Tolino Update 15.2.0 is here
Today (2021-11-30) the new firmware update was offered to my Tolino Vision 5 and apparently also other devices (ref.: https://forum.alles-ebook.de/thread/...update-15-2-0/).
Quick glance:

EDIT: So far at least, these upgrades only apply to the newer Tolinos. The Vision 6 15.2.0 upgrade is NOT to be used on any other reader, with the warning that it will damage them. The other readers that will accept the "normal" 15.2.0 upgrade are the Epos 2, Vision 5, Shine 3 and Page 2. I wonder if this will be the end of upgrades for the older readers? https://mytolino.com/software-updates/ Last edited by rcentros; 11-30-2021 at 06:05 PM. |

The old readers will continue to get updates, this was made clear during a recent interview with the Tolino tech people. |

AOSP 4.4.2, actually, at least for the Vision 5. See screenshots in 1st post.
Except for the Shine 1. (Frank Bauer, tech head, same interview). But it’s a perspective, at least. If only they’d fix some bugs … |

How to re-enable ADB, debug and Android menus—starts around here (in German, long thread).
Not for the faint-of-heart, but works for 15.2.0 Tolino Vision 5, most probably soon for Vision 6 (different Android), and should also work for EPOS 2, Shine 3 and Page 2. Adaptions might be needed for non-Linux PCs. |

Personally I'm happy with the firmware where I am, but Tolino now nags you at every opportunity until you upgrade. (Just checked and the Shine 2 is already nagging me to upgrade.) |

I read a few pages on the Shine 2 after installing the update last night and didn't immediately notice any changes, but I didn't look at all the settings etc. |

The one thing I wish they would change in a future update would be to make it possible to save history/passwords so that I don't have to reenter my Overdrive library info every time. I'm not worried about security since there is no financial or other sensitive information tied to that account.

Interesting!
I wonder if it's worth the risk to update to 15.2.0? Mine is a Vision 4HD and it's in 14.1.0 now, and I have followed some guides here to "root" and install koreader as well as TWRP bootloader on it. Has anyone install Koreader on your Tolino and be able to update firmware without issue? |
