My Pandora was getting a bit glitchy so I decided to upgrade the firmware to zaxxon 1.60, I formated my 64gb SDC card to fat32 and unzipped the new firmware onto it.


Got to the boot menu and chose sd1 then I get this error.


reading boot.scr


mmc_read_data: timed out waiting for status!


mmc_send_cmd: timed out waiting on cmd inhibit to clear

Cheers for any help, this is diving me crazy
 
Corrupted files?


Try to extract the files from the full flash zip again.


Edit: Did you reflash before? Did that work flawlessly? What kind of Pandora do you have? Is it one from Craig with "little defects"?

Flashed before and it worked fine , have the original cc Pandora , although I have only had it a couple of months.
 
So maybe try with a different card and freshly extracted files fom a freshly downloaded zip.
 
Cheers guys for the help , tried another SD card and it flashed great , should have tried that first before posting.


Looks like my 64gb SD card might be corrupt...bogus, but at least the Pandora is working fine :)
 
^ I've noticed that most SD cards 32GB or higher come formatted to ExFAT by default.. could that be the issue since FAT32 is required?

I had similar problems with a 4GB SD card, so size doesn't matter. ;)
 
Well size doesn't matter if it is a corrupt card for sure... but it could be just as easily been formatted to the wrong filesystem.
