Yeah, I know, these things are absolute cack. My old R4 running Wood died a couple of days ago, and being in Cambodia these miserable things are all I can find. I've had to buy two...
First one I got was one of the purple ones marked 'New'. Tried the firmware update for it from their website and it crashed while erasing and bricked. Attempts to reflash it from the working black one I then bought have all failed, it just hangs when trying to erase the device. Not sure if its the card itself, or if the firmware on their website is toss. I'm leaning towards the latter. Any advice to get this piece of crap working again would be appreciated.
As for the functional, updated black one I've got is there any alternative to the god-awful firmware and kernel? The old-style R4 UI is horrible and does my teeth in. Unfortunately seems like Wood doesn't work with this thing, so I might be stuck with it.
Cheers
