Prior to my purchase my google search landed me here, I read every forum multiple times about updating to Ermine.
I had trouble. I did everything exactly as instructed. Went to dustfeet.com and downloaded the PE update from Mark Rehorst. No dice.
Had brand new sandisk micro sd cards in 4g, and two 8g's. I also have older innovera 1gm usb.
I formatted six ways to sunday FAT, EXFAT, FAT 32. No dice.
What I figured out by breaking everything down to it's simplest form....is that I probably cannot read or I just clearly did not understand that the ONLY thing I needed to do was download the following file:
http://dustyfeet.com/edge/p-update.zip.ermine-0.9.zip
and plug in the USB and hold down the Menu and Rotate buttons and then turn the power on to the PE.
Abracadabra. I went from Dingo 1.6 to Android 2.2.1
In reading all of the forums I was under the misunderstanding that I needed the file that was 383mb. I really ONLY needed the 141mb.
My PE could see the larger file, but it did not want it.
I just never came accross the simple baby steps to acquire ermine. I had spent the last week doing all of the disecting by deleting the pdf,. instructions from the download but I clearly did not understand that I did not need the golden update that IS the dingo 1.6.
I am so delighted to finally have the update. A HUGE THANK YOU TO EVERYONE ON THIS FORUM!!!: |
I walked in your footsteps Bumblebum. I did all that you did and then followed your directions and still nothing.
Then, I decided to download the file from dustyfeet using it's full name to my flashdrive, plug it in to my PE and then rename it from the PE instead of renaming it on the flashdrive from my PC. Then I turned off the PE and went through the sequence of holding down the menu button and turning it on. I expected the same as always, but this time I got the updating message!! I still can't believe it!
I am very excited to play with my PE now and am full of appreciation and excitement thanks to everyone's postings that helped me finally get it updated to Android 2.2.1 Woohoo!
