The pgaskin firmware is what killed my Glo in the first place. It caused vertical dashed lines to run along the screen during the update, leaving me looking for help flashing the disk. I was trying to update the device to the 2024 firmware in hope it would run smoother than the original fimrware from 2012. I was able to flash the disk and start again. I even tried the firmware update again and it killed the device again. So now all I can do is flash the sd card (I am using a new card now) but cannot get past the registration part. I've spend hours trying to do the SQlite3 trick to bypass the activation - no luck so far.
