Tried phoenixcard and livesuit to update the firmware.
Mele A1000 didn't try to boot the ROMs from SD

It can also be the SD card, so be sure to try more than one.

I have an A2000 and the only image I've managed to get booting of SD so far is the Ubuntu 10.04 image and I've tried several different SD cards

Ribuck, you want TVOUT/VGA or HDMI
If TVOUT, you want PAL or NTSC?
If HDMI what res? 720P, 1080P or 1080i?
I will post an image you can run

Hi brokencodes, Ideally hdmi output at 1080p in PAL format but i thout it was only supporting 720p. Also what tools are people using to edit the bin fle to change resolutions etc, outputs etc ?
Out of interest what are you doing differently to make it boot from SD for ics image ?? Was I supposed to prep the SD card in some special way for the ics beta image ?
Many thanks,
Ribuck

Yes, that works, but I thought they want to boot Android from SD instead of reflashing the internal ROM

I misread, thought they were trying to flash that beta ICS image.

Hi Starstream, i'm happy to flash the box instead of just running from SD, so i'll give that a go instead.

Guys what "Write mode" i must use in PhoenixCard for upgrade from SD Card ? I write sd card in "Product" mode and mele a 1000 doesn't load. It just "blink" until i turn off power. When i try to burn in "Start up!" mode i always have error :"[LRECOVERYFS] Burn fail". maybe it's becouse i have only 1 gb SD Card ?
p.s. sry for offtop

Product mode is the way to go...
remove power, put the SD card in the Mele, power it up and you will see nothing but the blue blinking LED. Wait until the blinking stops (LED OFF), remove the SD and restart the Mele and it should boot in the new FW

Did you try another SDcard ? Or maybe the card is write-protected ?
And put the firmware img and Phoenixcard in a folder without chinese letters.
Maybe LiveSuit works (never tried this myself)

dont think you can write to a usb device with livesuite, only flash the device directly. Unfirtunately i have now way of connecting my Mele A2000 directly to my pc.
