PocketBook Update failed

Unfortunately I'm unable to update successfully!

The device is jailbroken and Koreader was installed and just working fine until I updated the device yesterday.

The following can be seen while updating:

The device will turn off in few seconds

I also tried older FW but wit hte same result

Any idea how to solve this problem?

A little help or some hints are very much appreciated, THANKS!

Maybe try uninstalling the jailbreak before updating?

Unfortunately the touch screen is unresponsive and access via ssh doesn't work, but I can access it via USB connection


ssh -p 2222 root@192.168.1.215
Getting ssh: connect to host 192.168.1.215 port 2222: Connection refused

After messing a round a bit it seems to be stuck completely :-(

Screen displays : UPDATING SOFTWARE and progress bar is not updating

[neil_swann80]

Pocketbook 740 color? That has a microsd right?

Make sure you're running the update with the FW file on the internal storage rather than the microsd.

Did you manually disable touch before updating, or has the touchscreen just stopped responding by itself?

According to the extract from the LOG, jalbreak prevents the update, you will probably have to uninstall it first before the update.

In case you are stuck on the update, in my case when the touch screen didn't work, I had to downgrade to a lower version (if you have older firmware, try more)


PS : Maybe you should hide your "Device serial number" in your post
