Degers' How To: Reverting to LifeOS 1.1 from LifeOS PM2
:( You Will Need:
- 1 Pleo updated to LifeOS PM2
- 1 Blank SD card (You would have needed a suitable SD card to update to PM2 anyway)
- 1 FULLY CHARGED Pleo Battery
- 1 computer to download and load the files onto the SD card
^-^ The Plan:
What we are going to do is downgrade the Pleo from it's current OS (LifeOS PM2) down to LifeOS 1.0, as we can't go directly back to 1.1, we will then upgrade the Pleo back to LifeOS 1.1. I wish you the very best of luck, so let's begin!
8) Let's Begin!:
- Turn off the Pleo and ensure that the battery has been fully charged.
- Download the downgrade file here: (http://bobthepleo.com/forums/support/icon_urf.gif)SD Card downgrade for LifeOS1.0 (http://BobThePleo.com/forums/downloads/SD_downgrade_1.0.zip)
- Make sure that the SD card has no files or folders on it, then unzip the downgrade file into the SD card.
- Put the SD card into the Pleo and turn it on. Pleo will make a number of sounds and then eventually will complete the downgrade, however Pleo may not start moving after the downgrade. For safety, leave the Pleo turned on for 10 minutes to be assured that this step has completed.
- Test that our downgrade worked OK . . . Turn off the Pleo, remove the SD card and turn the Pleo back on. The Pleo should curl up into the hatchling position. If not, please try again from the top, or leave a comment below.
Assuming all has gone well thus far, we are ready to upgrade to 1.1.
- Download the LifeOS1.1 upgrade file here: (http://bobthepleo.com/forums/support/icon_urf.gif)SD Card Updater for LifeOS1.1 (http://BobThePleo.com/forums/downloads/SD_updater_1.1.zip)
- Clear the old files off the SD card before we continue.
- Extract the 1.1 upgrade files onto the SD card and then remove the SD card from the computer
- Put the SD card into the Pleo and turn it on. Pleo will make a number of sounds and then eventually will complete the upgrade, at this point the Pleo should make it's normal start sound and should enter the hatchling position again. However for safety you may want to leave the Pleo turned on for 10 minutes to be assured that this step has completed
- Turn the power off, remove the SD card and turn the power on. Your pleo should now proceed back through the birthing process and be a normal 1.1 pleo
:o Any Problems?:
I appreciate that technology can be finnicky, baby dinosaur technology especially %), so If you encounter any problems with this how to please post below and I will do my best to help, however I can't guarantee anything! That said, I have followed my own instructions with my own pleo and they worked for me.
Hope this helps guys :) (if you spot any typos/mistakes, please let me know, this is a bit rough-and-ready)
I have not tried this and I don't really want to since my pleo is fine now, but this should work as an alternative
Degers perhaps as a last resort you should add the POP method, I couldn't get the downgrade to work on Lilo at all, I just got a frozen Lilo with no sounds, I left her going for about half an hour (yeah I forgot she was even on :P). Then she reverted to her 2.0 ignorant self :P
