(Alternatively, it's been updated and uploaded as-is in @BD's release thread).

That should basically resolve all your troubles .

Note that if by "reset", you mean "factory reset", you will *have* to reinstall the factory fw, because that reset will switch a factory FW to a production one.
Hi All,

@NiLuJe, sorry I should have been more clearer that the file I used was the main-htmlviewer.tar.gz both from the tarball and from BD's release thread.

However, after reading your post I think I know where it went all wrong.

what I did wrong was to 'factory reset' 5.7.4 while desperately attempting to get main-htmlviewer.tar.gz (v 1.1) to work. When you pointed me to the snapshot (V 1.2) the device was now running the production FW. Basically I was now trying (V 1.2) on production FW.

What I need to do is to re-install factory FW 5.7.4 and run main-htmlviewer.tar.gz from BD's release thread

Am at work at the moment so I will try that when I get home and I will report back.

Thanks
