Does anyone know of this E-Book reader and how to update the firmware on it ?

[ipal]

I also have this ebay 0.0.0.0 reader. tried the rk28 driver +the upgrade tool and does not recognise it.
so I did not try any Rk27 tool or drivers in fear of bricking( just got the stupid thing).

Do the skytex 1.05 etc versions help battery or visibily wise or they just add menu eyecandy?
Although I suspect our version wont upgrade...

You can access the 4 drives on the device via a program called "RK27 Device manager" but i`ve looked everywhere for firmwware updates and can't find anything. Well i thought i'd found some firmware, but it was wrong and now its crashed my ereader. And now i have no backup. lol
Whats the chances of getting the backfile from you as its the same device? Thats if you can extract it.

Hi Trinity, I have also brickedr by ebook. inside the rockchip version is 2738. This is 4gb black.
Where can I find the RK27 Device Manager - English version? With this software can you access the ebook drives even if the PC reports the device as unrecognised USB device? Which is happening to me now.

I have already downloaded the Skytex Primer firmware.
Now waiting for your reply.
Thanks.

Can't find the TTS (text to speech) tho that i had before when i first bought the player. Unless it only pops up with certain formats.
So now we have 3 firmware versions to play with :-)

Can you please let me know from where to download this firmware? I can't seem to find any download section? Thanks.

Here is original software, plus primer image file and rk27 + rk28 tools all in the zip folder.

2shared - download Ebook software.zip

I upgraded to the primer software because it looked better than the original software which looked boring.

I recently got one of these off a chinese site but the thing crashes whenever I try to change anything in the settings, the screen just fades away to white and I have to reset the device.

Should I try to upgrade the firmware (v1.01) or attempt a return?

Thanks

I'm not the person you should be asking. I have a habbit of breaking things!

Hi guys

I just received my chinese ebook reader yesterday and was working OK with the sample files.

I put some pdf's on it and some jpg files and was going to use it today but for some reason the letters in the menu overlapped, I press the reset button and the thing died.

Is not recognized by the computer (Vista), nor by RK27 or RK28 device manager. I tried pressing reset while connected to computer and the power charger but nothing happened.

I guess is the same thing that happened to Atreyu... Do you have good news for me?

Greetings

Hi,
i got a Ebook Reader with a rock-Chip aswell.
When i try to open PDFs i have put on the internal memory it says: "Open disable" and goes back to the main menue.
Even happens with some demo-files, that were on the Reader when i got it.

I have the 1.1.0 firmware on it.
anyone had that problem before and can tell me how to deal with it?

Daniel
