It is simply not accessing the USB drive long enough to do anything more than error out.

"Golden" doesn't even display "updating"; it just keeps rebooting after the third dot is lit.

My brain is fried for the night, but I am beginning to think my file system is F'd or something similar. Any way to do a low-level format or a way to get in and clean the system partition, etc. Perhaps reset the MBR? Any direction to move me forward would help.

TIA!
OK. Start by reading https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=145540 starting at page 5 post #62 and on then go to https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=154567 and yes it does require a little work on your part to make the serial cable but once done you should be set up if any more problems occur.

I assume your not being able to use the golden update is because the version of Android you now have on your PE does not recognise the pressing of the two buttons as a signal to start the update process - hence your need to use the serial method.
