firmware update

[jaba]

Hi

I`ve bought my PH recently, I would like to update my firmware. On the PH Maintenance screen says that the firmware version is

01-15-080124-14-POP-402-077

Kernel version is

14-POP

What firmware should I install? Can I download it to a pendrive and then connect it to the PH?

Thanks

Thanks werner, I`ll do that.

To update the firmware want should I do next? Insert the pendrive into the PH and then run the firmware?

I`ve tried this once and the PH blocked!

here an howto how you should make it.

1.) Download the firmware package from popcornhour.com
2.) extractusbupdate.html, syb8634.nmt and 1-17-080612-15-POP-402-000 to the root of your usb pendrive
3.) Plug in the USB Pendrive and go to Source on your Popcornhour
4.) now you see the 4 symbols Video, Music, Photo and File take File (the 4 th icon)
5.) open the usbupdate.html with "ENTER" and when the site is loaded press again "ENTER" the Firmware Update starts now. (Dont turn it off also when it hangs on an %)
6.) when its done the unit will reboot


7.) after Reboot normaly when you have an hdd built in the NMT Setup Wizard should show up
8.) take Fresh Install if it is the first time and you wanna format the HDD or take Typical Install if you wanna update the Apps
9.) When it asks you about the Source then dont take online take USB and the formatting and installing should start
10.) when its done the device will reboot again
11.) Now all is Uptodate

When the NMT Setupwizard dont shows up then start your Popcorn and go to "Maintenance" and then on the right start the "NMT setup wizard" then you can go from Point 8 - 11

This methode you can also use when you wanna install an older firmware and older apps.

Well, from point 1 to 6 all went well. As I don`t have an internal HD, i don`t know if the other 5 steps are made but on the Maintenance menú the NMT setup wizard did not appear.

if you dont have an hdd inside then this steps are not needed or better say there is then no way to start it so all is fine now

Thanks for the help werner! A great cheers from Portugal!

I have done every one of my up and downgrades (probably 20+) from a share. When I watch the steps I think the PCH copies the firmware to the ram disk and then does a crc check so I don't see how the source can be any different from the point of view of risk.

i only see some posts on the german forum and also here and maybe i interpret it wrong but for me i never will use it that way be happy that it works for you without any problem
