Iliad connection

Hi,

We have about 17 iliad ereaders here and i don't succeed in updating them.
I have registered on myirex, requested the developer package on iDS for my device and then the website told me to connect the iliad to the internet and it would automatically pick up the update....

None of this seem to happen. I push the connect button and then it just sits there doing nothing... (If i pull out the network cable it tells me iDS is unreachable)
Is this supposed to take a long time? Did i abort it too soon? Is there any indication this thing is doing something??? All I have is a screen that has the flying books on it... and it sits there.

Must say that i basically have no clue which version it's running right now...
in the eReader Settings there is Version Information: OS -0 and FS-21 i have absolutely no idea what this is supposed to mean...
I installed the Iliad Companion Software and even that thing complains that the software on the iliad is too old... (says it's pre 2.9 ...)

Hi,

The last firmware version for the iliad is the 2.12, (2.12.1 for the book edition)
the update doesn't take to long.

You should check your connection configuration. WiFi connection can give problems.

The first time I updated my iLiad via iDS took a long time. I watched it for 3 hours, downloading, re-booting, downloading, then I left it to finish overnight.

Updates depend on the size of the update and the speed of your connection. Make sure you have plenty of charge in your iLiad before you attempt your iDS connection.

Can you do a generic iDS update? see https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho....php?t=41281#4
