accidentaly installed Onyx Boox i62HD firmware on the firefly. How to rollback? - Page 2

fraylocus · 12-21-2012, 07:33 AM

Indeed, this rescue firmware solves the problems of corruption.
But it is not fully functional. The CoolReader, for example does not operate.
It would be necessary to issue a firmware update to solve this problem. Although it is the same that was bringing Firefly installed.

A greeting. -

Is this zipfile password protected?

With the M92, it's not necessary to unzip the update file. Put the file on your SD and try to start the update.

It's the same in i62hd (non firefly ) unzip is not needed. So it would be the same in Firefly

I'd like to study the files in there. Therefor I'd like to open and extract the file. So if anyone has the key...

Randy11 · 12-21-2012, 04:09 PM

Hi Booxtor, Thanks for the fast help with the 'glowing' problem

Can't wait to try it out, but Will have to. My HD from my pc just died, so first have to fix that, but hope to have the firefly glowing again before christmas. I'll let you know if i succeed. Happy hollidays!

Greetings

Dear all

I had a Tagus Lux device (Onyx Firefly clone, selled by a local Book Store called "Casa del Libro" in Spain). It comes with a nice interface, but based old 1.7 onyx firmware, with tons of bugs
A few days ago, some prepared a update.zip file based on the current Onyx Firefly firmware, on a spanish forum

http://www.lectoreselectronicos.com/...igth%29/page38

It was tested by some brave users, and they realize it is fully functional, improving or solving bugs. But the guy who prepared the file, showing their best intentions to provide a clean system, linked your recover firmware
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/23593310/Up...e-20120930.zip

proposing to install it before the update.

The result... I tryed it, and my device freezes before finish load, showing status bar full, but freezing and blue light remains on. When I try to update the firm using the update.zip file (tested by other guys, and working ok -thy upload pictures of their devices), the device shows the message "Software update requested...." but after few seconds "No update found, booting device". It remains freezed here, too, with blue light on. Never reboots.
My device is unusable now, as it doesn't boot neither let you update with any firmware... I have also tried to access it trough USB...but any Windows/Linux system detects it.

Could anyone provide any advice...? I'hve even dissasemble it, and found the emmc chip where the data partitions are stored (kingston KE4CN2H5A), but no way to acces it...

Thanks you in advance!

PubliDD, the same happens to me today (I'm spanish too), I did the same thing, and I'm trying to install this firmware many times, but nothing happens.
Have you got any solution to our problem already?

Randy11 · 04-16-2013, 07:38 AM

Have you tried the firmwares gived by Booxtor for the Firefly ?

neilayla · 04-16-2013, 11:10 AM

Yes, I did. It was the first step I take yesterday. But thank's for your help

vihar · 04-17-2013, 11:25 AM

Bricked device
It happened to me too.
Someone has a solution?

neilayla · 04-17-2013, 11:40 AM

I've send the ebook to Booxtor yesterday, he says can bring my firefly to life again

The only sad thing is how I miss it!!! But I have his little brother (the i62HD without moonligth) and I'll use my time reorganiziting my book's collection.

But, anyway, I don't know what it's necessary to do, for reparing my ebook. I didn't find any solution searching on the net.

Rutger · 05-11-2013, 12:41 PM

Me too,

Device seems not to see any updates any more.

Power on Holding back button.

Splash screen: 4* 3d puzzel pieces (... is that correct ? )

Looking for updates....
no updates found booting device. (system hangs)

now what?
