Anyone care to comment on the changes (changelog) for this release?
I would do it myself, however while flashing I goofed (User Error I'm sure) I think I hit the reset button at the second the bootloader recovery started...all I can get it to do is charge itself. But thats a different story.
What is this upgrade? Doesn't appear to be froyo yet?
Neither of the links seems to work now. I also tried going direct to the site and running their updater. Yesterday I flashed OPDN v2.0.0 GAPPS and then the OPDN v2.0.2 Incremental, but when I go into About PD Novel within Settings, it says the Firmware version is S20_09_30_B_PD_INX7E_ENG_6410POP. The flash I did last night certainly appeared to work. Anyway, when I run the Pandigital Updater today, it fails in the second step where it tries to validate my WPDN. A screenshot of the error message is attached.
The download links working fine for me here.
Your running the old OP "Kit"
If you want the new SH20 FW, Go to Mark's link for the direct file download or dealpapa's in the first post.
Download to your computer and put it on your external SD card and flash. Note that your internal microSD card will be split in half, and this FW must be flashed twice when coming from 2010 FWs
The PD upgrader should be able to identify your WPDN once you get the upgraded FW. (YMMV)
Hot dog!! B&N reader is fixed - now reopens books retaining changes that were made during previous reading (like font size change). For that alone it's worth the upgrade to me
This one (03/02/11) seems to be the best of all the 2011 releases so far. I let it sleep on a full charge over night. I woke it this morning and found I only lost 1 bar of charge and wifi reconnected after about 15 seconds. Yay!
I believe boot looping occured when you tried to revert back to one of the 2010 FW from one of the 2011 FW.. kewlguy has a script that you can run to prevent it if you should need to go back, but updating to the 2011 fw will not boot loop.
Maybe I'm not understanding your question.. were you thinking of another situation?
Hmmm..
My replacement WPDN is apparently at the house waiting for me...
Wondering.. Do I update it from the Pandigital site all the way first, and then add the addons (Android Market, root with busybox, etc), or should I wait until the addons are tested with this release???
I know the addons aren't full firmware flashes, but they were built with the other OP in mind.... Hmmmm...
I wonder why Pandigital doesn't post change notes for their firmware upgrades? Maybe they do and I haven't been able to find them. Their site is pretty anemic.
Oh well, any manufacturer that posts the firmware to root their own device is ok in my book.
@davidr: Do you mean font size? That was the big one for me and that holds. I did notice that it still doesn't maintain lock in vertical position so it wouldn't surprise me if other settings might not hold as well.
If you unlock the lock it will hold during the session.. but not to another session after a shut down.
Strange.. I can't get font size or night/day to persist past a re-start..?? That was the only reason I upgraded form 1/27.. and it didn't benefit me.. oh well..!
I just updated both of my PDN's to this new FW. The first was running the 2/15 modified with gapps and my second PDN was running the Cruze FW. Both upgraded as expected with their own updater. My 8GB internal is still recognized at half capacity (wish it was fully recognized, paragon partition manager will help with that). Wifi is fixed and I can finally connect when resume from sleep. The battery life is greatly improved. Both of my PDN were version 1 with the video pausing bug, now fixed completely, I can watch full videos with no lag or pausing. Angry Birds still has rendering issues (white blocks and slow/freezing performance).B&N fixed. Seems to have a lot of under the hood fixes. Animations are actually smooth and not choppy (pulling down notification bar, open app drawer, screen popups).
IMO, it is definitely worth the upgrade for those using Pandigital's open firmware.
