Revision as of 05:46, 25 May 2012
In general it's possible to apply hotfixes to any lower firmware versions without installing all previous hotfixes.
Contents
SuperZaxxon Hotfixes
As of 2012-05-24, SuperZaxxon is still in beta. Hotfixes for SuZa may be published later.
Zaxxon Hotfixes
The original Zaxxon firmware has been updated with a number of Hotfixes. Since then, a newer firmware called SuperZaxxon has been released.
Warning: If you do not have Zaxxon installed (boot screen says SuperZaxxon or something else), do not attempt to install any of these hofixes, doing so will break the system.
Hotfix 6
- Information and discussion (2011-10-10)
- Full flash update (will delete all prior user settings; useful if you've screwed something up and are not sure of how to fix it)
Bugs and solutions
In general, the latest information about bugs will be on the official bugtracker; that is also the best place to go report a bug.
PNDs won't run
So you can start Xfce, but you can no longer run any programs or switch to Minimenu since you upgraded to HF6?
This can easily be solved without a reflash.
- valhalla This problem is because of version 1.0-r58.5 of the pandora-scripts package that includes some files that it should not have included and conflicts with the new version of pandora-libpnd. That version is installed at least in HF5rc2.
- Open a terminal in the location where you put your HF6 update PND. In the default file browser, you can do this by right-clicking in the folder where the PND is, and selecting "open terminal here". For example, if you put it on your desktop (
/pandora/desktop), the text in the terminal to the left of your cursor should look something likeusername-openpandora:/media/pandora/mmcblk0p1/pandora/desktop$ - Type in
sudo mkdir /mnt/pndand press "enter". If it asks you for your password, type in what you use to log in to your Pandora, then press "enter". - Type in
sudo mount -o loop HF6-Updater.pnd /mnt/pndand press "enter" - Now we'll go to the packages directory in the PND and reinstall a couple of packages. Type in
cd /mnt/pnd/packages/other/and press "enter" - Type in
sudo opkg install pandora-libpnd_1.0-r56.5_armv7a.ipkand press "enter" - Type in
sudo opkg install pandora-skel_1.0-r9.5_omap3-pandora.ipkand press "enter" - To unmount the PND, type in
sudo umount /mnt/pndand press "enter". If it says it can't unmount it, just restart your Pandora. - That's it, your Pandora should work again!
