My problem is that, as per one of the preceding posts, I copied the "delinquent" update file in the device "disk", and not in the SD (because the update with the external SD wasn't able to do its job).
I tried to forse the update also with a "good" update pack on the eternal SD, but I'm afraid the firmware gives the "internal" storage a priority for the update operation: it seems to me that there should be some stronger flash utility, capable of override the Windows problems and this latter android problem.
Any advice more ?

Hi Andrea,
Actually, whether you ask the device to update from cloud, or from local storage, once the update.zip file is downloaded to internal 'SDCard' or external 'extSD', the ereader will always copy the file to '/cache'. Once the ereader reboots to complete the update, the update will be processed from '/cache'.
So your having copied the 'delinquent' update.zip to internal or external storage doesn't really matter. What matters is, at least in this method (forcing an update via 'back' button) is the 'delinquency' of the file in '/cache', since that's where the ereader is going to process it from.
That's why, in the current situation, we need to find the button combination, which will allow us to boot the ereader into recovery, so that we can manually specify the zip file to be flashed.
Hi Booxtor,
Could you help out please.
We need to find the button combination, which will allow us to boot the M96 into recovery, so that Andrea (Xni) can flash the update.zip file to recover the M96. Thanks.
