Beta Test complete on new Firmware Upgrade - Page 6

rrrlakin · 04-15-2010, 07:37 AM

I tried several times.
I deleted the v5setup.bin from the SD,
downloaded a fresh copy.
Nothing.
I charged the battery overnight, tried again.
Nothing.
It would not even start to update when it was attached to the wall adapter.
Finally, after much thinking, I hit the ok button immediately after it recognized the SD.
It worked!
I suspect that it was that things are so quick that it thought that continuing to hold down the page change button was a cancel.
Anyway, it worked!

Hi, does anybody know the status of the 6" new firmware beta testing? This was Robertd's updated on April 6:

The firmware upgrade for the 6 inch is due to Astak this week and then we will thoroughly test it before posting. Hopefully, somewhere around 8 working days from now the 6 inch FI will be posted.

..and since then I haven't seen any update about it or Beta test results. Is it still on schedule and is there any date we can expect it?

Regards,
Dick
