I have sent a PM, but I don't actually know if you need it. Why did you take the card out of the device? The firmware is designed to be updated in place by copying a file to it and letting the device unpack it during a restart. That's all automatic. Trying to do that on the card when it is a PC is possible, but I don't think it would be worth it. Of course, if you have been fiddling, then it's likely you need the image now even if you didn't before you started (and yes, I have done said fiddling

And as PeterT said, some Glo's had a 4GB card but only the first 2GB formatted. You can safely expand the book partition or use a larger card. 16GB will work, some 32GB cards work. I don't remember if people have used a 64GB card in a Glo successfully.
