Thanks for the links and info. I haven't tried powered yet as Andy got his card reader working without that. Host diagnostic app also reported not working.,
I got a little impatient and went ahead and tried the update before backing up. The february '16 update started to load but partly failed and ended up at recovery screen. I did a reboot and it loaded with the new boyue UI. No,OTG though so I thought I'd try an earlier update and see if that fully installed. I loaded the August '15 update and that fully loaded but at reboot it got stuck in a boot loop. So now i'm trying to do a factory reset hoping the original firmware will be on the recovery partition. Only problem is that I cannot get the menu to appear in recovery mode.,I have tried all key combinations using power and the two page buttons. I am also trying using adb with the shell reboot wipe data command but the shell is not available in recovery mode. I sent a mail to,Artatech asking what the key sequence is to hard reset the device as I am sure there must be a way for the typical end user.,
I'm doing all this as an experiment as I want to run an app when I fly my paraglider. So if all fails its,no big loss for me. For sure a good learning experience on android though. ☺
cheers
