It's time to remove the back cover and start playing with new firmware again.

Anyone know if Coredump is still around and want to give this firmware a try?

Cheers

Let me know how it goes if you flash it.

Thanks! I think I'll try it later on. Let you know how it goes

I tried at least 3 or 4 times and keep getting an exclamation point during loading, what am I doing wrong?

It seems to be hit and miss. It took me many tries to flash this. I had to replace the internal micro sd card because the one I had was already partitioned for a2sd.

So my suggestion:
1. use a newly formatted card for the flash
2. use an internal card that has not been partitioned for a2sd.

As I said this may not work because I have not figure out why the flash works sometime but not others.

I actually tried a formatted card internally also, and got the same thing. Oh well, guess I'll just have to wait.

The exclamation mark suggests issues with the firmware itself. Have you tried redownloading the firmware again?

Actually, I don't really need anything done at this time. It's always good to get rid of apps that you don't need in the new firmware and repack it.

Cheers

I just re-flashed using the suggestions that hiaig posted and it worked right off.
But now do I have to re-install ie. Launcher pro and other apps?
I replaced my 4gig internal and re-booted, got the new splash screen and then it went into the "ANDROID" screen and just blinks the "ANDROID" every two or three seconds.
I'll try a re-flash and let you know.

Ok, I took the 4gig card(one fat32 partition, one ext3 partition for a2sd) out, replaced the clean 2gig (one fat32 partition) and it boots up all the way. Re-installed Launcher pro, I still get the stylized tree for the very first screen and then it goes into the Launcher pro home screen just fine.
I also re-installed ram-droid and check my memory after each app I re-install, I only use a few apps, I may not have to use a2sd.
Let me know how you guys did with your re-flash. BTW did anybody re-flash the Repack img?
Another question is where are the google apps in this upgrade?

I tried to reflash the repack but it reverts you back to 2.0.3. As far as the Google apps goes, since the device is not sanctionned by Google, you have to find and install the apps yourself.

Canèt promise anything but I will see if I can update the repack with the beta.

hiaig · 03-29-2011, 10:22 PM

I'll try the google apps sometimes tomorrow and will report back.

Cheers

In case anybody is looking at the calendar it is now June, 2011 and still no Froyo... I don't think that the IQ will ever see Honeycomb, so Froyo is not going to be irrelevant....

I got an email from Pocketbook about a month ago indicating they would not go beyond Android 2.1. So there will be no Froyo firmware update for the IQ.
