Hello.My Zero runs with a previous version of firmware (2013-10-04).a) If you try to install April firmware with this CD, you'll just get October back, unless you do a complete reflash (and then you lose your data). The CD is meant for everyone except those who have a working October firmware already, have not tried April at all, and want to keep their data.
I want to backup my data and flash the new firmware via this Rescue-CD.
Will the firmware installed correctly without any issues?
I have no linux on my pc, only raspberry pi, to flash like in manual for separatly partitions.
this is like an awakening Cemetery PSP? ::)If this thread (http://forums.qj.net/psp-general/56649-psp-cemetery-thread.html) is what you were going for, know that it's almost impossible to hard-brick a GCW Zero. The USB boot mode is built into the Ingenic JZ processors and it's written on a small bit of read-only NAND. You will always be able to run this CD and get a GCW Zero in working order again, unless you become physically unable to raise Power or press the Select button, or one of the connections is broken on the PCB, or your power circuit has died (but in that case, it's nothing that software can hope to fix).
Please wait for the OPK updater.Well he didn't say that his Zero is bricked and that he can't backup his data :)
Yeah, but then updating to April from a working October isn't the best with this CD.Please wait for the OPK updater.Well he didn't say that his Zero is bricked and that he can't backup his data :)
Please wait for the OPK updater. This CD is for those who already have the partition table from the April update, but got a soft-brick as a result. They will run the system partition flasher only. (And those after April who want to restore their Zero to a pristine state, or get a soft-brick later on, already on the correct partition layout. They will run the flash-everything option.)No, this CD is for everybody who need to reflash.
If I understand correctly:
I want to reflash my Zero for the new firmware, and I can use this CD for it.
With this CD I can flash all partitions, include MBR, UNIBOOT, SYSTEM, DATA?
With my proto it fails each times, I tried with every options.
Tried with a new microSD ( removed the internal) with no luck. Does it need to be formatted before ? I don't think so.
The archive has the same name though, but maybe it hasn't be renamed ?Lol you're right, I only renamed the caption of the link, not the link itself. It should work now.
If you choose the "full flash" option, yes.Thank you very much! You are Awesome!
Just wanted to list my thanks here too - managed to get my GCW functioning properly, and realise that I've got MORE than 2GB's worth of SD space.Yeah, it (gmenu2x) shows how much space is left, not how much space is used.
Thanks for the program! :D
What firmware version are you running right now? Maybe your trying to flash the newest version of the os over an older
I would get a flashing yellow screen anytime I connected to power. I thought my proto was DEAD! I was simply looking through the forum and found this gem. Tried this recovery disk and it worked! Im SO happy! Thank you for creating this. Unfortunately, I had to do the FULL flash. Its been years since Ive used my Zero and now I gotta brush up on the basics, like installing stuff!Great to hear all went well. You potentially have to install both the 2014-05-05 update and finally the 2014-08-20 update from the GCW Zero website (http://www.gcw-zero.com/updates) to avoid incompatibility with recent applications hosted at the downloads page (http://www.gcw-zero.com/downloads). The Rescue Disco does not include the games which were originally pre-installed on the device. You will have to re-download them manually.
