    Workaround found: Can't Install OS to SD card: "Error: Timeout waiting for device special files"

    The app automates the creation of a bootable SD card. I have tried the manual method https://pandorawiki.org/Boot_setup#Setting_up_multiple-partition_SD_cards_for_booting I cannot complete the process because the keyboard won't produce an underscore. That's why I need the SD Installer pnd to...

    Workaround found: Can't Install OS to SD card: "Error: Timeout waiting for device special files"

    I've tried both SD card slots to the same effect. The cards read and write correctly in both slots for other programs/functions. SD/Micro SD cards used include 2, 6, 8, 32, and 64 gig cards, including confirmed compatible cards. Like I said, they worked before; I previously successfully...

    Workaround found: Can't Install OS to SD card: "Error: Timeout waiting for device special files"

    OK I've now tried about every SD and MicroSD card I have and both the built-in SD Install program as well as current and legacy .pnd versions with both versions of SuperZaxxon 1.75 flashed to NAND as well as earlier versions going back to 1.55 and every single one generates the same error...

    Workaround found: Can't Install OS to SD card: "Error: Timeout waiting for device special files"

    OK I was able to find the right combination of media/luck to flash the NAND and do a clean install but I'm still getting the same timeout error when trying to use the GUI-based installation system. These are with the same physical SD cards that were working fine before. Thanks, by the way, my...

    Workaround found: Can't Install OS to SD card: "Error: Timeout waiting for device special files"

    Yes. The error still pops up with the installer and the option to boot off SD1 does not appear in the R-button boot menu. I have tried half a dozen different SD cards including cards that formerly worked fine with the Pandora. I also tried the online installation process in the wiki but the...

    Workaround found: Can't Install OS to SD card: "Error: Timeout waiting for device special files"

    Decided to pull my Pandora out of mothballs last night and it was running just sorta janky after updating the OS. No problem, I can just do a quick clean install on an empty SD card. Unfortunately after running Pandora SD installer I get the message "Error: Timeout waiting for device special...

    How to get Flash 11 working in Firefox 21

    Yes, I did delete the appdata.  Why would I want to disable HTML5 video? I thought Arm architecture handled it more efficiently.

    How to get Flash 11 working in Firefox 21

    Hurray, got it to work.  After re-downloading the .pnd I forgot to change the about:config settings. That was it. Video works fine, fullscreen is acceptable if you let it queue up.  Thanks.

    How to get Flash 11 working in Firefox 21

    "Sorry, Flash Player is either not installed or not enabled. Please go to step 2." When I go to YouTube it loads the player and attempts to play, but it is staccato at best, generally with no audio. I have FF 26.0.0. Just re-downloaded it, too.

    How to get Flash 11 working in Firefox 21

    I have tried this method (and several others) and none seem to work. I think Adobe changed how their plugin page works. I would love to get Flash working, if just for Pandora radio, but there are also HTML5 YouTube plugins that I would like to try (you still need Flash for some reason, but the...

    SuperZaxxon v1.55 released!

    The root of my problems seems to be format related. As long as my boot partition is Fat16, not Fat32, everything works fine, and I can live with that. Although if anyone can come up with a theory to explain that little gem I'm all ears.  That means I can't use the "Super Zaxxon1.55 16GB SDImage...

    SuperZaxxon v1.55 released!

    There's also a little sticker in the battery compartment that says "1 Gigahertz Edition." OK, so the NAND install works fine, but the SD card install doesn't show the correct clock speeds. If I build an SD install manually, it won't boot off the SD card.  If I clone an SD card with the "Super...

    SuperZaxxon v1.55 released!

    I'm still having an issue with my last SD card install. I installed pandora-rootfs.tar.bz2 from the official firmware page (http://boards.openpa...e/firmware.html) and everything works pretty well except that the CPU speed runs from 500 Mhz to 800 Mhz. I have a Ghz Pandora. What's up there...

    SuperZaxxon v1.55 released!

    Alright, I'll get to work on a nice, fat 64 gig boot setup next.  So for the SD card that I did get working I installed pandora-rootfs.tar.bz2 from the official firmware page (http://boards.openpandora.org/page/firmware.html) and everything works pretty well except that the CPU speed runs from...

    SuperZaxxon v1.55 released!

    That was it. The only difference between the cards is the one that worked is an old 8gb SD card where the non-booting card is a new 8gb SDHC card. Can you not use SDHC cards for boot? If so, got any leads on a 16 gb SD card? I want to try Super Zaxxon1.55 16GB SDImage + working Flashplugin.

    SuperZaxxon v1.55 released!

    Well, the installer's wrong about that. All the files are on the card (boot.scr, bootf.tgz, README.TXT, rootfs.img, rootfs.md5). I'm going to try a different build and see if that works.  Update: that didn't work.

    SuperZaxxon v1.55 released!

    My Pandora started acting up. It was treating SD cards as read-only after running update Pandora OS. So I decided to format my boot SD card and start over.  That's when I figured out I had been running off the onboard flash, not the SD card, which might explain some of the weirdness (among...

    Yes! Thank you for helping me deal with problems I made myself.

    Awesome, thanks again. Here I was assuming you had to use some arcane piece of software to rip the images.

    Week 1: OS, Chromium, PCSX, Snes9x, and battery issues

    Done and done.  Yes, and those don't work. Straight-up .img files work fine. Thanks. Alright, I'll rip them (too lazy). Have a utility recommendation? Brilliant! Never would have occurred to me...
