Aqua 2 not booting - SD image wanted

Aqua · Yesterday, 03:34 AM

Hi,

Like others through this forum I've bricked my PocketBook by reformatting the internal micro SD card.
It went from not showing up in Finder on Mac, to being stuck on the hourglass, to not booting at all, after deeper and deeper resets on my part.

I've gone through many threads but haven't found a disk image of the Aqua 2, PB641. Is there a kind PB Dweller out there who could share it?

Board: PB641 v1.2 (20170316)

I got close in an old 4pda.to thread but the shared files were expired.

Appreciate any help!

By reformatting, do you mean via USB Mass Storage or by removing an internal SD card and reformatting that? If the former, you might be able to get it booting again without needing an image from anyone else. If the device takes an external SD card, you could try putting a firmware update file on that and installing it by holding down the proper buttons when rebooting. If it boots after that, you can reformat the internal partition from the system utilities menu.
