So my pandora has shipped and I am trying to learn how to update the firmware. I have the superzaxxonfinal.zip and will reflash it using that. How do hotfixes play into this and are there any other things i need to do to get it up to date?
 
anything beyond Super Zaxxon Final is being considered beta. They are pretty stable so you might as well update to the latest version: http://openpandora.o...ZaxxonFinal.zip

1. Extract the contents of this zip to root (main) directory (folder) of your FAT32-formatted SD card.
2. Make sure the pandora is turned off (remove the battery in case it crashes or doesn't turn off by using normal means).


3. Insert that SD card into pandora's first slot (it's the one closer to headphone jack).


4. Press and hold the right trigger ('R'), then turn the power on (if you have battery removed, insert it while holding R).


5. A menu should appear on screen. Select "boot from SD1" using the d-pad by pressing B or X.


6. Wait for flash process to finish. Connect the charger to be sure the battery doesn't run out while flashing. Press enter when asked to do so.


7. The device should turn off, press power (without holding R) to turn it back on.


8. It should then start it's first boot process which might take up to 15 minutes, be sure to wait for it to finish, otherwise firmware corruption might happen.

thats it


stuff on your SD card should stay the same but I always use a seperate card for the flashing process. If you don't have a spare card, back it up. Just in case something goes wrong.


edit: you should get the codec pack too http://www.openpando...s/CodecPack.pnd


feel free to ask about the single steps
