New firmware - Page 23

Have you tried to do a hardreset and after that reset installing the firmware again?

darkforce · 08-14-2010, 04:20 PM

No, not yet. I plan to keep on 15.2 for a while.
Thanks for advice, Ulli. I'll try hard-reset + reinstall firmware later.

Any news on a release of an upgrade for the PB302? And will this include the announced writing app?

This should probably be a completely separate post. Since this thread is just regarding firmware. Just an FYI. Might not get your question answered in here.

I think adbosch might mean a firmware upgrade, such as version 15.3 which is due to come this month, including a keyboard driver and a text processor.

Nevertheless, it'll be necessary to ask of Mobileread's A&M (admins and mods) that they allow to put tags before posts, just like other subforums have device-specific tags. With 5 new readers, the catalogation of posts might get messy otherwise.

Yep, we will most probably do this.

Has the list of compatible keyboards been determined yet? I'd like to get my ducks in a row for its arrival.

Now if only it had a video out of some sort, I could use it for presentations too

guyanonymous · 09-05-2010, 11:40 AM

Any info/details that can be shared about 15.3 yet? New Apps or versions of apps? Functionality? How's the keyboard stuff?

Logseman · 09-07-2010, 09:06 PM

From the German part of the forum, something which might be of interest has yet appeared... how about beta versions of the new firmware?

302:
http://pocketbook-global.com/downloa...u_ws_15_3b.zip

360:
http://pocketbook-global.com/downloa...0_ru_15_3b.zip

301's file is seemingly corrupt, i'll post it later. The 360 zip file has a file called "freeze01.bat" or something like that: as tou can guess I've got no idea what it does. The firmware gets installed in the very same way as the rest of versions though:

Is this offically released firmware or just the one they are currently beta testing? I'm holding off until we hear how good or bad this one is. 15.2 is still driving me up the wall, I really should just go back to 14.2.

Logseman · 09-07-2010, 09:11 PM

Not officially released. I want to stress the beta character of this firmware.

Doh! You even had it in bold and everything, sorry

I don't read German, what are the beta testers' thoughts on the new firmware to date? Good/bad/promising?

mdmorrissey · 09-08-2010, 06:18 AM

Indecisive, did you get your problem straightened out? As I recall it was similar to mine. I got a replacement and 14.2 and it has been ok, but recently it has started having trouble opening. At first I thought it was a DRM "problem" with overdue library books, but that's not it. I'm certainly not going to go beyond 14.2 until a better version has been declared 100% reliable, since even 14.2 is not 100%. Is this too much to ask for a device that costs 239 euros? I think not. I would like to know if the Sonys and Kindles and other devices have problems like this. I haven't scoured all the forums here.

I honestly think my problems are firmware related, so I haven't been to concerned just yet. I have noticed in the last couple of days that it seems to reboot more often if one of the wing buttons is used to turn the page. I usually alternate between the D-ring and both wing buttons (for comfort), so at the moment I am trying to just use the D-ring and see how I go.

IndecisiveMe · 09-08-2010, 07:51 AM

I'm having HUGE difficulty installing this new firmware update. I've done everything like I've done it before. I've:

- downloaded the file above for the 360
- unzipped and extract the file
- transferred it to the root directB360 off
- I've held the centre button and the upper wing button while pushing the start button

(it's plugged into my laptop all the while)

Now instead of going through the firmware here, it keeps starting the reader. I've deleted the firware update from the card multiple times. I've downloaded the file twice to make sure I downloaded the right one. I've rebooted my laptop.

I even went so far as to delete the file off the card and put it in the root directory of the device itself (which I had to do when I first got it because I didn't have a card).

I can't think what else to do, I've literally been trying to do this for nearly an hour and a half. I'm wondering if there is something wrong with my upper wing button. I noticed yesterday that most (if not all) of my reboots (every 10-20 pages with 15.2) happen when I use the upper button to turn the page.

Does anyone have any suggestions? I'm extremely close to going back to factory settings to see if that helps.

I had trouble installing the last update as well, but at least that time I was getting the firmware messages. This time it's not even giving me that. It goes from off to the boot logo.

Help?
