I have the same thought and I also have to recharge me iliad 2 times a day But now I've found if I remove and change some lines then it work as b4. In /etc/network/interfaces with net turn on Code:
# /etc/network/interfaces -- configuration file for ifup(8), ifdown(8) # The loopback interface auto lo iface lo inet loopback auto eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp pre-up modprobe smc91x post-down rmmod smc91x New without net and it works for download firmware and connect to your computer. Code:
# /etc/network/interfaces -- configuration file for ifup(8), ifdown(8) # The loopback interface auto lo iface lo inet loopback auto eth0 iface eth0 loopback |

I noticed that after installing the unbrickable , iliad (v2) will start up much slower. when the progress bar finishes, the light then start blinking for about 25 seconds. (the whole process costs about 70 seconds.) after reflashing via CF, it returns to normal. that is, the light start blinking in the middle of the progress bar and finishes blinking at the end of the progress bar. now the whole start-up takes about 40 seconds normally.

Hmmm - I have just bricked my iLiad. I am very sad I don't quite understand how it happened. First I tried editing start.sh using vi, but couldn't come out cleanly because there is no escape key. Next I edited it offline. To my amazement, even after using vedit plus, the file after transferring back to the unit via the USB stick, came out with nothing in it. After this, I was really worried. So I went back to the original file (which I copied *before* doing any editing!) Being tired, I copied this back to start.sh, and rebooted (so there shouldn't have been any difference.) To my amazement, the device is now hung on the books picture with all of the black progress squares white. I cannot turn it off, it won't reboot. I have tried every possible key combination including the reset button at the back and absolutely nothing responds. Reading your threads, I get the feeling that I have done something which is completely irreversible. Is there any way to replace the start.sh which I tried to edit in /home/root? It is a shame there is no CD Rom to bypass the boot-up and get to the works so that I can repair it! Any ideas?

Thanks to Tomm and Adam! I have got my iLiad back and everything is working, thanks to Adam's clear and easy instructions. It took a bit longer than a few seconds. I now have a lesser firmware version (2.10 I think) - I can no longer connect via wireless, so I am going to have to work a bit to get that back. But believe me, I am so happy to have my machine back, I am ready to do a bit of work to figure out what happened. Thanks guys!

Good news
Good to hear that you have your Iliad working again.
It's Adam B. (not me) you have to thank -- he did all the pioneering work. Best regards Tomm |

Hi All,
Installing this package actually bricked my Iliad. It keeps rebooting itself and no way to stop it. Any ideas how to stop this so I can remove the package? Rather ironic that the package for unbricking the Iliad actually briks it ;-( Regards Guido |
