please help me!
having purchased another gp2x mk2 i decided to upgrade to 2.1.1 on both machines
the first one worked fine
so i tried the other unit using the same method (via sd card)
the unit just hangs on the firmware upgrading screen and nothing else has happened for more than 1 hour now
do i have a brick or is there a way to fix this
thanks

how recent is your newest unit? i would have thought it came with Firmware 3? If so maybe you needed to downgrade to FW 2 first then upgrade to FW 2.1.1?

otherwise did you format your SD card and have full battery power when flashing?

cheers

Upgrade to 2.0.0, then patch it to 2.1.1

That should clean things up :)

the second unit was from ebay not brand new
but now the problem is solved
my brother is an IT wizzard (the other unit is his) and he just re formatted the card and hey presto upgraded 1st time
thanks for the response to my post
