Hotfix questions

[jabz]

Received my Pandora couple of days ago. The boot screen doesn't show Hotfix5, so can I check via terminal issuing a uname -r or cat /etc/issue? What does it show for hotfix ver?


I have installed a lot of PND and roms on the SD, but hardly modified any settings. So should I install Hotfix 5 by flashing or PND?

It should show your HF version on boot, as explained in this thread.


The method of updating should not affect the contents of your SD card, but you can always use a seperate one if it worries you. For more info, see the wiki page.

Nope I dont get the "Please Wait" screen on boot. I get the Pandora logo on boot, then the progress bar screen with the Angstrom release 1, then a white screen with a mouse in the middle. Then the GUI.


I'll update via the PND

jabz mate, shut down your Pandora and then boot it up again...you'll now see a splash loading screen with the www.openpandora.com url and Powered by Ångström words on there. Well, the top right you'll see the HotFix number as well. This is all assuming that you're running the latest HotFix, which is HotFix 5.

Does this mean that HF4 and previous didn't show their version on boot? If so, then We can safely assume that jabz is/was running HF4.

To be honest, I only recently got my Pandora, so the only thing I know is HotFix 5, which I ran as soon as I received my Pandora.

I did pull the battery and did a cold boot, the splash screen had no "hotfix x" text.


Well since then I have loaded Hotfix5...

So, there we have it! It's only since HotFix 5 that they've implemented that.
