I need to reflash. Where can I get the image?

tesa · 12-02-2007, 06:11 PM

Hi guys
I ve managed to brick my Iliad while trying to install the FBReader registry patch.
The outcome is a black screen, a white stripe with the icons at the bottom and an everblinking green light.

I understand that there is a reflash from CF function on 2.11. I have 2.11 and I have a flash card but I believe I need an image to put there to boot from.
Is it the cf-card-contents.zip file I should be looking for?
If yes is there a link I can download it from or do I have to request it from iRex?
If not where I can get an image?

Any Help will be greatly appreciated.

Vielen Dank Herr Tribble.

(and that is all the German I know apart from "Ein Bier Bitte" I must learn how to say "keep 'em coming")

@TESLA:

You could translate it in:

Lassen Sie das Bier in meinem Glas nicht ausgehen ... ;o)

Same thing happened to me this morning (talk about heart palpitations!). Does anybody know what the problem is with the registry patch?

The sticky thread How to unbrick (reflash, restore, etc) your iLiad in the iLiad Software Releases section describes the flashing. This may helps.

So the reflash worked out fine -phew! - but after that, the Iliad downloaded two huge software upgrades. Am I to assume that the reflash is version 2.10 and everything after that needs to be obtained via upgrade?
Is the latest version of the reflash image 2.11? Should I re-download or is there no point?

Damn - reflash did not work out ok.
After downloading the software upgrade, it's back to almost finishing boot-up, black screen with toolbar, flickering LED. What the hell?

Edit: Problem solved, thanks Adam B. & Tribble!
