Ok this is gonna be the last thread from me regarding the Libre Pro.I have been reading past Libre Pro threads on here and I was just wondering if I did end up buying one would I need to go to the Aluratek site and update it with new firmware or whatever?Any other tips on using the Libre Pro or things I should know?Also can I load books on to it from Calibre?I was thinking of grabbing one of that site that has them for sale for $50 and using stopito.com to ship it to Australia for me.Sorry about all the questions! I just wanted to add I went in to the SD card on the Libre Pro and I had a look at the firmware folder and apparently the firmware is not compatible. It's the right one from the aluratek site, I looked at the model number and downloaded the right one. I'm stuck!What do you see that makes you think the firmware is 'not compatible'?If you download the proper update and follow all the instructions in thesticky for the libre pro, you should be able to update the firmware.In the JBL when you want to go into the update mode you 'reset' thenhold both the key and the power key until the logo then you continueto hold the key but release the power key.

After a few seconds youshould see a conformation page and that is when you release the key.Luck;Ken. OK, first off working with SD cards is a lot easier if you use a USB2 card reader attachedto your PC and NOT the Libre Pro's USB 1.1 interface to it's SD reader.Don't use the Libre's 'SD Card Manager', or the internal memory manager to work withyour files, it is way too limitted. For the SD card it is best to use a USB2 card readerand your PC's file management. (Windows Explorer most likely.) For the internal memoryyou do have to use the USB cable, but then use the PC's file handling programs.If you don't have a USB2 SD card reader you can use the Libre as a reader and preparethe SD card for the update, as described in the sticky.What I would do first is to create two folders on your PC to hold the contents of yourLibre's internal memory and the contents of the original SD card. With the USB cableconnected your PC should have two new external Drives, with new drive letters, showingin 'My Computer'. Then copy the contents from your Libre and SD card to the folders.This way you can always be able to restore those contents.Then, I would reformat both the internal memory and SD card to FAT32 and run theoptional file structure checks and automatic corrections during the reformats.
Thiswill give you a clean and well structured file system for the rest of the update. TheRoot of the SD card will also be empty and ready for the 'Firmware folder' from theupdate download.You can now drag & drop the 'Firmware' folder from your zip file program into the emptySD card.Now just reset and try the update again.Luck;Ken. It sounds like the update firmware folder doesn't contain good files or file because theupdate process just barely got started, then hung. I would re-download the proper files,and try again.Trying to to do updates from a Linux system has been a problem reported on this forumin the past, you might have better luck on your windows laptop.
You could follow thesteps I described to prepare your Libre's memory and the SD card using that.You might consider that unless you mention otherwise, it will normally be assumed thatyour PC will be running under a Windows OS.Luck;Ken.
