Many thanks to FOV for posting this material. I updated my Boyue T-62+ using the update.img file for the T-62D that FOV posted. I had been waiting patiently for something like this, because I was trying to avoid the hassle of swapping out the entire Boyue OS, which is fine except for its battery management, for an Onyx or ES etc. Thanks for this.

It shuts down, by itself, on a clock setting now, which is huge improvement--I'll have to observe it for a day or two to see how the sleep function (independent of shut-down) affects battery life. [ update 29 Nov: The sleep function works fine, now too. This update fixes what I rated as the major problem with the previous software.] Does anybody know why the OTA update function for the T-62D never showed this update? I checked the T62's OTA update function (I know that it is "manually" operated) often (even yesterday, coincidentally), but it always said "Nah. Got Nuttin'." I note this image dates from 28 September (the file saved date). How did FOV find it, out of curiosity? (I had been looking).
