Ive tried to upgrade my firmware to 1.4, but it doesnt appear to be updating at all, even though it says it is!!! My SD card is formatted to FAT32 - so it cant be the card (can it??) My GP2X is still on version 1.0!!!!!
 
After the firmware is upgraded you have to go into utilities and run the patch, that adjusts the numbers.
 
did that and it still didnt work!!!I've even tried the robster flasher, it claims success! but its still on version 1.0.1!!!!!
 
Did you say when you boot up the gp2x you get 2firmware upgrading"?
mayby you have a card that cant upgrade firmware.
if you can send it back and say it doesnt work LOL - well only if its the SD cards fault. check out the forum theres a topic on SD cards that work and which ones don't
 
Well, according to the card compatibility list, my SD card IS compatible for the GP2X firmware flashes, so why the hell wont it do it...

It seem to look likes it doing it (Black GP2X screen, Firmware Upgrading Screen, then Green Loading Screen) But it seems to do it very VERY quickly!!!
 
Mine was done very quick <30secs, it works well.
when you go into the movie menu, does it let you change the clock frequency?
 
How about re-downloading the firmware.
delete the firmware stuff on your gp2x
and transfer the newer download to your SD card, mayby you transfer went wrong.
 
Nope, the only thing it changes is the firmware number on the green loading screen, everything else is the same!!!
 
I have no idea. sorry.
How long does it take to upgrade the firmware though? is it take around 30 secs, less than 5?
 
probably less than 5 seconds, same with patching - even the robster flasher wont flash it
 
It was installing a skin that bricked my GP2X, i managed to unbrick it but now i cant update my firmware :(
