I have a frozen Aura Edition 2, that doesn't factory reset. Would a reflash of the SD card help? Can someone share instructions and the image with me please? Thanks a million

Hi,
I also have a dead sd card, could you send me the image ?
Is it the same image for both mark6 and 7 hardware ?

Thanks

No, they use different images. The only way to tell is from the serial number. The first version has a "0" in the 7th character of the serial number and the second version has a "2".

Hi Davidfor,

Could you please also send me the image? For an Edition 2 with serial number N236780577893?

And does it require any special instructions to put it on the card?

Thanks a million!

Sorry if this is the third post in a row, I keep having trouble to post on this forum.

Would like you to ask if someone could please share the image for an Aura 2 with S/N N236780577893?

Are there any special instructions needed to upload the image to the SD card?

You need to write the image to the card. You can look at URL="https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=209122"]Memory Upgrade Mod Guide[/URL] for some ideas. That is for the Glo, but the basic steps and tools are the same.

Thanks,

I have a mark6 version then (0 as the 7th character of the SN).

Could you please send me the image for this one ?

Thanks

Hi David, would you have an SD image for the Aura 2 for me? I´ve got one that shut down during an update.
It has an 8GB SD card instead of the 4, not sure if that matters?

I don't know if that helps to work out which of the two Aura Edition 2's the device is. The specs say 4GB for both. I don't know if the later one is more likely to have an 8GB card. The way to tell is from the serial number. The first version has a "0" in the 7th character of the serial number and the second version has a "2".

Hi David, thanks for your reply.
Is the serial number the one on the sticker on the circuit board? Starting with (IG)? Then it´s a 0, so first version.

I don't know if the serial number is on the board anywhere. But, it should start with the model number, N236. If you have it open, there are other ways to tell. The CPU for the second version is the i.MX 6SLL. There may be a date somewhere. The version 2 was released in late 2017. Anything after that will be version 2, anything before it, version 1.

This is weird, my replies keep disappearing. Hope this one gets through.

Love it when they make multiple versions within an edition
I found a date on the inside but it´s september 2017 so that´s not super clear. The CPU isnt the i.MX though, and I just found the serial number (on the side): RN236*601****. So strictly speaking it´s the 8th character but it def is a 0.

So Aura, 2nd edition, version 1
