Hi I managed to fix my
elonex eb600 the new firmware with the check for eb600e and eb600em didn't work at first then i modified the initial script:- i got rid of the test at the beginning of the script to check if it has eb600e or eb600em and set the outcome of test to eb600e ( i think this is the right way around its along time ago now).
The test for eb600e or eb600em doesn't check the hardware but tests for previously installed software. As i used the first firmware update which installed the wrong firmware, the new update got the wrong model from the check.
Belated thanks
I tried to get the gpl source code from elonex but they have just ignored me so i sent another request cc to violations.org.They followed up asking me extra information about gpl violation ie how do i know the problem is i am now running cool-er firmware which i think is identical.Does anyone have the elonex eb600 and can confirm that on one of the dialogs states that software
is gpl and available on request.

Thanks Tony

Hi Tonyv,

I own cool-er and i was trying to install COOLER-vfat-eb600em-0203, but i had no luck and now it's just nor launching.
What will you recommend - reflash again with different SD or try different software i.e. shinebook-eb600?

Cheers
seb.
