Topic: Chumby 8 Fails to Update

My Chumby 8 has been shut off for six months while I've been waiting for the service to be restored.

Now when I power it on it says it wants to load a software update, but the update fails and it says to turn off the power and restart the device to try again.

But it just keeps failing and I can't go on from there.

What can I do to restore it?

Re: Chumby 8 Fails to Update

you may need to do a manual firmware update with a usb thumb drive:

we're working on things, but the over the air update service isn't online yet.

Cleaning up any loose bits and bytes.
