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=142035. Hopefully, something in there will work for you if krewskater's very good observation hasn't already cured your PEs ills!  P.S. According the pyxiwulf FAT does work, and might even be better than FAT32.

THANK YOU!

After 2 long days of battling with the manual update, I was directed to the thread listed above, and sure enough my PE is currently updating to Froyo 2.2! Can't wait! After my struggles I want to share what worked for me. It seems I was doing everything right except the renaming part. If you're downloading a zip or winrar file DO NOT RENAME IT TO UPDATE.ZIP! JUST RENAME IT TO "UPDATE". If you attempt to add the .zip portion in Windows you will get a warning saying that the file may become unusable! Thanks to pyxiwulf for the tip! Love me some Pocket Edge! Can't wait to get my mits on the full size device! jamietmob |

Yes, I've updated two this week with FAT.
Jamietmob, so glad to hear someone's issue was just the naming problem! Such a simple fix! |
