Thread: Updating nanocom GRRRR!

From the Changes.txt

-Html version of HELP file included in the zip (Unzip it anywhere on your local disk then start index.html)

Note: PLEASE READ THE NEW HELP FILE BEFORE YOU UPGRADE YOUR UNIT!!!

Unzip the "HTML version HELP.zip" file found in the kernel manager folder.

Open the resulting "HTML version HELP" folder, then open index.html.

This will give you access to a blow by blow description of the update process.

I was checking this out yesterday as my new Evo is somewhere between Sydney and Melbourne. I'm hoping I'll get it early next week.

Good try! Well I can access/open the introduction file, but not the index file.

Guess its time to hassle nanocom.

Are you upgrading on a Mac or PC , we are a Mac only household, I contacted Nanocom to see if I could upgrade firmware with a Mac , they said they don't know but probably not, I think I'll leave mine alone.

I'm on a pc with windows 7 etc - still not getting anywhere and about to PM nanocom

I'm not sure this will be of any help, but anyway....

Update procedure for EVO 2 only. EVO 1 requires a different procedure.

There is also a hardware update procedure in the help files, but this is mainly for recovering a bricked device.

While it's possible to do most things on Mac, once you get into the world of geeky gadgets access to a Windows environment is essential.

You do this either by using Bootcamp to create a dual boot environment. Bootcamp comes as part of the OSX install.
Apple - Support - Boot Camp

I run XP under VirtualBox on a Mac Book Pro for tasks like this.

You can get commercial products that do the same sort of job as VirtualBox with a bit more polish.

Parallels Desktop 7 for Mac
VMware Fusion: Run Windows on Mac for Desktop Virtualization

Whichever path you take you'll need a copy of a Windows OS. I find XP is a pretty nice compromise between being able to run updaters and apps and keeping a low processor hit. If you dual boot using Bootcamp Windows 7 would be a good choice.

Many thanks Offtrack - I'm now starting to get a feel for what I can't yet access by way of help files. Cheers Gavin
