Boyue T80 - need help

Kirek50 · 01-14-2018, 11:55 AM

I recently bought a Boyue T80 e-reader from China and I have a lot of problems with it. First of all, it hangs during reading (using all available applications -CoolReader. FReader, FB Reader, Moon etc.). It happens that it will restart.
Compilation v1.0.0-2017010614
As a system language, I use Polish.

I have a great request for help. Are there any patches for this firmware? Is there another, alternative firmware? Maybe there are some configuration methods to eliminate or limit hangs?

I will be grateful for every help and hints.

Update to the latest firmware and the device will stop locking up while reading. You can get instructions in this thread on how to update your device.

Hmmm... The provided updates are specifically developed for the T80s only. My reader is T80 model and it seems to me that I have the latest firmware installed - v1.0.0-2017010614. I have not found a new one.

I'm sorry I apparently sent you to the wrong update. I had the same error you are reporting but it was for the newer T80s.

Does nobody really use T80?

It looks like you are correct and do have the latest firmware. Maybe someone in this thread knows a work around.

I was using this version for a long time and it was working pretty well: http://my-midia.com/en/inkbook-8-4/

How I understand, you use this version for the Boyue T80? Correct? Is it installed as described on this page about InkBook 8? Will not I damage my reader in this way?

No, it was installed on Inkbook 8, but the only difference between Inkbook 8 and Boyue T80 is the painted logo. I don't remember how exactly I've installed it - any method should work. Of course before installing a new firmware I always make a backup of my current one (but I don't think I've ever needed it after the installation).

Sorry to restart an old thread but maybe someone will be able to help me. I used the Inkbook 8 update to try fix up some ongoing problems on my Icarus Illumina XL, a risky thing to do but not so bad as I have a perfectly running T80D (Mars) so worth the risk. The update worked other than a fixable language problem but while it fixed my previous page turning problem it has rendered the dictionary inoperative. It appears that the system references a directory called Quickdic instead of Dict and has an app called Quickdic which sorts this out. Does anyone know where I can get a conventional latest system update for the Boyue T80 rather than the Inkbook 8 one?
