Official new update:

1. Change file system for stable NAND access
Now, it causes longer boot-up time
2. Better Flash engine
Speed improved especially for font-included contents
3. Pop-up for multi-task
4. Hold mode now turns screen off automatically during playing music.
5. Separate version numbering
1.1.0 for Menu, revision 222 for firmware.
6. Additional functions
- Image number on upper-right corner of Photo Viewer (current/total)
- Selectable font size for e-book reader
- Lock icon on main menu for hold mode
7. Miscellaneous internal system fixes

---------------------------------
How to upgrade
---------------------------------


1. Extract and copy files to root folder of your SD
(6 files - polluxb, uImage, uImageUP, update.gz, vfat.img, wiz_ubifs.img)
* You'd better have 1GB freespace for your SD since total size is about 800MB.

2. Insert SD and turn on your Wiz with pressing R button

3. You can release R button after upgrade screeen appeared

4. Upgrade will take about 15 minutes

5. You must re-calibrate your touch-screen; the previous value is initiallized.


The link is already on the other thread by sbock, though: (compressed, 80MB)

I'd like to add, all future Wiz systems will come preloaded with Firmware 1.1.0.
 
Notes to developers who don't have 1GB NAND but want to update: Delete the 700MB vfat.img file before copying to an SD card. It's not needed anyway. Update with the BoB, and when the update fails (several times), press enter via a terminal emu conneted to serial port and it'll succeed. Reboot when it dumps you to a shell prompt.

The bonus is that you only need 100MB of free space on an SD card rather than 800MB :)
 
Thanks for the file archive post sbock :) (Why all these megaupload etc, stick it in EDs! :)

squidge -- PITA! :) I imagine this doesn't address tearing, right?

First attempt at running the upgrade crashed the Wiz - screen turned sideways and went crazy. Left it 20 mins in case it was actually doing anything, but restarting it just brought up the old 1.0.0 firmware. Trying again, and this time I've got a picture saying "Wiz Updating... It takes about 15 min." Hope it works this time...
 
Damn, I have a bit more to skin now haha.

I just updated, the touch screen calibration isn't working. Also, everything in my nand is gone :(

Also, gpSP isn't working.

Ah, goody, my skin works just fine with this update.

Does anyone know if anything regarding the skin has changed?
 
@Squidge

Are you sure the NAND is still vfat? I just logged the update with console und get losts of ubifs messages...

It is typical GPH. Why they didn't suggest NAND back up before upgrading :(

sbock: thanks, it's only thing atm I can contribute for community since F100 :)
 
I found a little change in this update: It seem that the touchscreen test screen is gone. Why? So that nobody can complain about inaccurate touchscreens?
I never had problems with that on my Wiz, but many people reported a dead zone on their screens...

[Edit:]

I'm now pretty sure they use Ubifs for the NAND and not only for the root fs as with firmware 1.0.1.
Here's an excerpt from the boot log:

CODE
UBI: attached mtd2 to ubi1
UBI: MTD device name: "d2"
UBI: MTD device size: 892 MiB
UBI: number of good PEBs: 3568
UBI: number of bad PEBs: 0
UBI: max. allowed volumes: 128
UBI: wear-leveling threshold: 4096
UBI: number of internal volumes: 1
UBI: number of user volumes: 1
UBI: available PEBs: 0
UBI: total number of reserved PEBs: 3568
UBI: number of PEBs reserved for bad PEB handling: 35
UBI: max/mean erase counter: 1/0
UBI: background thread "ubi_bgt1d" started, PID 678
UBI device number 1, total 3568 LEBs (920715264 bytes, 878.1 MiB), available 0 L
EBs (0 bytes), LEB size 258048 bytes (252.0 KiB)
UBIFS: background thread "ubifs_bgt1_0" started, PID 682
FAT: utf8 is not a recommended IO charset for FAT filesystems
 
Upgrage complete, sadly they did not fix the autorun issue. Hopefully it will show up in a later patch, I doubt it would take the guy that's responsible for the menu code more than ten minutes to sort out...

I can't say that I notice the longer boot time, the difference must be negligible.
 
updated smooth no issues here, Flash player is noticably better but when it can run bloxorz fine I'll be happy.
 
I've just updated my firmware with this patch.
But it stayed on the distorted screen for over an hour, until the battery died.
Luckily the firmware was updated (when I finally found my USB lead to charge it).
It all seems OK, all the games etc. on the NAND are still there, but my Quake & Doom saves have disappeared. (Where do they get saved to?)
I copied the NAND onto the PC before applying the update, but they are not in there either.
Any help would be greatly appreciated (as I'd nearly finished both games).
