Do we have any data from users who reported automatic 2.1.1 update from desktop or wifi sync? Last edited by kumaryu; 09-12-2012 at 06:19 PM. |

A note about factories.
I'm just guessing on whether the letter is a factory code or not. Considering serial numbers are generally sequential, and assigning blocks of numbers to a factory can lead to problems, it is easier to just tag the serial number with the factory code and let multiple devices have the same numeric part of the serial number. Kobo will probably be using a limited number of factories, all of the devices are most likely being made in Taiwan or China. A number of devices in this thread have a B letter code, these devices were sold all over the world. It's possible that Kobo has a master list of serial numbers and has information regarding things like factory hardware and firmware levels. Or they may have encoded this information in the serial number. The only thing that we know for sure is that it isn't encoded on the 2nd, 4th and 5th fields, as everyone has the same values in those fields. Now I'm wondering what would happen if you changed the serial number to a Japanese version and see if Desktop will download the 2.1.1 software automatically. |

I'm going to shut the computer off for the night now, but tomorrow I'll ask those people on the "Warning" thread who have had updates to 2.1.1 pushed automatically to them if they would contribute their data, too. |

I've been wondering about fish names....
albacore (1.9.14) bowfin (1.9.16) cod (1.9.17) devario (2.0) eel (2.02) The version numbers skip but what appears to be alphabetically sequenced code names don't. This may indicate that those w/ code names in alphabetic order are "official" releases. The download directory for 2.1.1 is "r green". It doesn't appear to be a fish name and is out of sequence.

My guess is that the 2.1.1 firmware is for a particular hardware version. The Japanese devices probably all have this hardware level. These are probably just reaching retail in other areas. We need the info from a Japanese device to see if this agrees with syber's.

Not sure whether this has any relevance but, some time ago, I noted:

Since we can assume that the original models used iMX508, and the specs featuring iMX507 only appeared in 2012 (Spring), the change-over must have happened at some point between the oroginal release and JP launch. Last edited by kumaryu; 09-13-2012 at 05:08 AM. |
