me but I am a new PE user. I want to give the unit to my son and do a Factory Reset. However I can't figure out how to do it. I can't get to anything that says Factory Reset. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks, I found it under PRIVACY

creeker2 · 10-23-2011, 07:49 PM

As stated in the previous reply I found the Factory Reset. I'd know like to give the unit to my son. It wants to take me thru the registration process. Now that PE is no longer supported do I still go thru that process or is there a walk-around?

I had the same problem, and found the solution here;

Gunnerp245
At the registration screen with the LCD on the right, click in the corners counterclockwise starting with the upper left, lower left, etc. I have tried it and it works. Video posted by obsessed2 showing above method.

Good Luck

Obsessed,

Just want to express my gratitude for your incredible dossier on the entourage for we neophytes. I am proud to say that I figured how to establish my email accounts without your guidance--took some trial and error. But I've got all my yahoo and gmail accounts up and running under Dingo 1.6. Want to learn my way around my PE before upgrading to V1.01.

Am downloading books as well and enjoying their reads without need of a computer for transfer. Just finished a pretty good though short book "Cobblestones." Am reading a wild Singularity one now.

Good luck to you all with your new purchases; might you find it/them as cool as I have come to delightfully discover with mine! s//

Your welcome. Thank you for the kind comment.

Experimentation is one of the best ways to learn your way around the Edge. However, should you have any questions, the users on this forum are incredibly helpful . Welcome to MobileRead and enjoy your Edge.

I found a site http://www.e-eeasy.com/SMTPServerList.aspx that posts most if not all the providers out there and their smtp servers. It's a longggg list--world wide. Hope this helps anyone. s//

Hello,
I downloaded Manual Update to Ermine and followed the directions but never got the "Updating software" splash screen. I have an EE with Dingo 1.11 and firmware version 1.6.
Thank you for your help!

A couple of things to try:

- Make sure you only hold the Menu and Rotate buttons for about 10 seconds

- Try another USB thumb drive or a microSD card if available (see the last post in this thread: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...134237&page=15)

- Try downloading the Ermine update from another source

Welcome to MobileRead, wanchen_chang!

A couple of things: Are you sure you have the Ermine update for the EE and not for the PE? That's important.

Dingo 1.11 is not the latest Dingo. You might need/want to update Dingo first.

Of course, by now you may have overcome all obstacles and be enjoying your Ermanized EE -- I hope so!
