Although my new 360 came loaded with the latest firmware, my playing around with it disorganized it somewhat, though it's still functioning fine, and I thought it would be nice to start from scratch by reflashing the firmware.

I'm an old hand at reflashing the many different firmware versions available for the BeBook One, where the flashing process is similar though not entirely identical to that for the 360.

I've read the many varied instructions for flashing the 360 firmware, which are not entirely in agreement with each other. One says you can download the firmware update and put it in EITHER the main memory or the SD card, and another specifies the SD card only. Anyway, I downloaded and extracted the bin file, and tried reflashing successively from the SD card and the main memory. Neither worked. (And pressing three buttons simultaneously was no fun. The BeBook requires pressing only two buttons simultaneously) I even removed all the titles I had on the SD card and reformatted it, so it was "virgin" when I put the bin file on it. Anyway, nothing worked. Now, with the BeBook some instructions require that you only use a one gig SD card, but I see no similar limitations in the PocketBook instructions. The micro SD card I am employing is an eight gig SDHC card. Is that perhaps my problem? It works fine containing my book titles. Anyway, I've tried various methods again and again with no success. Anyone out there have any further advice for me?
