[How To] Manually Update SYNET7LP/SYTABEX7 to Android 2.2 "Froyo"

[ANjROID]

cfrockit thx for all the info this tool makes life so much better it works everytime. Busybox from amazon bricked my 7lp model so I used all the steps for microsd flash with the 11.2.1.8.2.0_beta3.ius works just like when I pulled it out of the box. I have the other two files 2.1,2.2 Ill see if they work also.

I'm looking for help:
Model SYNET7LP
I have a HWVER 11.2.0.6 and I downloaded the appropriate file as in post #1.
I formatted a 4GB micro SD card and then burned the image to the card using InfoTM Update Wrap Tool.
I installed the SD and booted. I get the booting from SD ... message for about 12 seconds then I get the Take off SD and reboot message.
I press the reset button and repower on and the update doesn't seem to take. I'm still at firmware DG2.02 and Kernal 2.6.32.9.

chp, from the description it would seem that the InfoTM Update Wrap Tool failed to properly create the disk image on the SD card from the file downloaded.

Delete the partition off the SD card (pictured in post #82), no need to reformat as the IUW utility will create the image needed to update and try to burn the image again to the SD card.

Users continuing to encounter issues with the SD card approach have resorted to use the OTG method with success.

Thank you! I had to delete the partition and recreate the image, and everything worked.

Some users have had their devices repaired by DG and the tablets are being returned updated to 2.2. We'd like to know what "version" if it's "official" or the same beta4 posted.

Welcome, didn't do anything wrong. As most of the listed updates are beta it seems the orientation and a few other still have not been worked out.

If it is a major annoyance, and since the device is only 2 days old, you could either return it/replace it, or request a Return Merchandise Authorization from Digital Gadgets 1 year warranty support with the hope that the replacement device is running a more "official" update with working screen orientation.

I got an official update for my CVS purchased SYTABEX7, Sunday, 7/10/11. Now at Android version "DG2.2.1 -7b1". The opening screen icon arrangement is different as well as the clock. I am trying to see if I can get Android market place but am confused about setting up the account. At least there are a lot more apps availible on the "Slide SAM 4.0" market place app that comes with the SYTABEX7 - and that is something else that is changed, in the "About device" feature of SEttings it now lists the model # as STYABEX7 as is printed on the box. Before it was model # "SYNET7LP".

giveen, Remove the SD and try booting again. I've experienced it hanging on startup and shutdown but removing the working card allowed it to start or shutdown normally. Doesn't happen all the time but when it hangs I get the uh oh feeling. Good luck!

Nope, no go Sad, I guess I'll eventually figure it out or send it RMA to DG.
