Firmware Updated ..movie Player Screwed

[Bobafeet]

Hi all need a bit of help, followed the instructions on firmware update's to the letter,now my gp2x will not play movies that previously worked ,and they are good batteries

 

[wiggythebrave]

I've got the same problem. I've been watching movies all morning without any problems. Now, I get the sound, and a screen full of thick green and black lines.

same here makes me want to cry ;_;

 

[Bobafeet]

that's right a little pissed

I've heared that if you only update you movie player via the Utility Menu but you don't update the kernel with the img (maybe becasue it doesnt supprt you sd card) then this happens.

So update the kernel

 

[Shane R. Monroe]

The firmware upgrade happens automatically when you boot ... you DO however, have to go into UTILITY and select the patch file ...

That fixes everything

 

[Bobafeet]

did both !!

 

[Eolair]

Are you guys getting the new loading screen which confirms a successful update? Otherwise keep trying.

 

[Yuglooc]

wow, thats ugly

 

[unlucky]

I'm completely out of things to try my card simply doesn't work with it so i've got a movie player that doesn't work with no way of updating the firmware ;_;

 

[Bobafeet]

I know what you mean mate

"Fixes:

1. better compatibility with SD cards"


Great eh? The people who really need that fix can't update 'cos they need the fix.

Mines the same, Updated in utility but couldnt update the img image as it doesnt work. Which is a bit crap really, how are we spose to update if most of the SD cards dont work.... I dont feel like going out and buying a SD card just to flash.

 

[wiggythebrave]

Why don't we ask GPH to send out working SD cards to McDonalds we could all call in for a Big Mac and update our GP2X's at the same time.

Sorry for the sarcasm, but I'm really fed up.

 

[WhizzBang]

followed the instructions on firmware update's to the letter

​

Where did you find your instructions? There weren't any with the download in English, so I am not sure what to do. Is there anybody here who has successfully done this that is prepared to write a step by step guide?

 

[torpor]

i've had a look at the gp2x, and i can tell you for sure that the "SD problems" can be fixed in firmware.. open source firmware..

just relax. consider the firmware a living thing.

 

[Jarska333]

It's eating the 2X from inside out!

 

[reallynotnick]

Well gosh, it this new firmware even worth it?

 

[Vimacs]

the firmware is nice and there arent any problems with it as long as you dont make a error.
if you run the update gpu before the firmware is flashed you get that problems, so only run it when you see

and then

 

[daclassicgamingmaster]

so.....then put the new firmware on my compatible SD and upgrade. I should see the 2 above images. then I go into utilities and update the gui? I dont want to brick my unit, and I want to continue with movies unscathed.

I also need a download link. sorry if i missed it, i was in skool all day and just came home to read like 1000000 posts.

thanks

edit: got the link, but still need my other questions answered so i dont fuck up my unit.

thanks again
