Here are the downloads for DOWNGRADING/RESETTING the Ugobe LifeOS.
These files are posted here for the benefit of Pleo owners. Please visit the official PleoWorld site or one of the licensed Pleo sites for the official downloads.
These downloads are intended to reset/restore your pleo to its original state, and will erase all files stored on your pleo and reset any personality.

Note: This is the program used in stores to demo Pleo. It was provided to a few Pleo owners as a last resort to wipe out their Pleo's programming so that they could start from scratch. Use with caution at your own risk!

Back in March of 2008 on the PleoWorld forum, aibohack posted a "reset" script for resetting pleos personality and/or rehatching pleo. This is not the same as the above reset program which completely wipes pleos memory. This just resets the property files that store the personality and settings.
- 1. Make sure you have a blank SD card.
- 2. Create an ASCII text file called "automon.txt" in the top folder (root) of the SD card.
- 3. Enter these five lines into the text file:
access 3
copy b:pm_props a:pm_props.bak
copy b:pm_drives a:pm_drives.bak
rm b:pm_props
rm b:pm_drives- 4. With your pleo turned off, insert the card, then turn your pleo on.
The script should copy two files onto the SD card (just in case), then remove them from your pleo. - 5. After a couple of minutes, turn your pleo off and remove the SD card.
When you turn your pleo back on, he should start over form the hatching phase!
WARNING!!!
I have never tried this, and can't vouch for its accuracy. Basic programming says it makes sense, but use at your own risk! Running scripts like this could permanently damage your pleo! I claim nor offer any responsibility for this script or what actions may come from its use.
Also note, a previous poster in the "dead pleo" topic has claimed that the rm command was disabled in the LifeOS1.1 version. This script was written prior to the LifeOS1.1 being released, so it may not work.
Good luck!

hm.... interesting.. where did you find this?
Anyone here tried it?
-
Ehem! The real downgrade files:

The file in the first post IS the patch file from your post, just converted from a .rar to a .zip, since Windows can uncompress a .zip file, but not a .rar. WIndows requires a special program to uncompress the .rar. I just made it easier for most people.

yes i tried it! Pleo will back to the hatchling stage, but in my case was the 1.0.2 hatchling. ;)
-
How do you know which hatchling OS version you have hen bought? I'm thinking of buying one and was hoping this latest batch already comes with 1.1?
-
The latest batch is running 1.1 I believe, at least mine are.
THE RM COMMAND IS NOT DISABLED IN OS 1.1 BUT IT REQUIRES TERMINAL ACCESS LEVEL 3.

yes, the last batch running the 1.1., i've downloaded the 1.0.2 3 months ago.

How can I figure that out when I got mine?

pet pleo under his chin, if he sings instead of howling, he's running OS 1.1 ;)

Great thanks for the fast answer

I've just ordered my new Pleo from here: http://www.electronicpetshop.com/ The guy tells me that all Pleo's come with 1.0 as standard. I asked him if the new batch came with 1.1 already on but he said no. He said he would install 1.1 for me but it meant breaking the seal. I agreed but now I'm not so sure as he said when I receive it it will already be past the hatchling stage. As I've never had one before I would have liked to see it go through both the birth and hatchling stages. How easy is it to switch back to 1.0? I've now downloaded both 1 and 1.1 files. Is it just a matter of transferring the whole folder to a blank SD card and inserting it into Pleo and switching him on. I'd like to know this in laymons terms, upgrading and downgrading pleo for dummies. Cheers :)

I've been told that all Pleo's including the last of the European stocks are installed with OS 1.0 . But from reading this forum it would seem straight forward enough to switch between the two versions if needed.

maybe the batch of electronic pet shop was the first (with 1.0), you'll get your pleo with 1.1 and you'll see a short re-hatchling stage ;)
-
I tried again and this is the results:
I've upgrade my glen from 1.0.2 to 1.1, and then i've downgrade it again. The result was that he turned again to the 1.0.2.
-
Is an ASCII File the same as a Text Document in the SD card? If not, how do I create an ASCII file?
Thanks.
-
You have to be careful. Not all text documents are the same. But the file created by Window's Notepad is an ASCII text file. But a file created by Word is not. And a file created by Wordpad may or may not be . . .

