Hello fellow Beat Thangers!
I had never heard of this thang before. Immediately after I saw this thang in a Swedish auction I won the auction for 60€, that was two weeks ago. While waiting for it to arrive I started to investigate what I have been bidding on. People online were saying that this thang needed the 1.3.0 firmware update to work properly. When the package arrived I already got the 1.3.1 files downloaded. First I played around with it for a minute, It was working perfectly on firmware 1.2.5. Than I connected it to my computer, presses SYSTEM and USB and dragged 6 files (BeatThangRootFs-1.22.btc, BeatThangKernel-1.22.btc, BeatThangFirmware-1.3.1.btc, BeatThangPlugins-1.20.btc, BeatThangColdfire.3.12_6_7_1.btc and FactoryUpgrade) to the internal storage and restarted the thang.
It went testing testing testing and updating updating updating. The machine goes black and when I start it again the testing testing updating updating process repeats, I guess because the files are still in the root of the internal drive?
I've tried to boot into diagnostics mode with the two cursor buttons, and pressed install app (all I have is these 6 files) from there. I've done this a hundred times with different SD cards and USB drives. either it repeats the updating process or it gets stuck on the loading screen ……………………
I've searched all over for a solution, watched every youtube video and downloaded everything I could find on the way back machine. Even though all I got was BeatThangUpdateWizard which isn't working any more and pdf-manuals with not much information.
When I found this forum I got my hope back! Unfortunately I can't read any of the posts in the forum. I hope someone can read my message and that someone has any good advice for me. What should I do now?
Long live the Beat Thang!
