iLiad reboots constantly!

artur · 07-23-2008, 08:49 AM

I switched off my iLiad and on.
It reboots, white screen, reboots, whitescreen,...
I even cannot input the PIN.

After reseting to whitescreen, and inserting a CF card with the image, it started installing some software.

Then boots normally.

What was the cause? Was it because iRex released something new or it was my fault?

Aftre connecting to the server, it has installed something, and

reboots, reboots, reboots,......

Do you have the developer's package installed?

You may want to go through the steps of reflashing. (see here)

I do not know what is happening. They have sent me version 2.10.(I had 2.12.)
Shell no longer works.

Reflashing reverts you to 2.10. You have to connect to IDS to download 2.12, and then request shell access again.

I do not understand why today my iLiad updated software 5-6 times, downloaded chinese fonts...

Well, it updated sotfware, and reboots, reboots, reboots...

Reflash with CF card, updating software, reboot, connect to iDS.

Downloading software upgrade, installing, reboot, updating, reboot, reboot,..
.

artur · 07-23-2008, 12:00 PM

The settings were removed, maybe I should fill in again.

Downloading upgrade...

Adam B. · 07-23-2008, 01:34 PM

To fix the constant rebooting:

1. Reflash your iLiad and get to 2.10.
2. Backup all files you have on internal memory.
3. Follow the instructions to reflash with the "format" option.
4. Upgrade software to 2.12.

thank you, this sounds reasonable.

I only need a card reader to edit this file.

artur · 07-23-2008, 04:08 PM

Reflashing with format is even worse.
After changing the file config.txt to
format
it still reboots, and reboots...

artur · 07-23-2008, 04:13 PM

I've got the following logfile.txt:

Flash kernel:
Integrity check on kernel

k.
Flash the kernel:
-- Kernel flashed OK --
Flash initrd:
Integrity check on initrd

k.
Flash the initrd:
-- Initrd flashed OK --
Flash application filesystem:
Integrity check on app.image.gz:
ok.
Flash the filesystem:
-- Filesystem flashed OK --

This was usual reflash. And after the change :

Unknown action, do nothing

and again

Unknown action, do nothing

Adam B. · 07-23-2008, 04:26 PM

Was everything deleted form your internal memory? If not, I suspect it's not performing a format.

Try using the attached config.txt

artur · 07-23-2008, 05:19 PM

Thank you. Your file was better (the newline was probably wrong in my file).

I managed to come back to square one: I have 2.12.
