Was that a serious question?
I don't think any of the older devices will still get updates...

EowynCarter · 01-30-2013, 03:48 PM

True, but not everyone know that. So john's question made sence.

Odysey, all of them. Updating the second one. Or trying too. It seam to to be doing the same thing as with the last update ! Stuck to updating. Seriously, bookeen

WS64 · 01-30-2013, 04:39 PM

No problems here...
The only new thing I notice, there is a new menu setting that allows the Frontlight to remember the light status when you turn it off and on again.

EowynCarter · 01-31-2013, 02:49 AM

Did you do the update via wi-fi ?

I've been trying to revive the cybook, no luck so far.

WS64 · 01-31-2013, 04:13 AM

No, I always do it manually. My advice is to search for errors on the Bookeen. Of course that should happen before the update when the device was still alive...
Others (on a German forum) did it succesfully via WLAN though.
Update took all in all not longer then 15 minutes, I think everything taking longer is not normal.

Zzyzx · 01-31-2013, 04:35 AM

So there still might be an issue with firmware and bricked device? I think I'll wait for a while then.

EowynCarter · 01-31-2013, 05:35 AM

Well, my cybook is definitively bricked.

Not sure, last time it did that. Then finally restarted, updated and all.

Firmware Update Content

Enhanced and record battery life

For all models: A single charge now lasts up to 9 weeks, based on a half hour of reading per day (1 page refresh per minute and wireless off).

Note: Battery life depends on usage, user settings and many other factors.

Faster USB connectivity.

Fixes

Better interaction with Adobe Digital Editions 2.0.
Bookmarks: A single bookmark could be visible twice on 2 adjacent pages.
Some malformed documents (PDF or ePub) could lead to a crash.
Table of content: Shortcut via page header lead to inconsistent level 1 items.
Under particular timings, some events (esp. touch taps or button pushes) could seem to be ignored and were processed with the next event.
Corrupted microSD cards could generate a random behavior or a freeze of the device.
Some USBMS operations could freeze the device when unplugging the USB cable.
Happy e-reading!

Just updated via wifi, no problems. Let's just hope that the no page turn - double page turn bug has been resolved.

That was already fixed in 5.1, so I doubt it came back with 5.2. This is not Kobo!

The Kindle Touch was discontinued yet Amazon updated the firmware.

The Sony T1 was discontinued yet Sony updated the firmware.

Firmware updates do happen for older models. Not as often, but they do. Some may find it annoying to go to the site, log in or register and then find out their device was not the one with the firmware update.

I've had that bug since day one on my Odyssey HD FL. I forgot to check which firmware it had before the upgrade to 5.2 but it can't have been 5.1 then.