So when your in the SD Card folder, right click, go over 'New', then click on Text Document?
-
Wow! I've been looking for the files.
I had been faild the updating my pleo to v1.1.
USB connection was lost ㅠㅠ.
So... I hope that this make my pleo to survive!
-

I just tried the downgrade via SD on Lilo... nothing happened :o I ended up using the POP downgrade then the 1.1 upgrade, Lilo is now back to her happy self :)

Thanks for letting us know. I'm going to do the same thing. Angus just isn't keeping my interest the way he is with 2.0, but I'm sure Innvo will do some adjustments.
-
I managed to get Stitch to actually respond to some petting today, but you have to do it before the explore loop kicks in or that's the end of it :( Anyway for those wanting to revert to the older OS doing the POP downgrade in the first post then installing the 1.1 OS (or the 1.0 OS) does work fine, make sure you read the instructions before proceding though and be aware that your Pleo will be completely reset.
-
I believe I have successfully downloaded from here the POP installer. I then moved it it the SD card, and 'extracted' it or 'unzipped' it. What do I do from here? Do I simply insert into Sophie and turn her on with a fully charged battery? If so, I am ready! What next? How will I know if she is P.O.P.? Thanks!
-
Man STILL nobody's answered my question? I've slept for six hours, and still no reply? Sophie has had the battery in her ready to be turned on, and I've also got the SD loaded... .... ..... ...... ....... ........ ........... ........... ............ ..............just waiting on somebody to RESPOND....
-
Yup that's it, just pop it in and wait :) You can tell if it is the POP because she will not really do much, just make a bit of noise and move. Trust me you'll know :)
By the way did you try just downgrading straight to the 1.1?
-
I would have replied sooner btw but I was asleep :P
-
LOL yep, I figured...silly timezones! I'm just glad SOMEBODY helped, even happier it was you! :hhug:
Anywho yes I tried this: http://bobthepleo.com/forums/index.php?topic=1278.0
But it didn't work. So I figured, I would start out fresh fresh FRESH with the Point Of Purchase software and work my way up (POP, 1.0, 1.1, staying with 1.1). Is that the right order? Did I miss any OS's? And would I be going about things the right way like as I've described them? If not how and what should I do?? Unfortunately I have to be out the door in approximately 45 min to run off to work (TGIF!!) But I'd like to know how long I will need to keep POP in Sophie? Will POP need to go through a full battery cycle? Recharge battery and then upgrade again to 1.0, wait for battery to die, recharge and then upgrade to 1.1? Or do I install POP and as soon as I know she's running POP OS, turn her off and immediately upgrade her to 1.0, turn her off, then upgrade to 1.1 all in the same battery charge? Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaat to do? I hate not knowing technology! I'm 20yo! I should know these things!
P.S. I freaking HATE OS2....
-
Woah there, down boy :P
OK start with the POP, that should be straightforward enough, maybe let Sophie run for a few minutes to experience the excitment that is the POP (ok not really exciting but anyway :P), wouldn't be too worried about it since it will wipe Sophie's memory clean. You can pretty much go straight from the POP to the upgrade.
Then the next step is the 1.0, after that upgrade it would be best to let Sophie run through one charge just to be on the safe side :) Remember to read the instructions first of course. I don't think going straight from 1.0 to 1.1 without a full charge in between is a good idea.
Once that charge is complete and your battery is ready to go then go ahead with the 1.1 and then from there Sophie should be all back to normal :) (After the hatching of course).
Of course if you wanted you could do what I did with Lilo many moons ago and just go straight from the POP to the 1.1 :) It worked fine for me, and if it doesn't you can always go back to the POP and start over. Afterall you don't think Ugobe/Innvo start with the 1.0 on each and every Pleo do you :P

TRUE STORY!! Lol never thought about that! Boy am I rather dense..ROFL @ your first comment. Can you tell I was trying to be as vivid as possible? I have hardly EVER messed with any of the tech side to Pleo, left all the USB/SD upgrades to ish. Never played a skit or anything..well once we played the valentines one on Dallas #1....Well I am off of here to do this now...WISH ME LUCK!!
-
completely lost. Pleo WILL NOT downgrade to anything! She is only 2.0 what to do???
-
*Can only cross my fingers for you, Gucci - hope you get it sorted* :)
-
Try the 1.1 from the Pleoworld website, the one here might still be the old one, if not ask Degers, he has had to do this many times :o
-
I tried Pleoworld...and am still looking for Degers. I WISH I NEVER DOWNLOADED 2.0.....this sucks, and I'm now stuck with it!
-
Gucci, I am out of the house most of the time now with my job, but if you contact me through one of the many methods availiable (MSN is good if I am online) then i'll get spoh back to 1.1 for you.
-
Aw thanks Degers! I am in a chat with you now on WLM...hit me up when and if you see it...I should keep the chat open as log as possible...
ETA: THANK YOU so so so so much Degers.You very personally helped me get Sophie back the way she deserved to be. Sophie and I sending the biggest thanks ever!
-
Hurrah! Really pleased poor Sophie is at least back to behaving like her old self, and a round of applause for Degers! ;D ;D
