Everything you do, you do at your own risk!
The authors of the manuals are not responsible for the curves of the hands of the owners!

Before asking something, read the cap or use the search on the topic!



Official instructions for flashing:

Copy the firmware image (SWUPDATE.BIN file) to the root of the SD card.
Connect the e-book to the power source (charger or computer) using a USB cable. During the entire process of flashing the book must be connected to a power source
Turn off the e-book.
For PocketBook 301+: turn on the device while holding down the “+” key on the right side of the book.
For PocketBook 302: turn on the device while holding down the two bottom paging keys at the same time.
For PocketBook 360: turn on the device while holding down the central control key and the top paging key at the same time.
Release the power button, the other keys release only the message “Firmware update” at the top of the screen.
The updater will validate the firmware image. If the verification is successful, the message “Press center key to start update” appears on the screen.
Press the central control key (on the Pocketbook 302 cancel / return button). Firmware update lasts about 2 minutes. If the update is successfully completed, the message “Update OK. Now please reset the device »
Pocketbook 301+, Pocketbook 302 and PocketBook 360 should reboot automatically.
Turn on the device. Check that the new software version is installed (“Settings” - “Device Information” - “Software Version”).
If desired, copy the updated games and applications from the software update archive to the device’s games folder, and the dictionaries into the system \ dictionaries folder (the contents of the internal memory and SD card do not change during the firmware process).
Once the update is complete, SWUPDATE.BIN can be deleted from the SD card.

Possible errors in the update process:
No update image found - the SWUPDATE.BIN file was not found on the SD card. Try to format the SD card (after saving all the information on the hard disk) and write the file to a blank card. If the error persists, try updating from another SD card.
Please connect power cable - the power supply is not connected. Make sure the USB cable is securely connected to the power supply or computer.
Update image is corrupted or Image is empty - the SWUPDATE.BIN file is damaged or there is no free space on the SD card. Delete unnecessary files from the card and overwrite the SWUPDATE.BIN file again. Repeat the firmware download from the sitehttp://pocketbook.com.ua. If the error persists, try updating from another SD card.
Firmware image is not for this device - you are trying to write software designed for another device. Download the update for your device from the sitehttp://pocketbook.com.ua.
File read error - error reading the SD card. Try updating from another SD card.
Flash write error, sector N - Error writing program to device. Try updating again. If the error persists, contact the service center to correct the problem.

I have such a situation ... I'm flashing a book, it works fine, but after 5 minutes it turns off and does not start with the power button. Only the "reset" button helps and then not always. Tell me what could be the problem? Model PocketBook 301 Plus EB600E



Rep: (0)
Problem solved. Soldering the flash memory and flashing to the flash programmer of the firmware plus up to the heap changed the acb to bl-5c the book works like a clock.



Rep: (0)
The same problem with the book, tell me the problem is in the memory itself or do you need to fill the firmware with a programmer?



Rep: (2)
Good day. The topic is old, but the book serves me so far, or rather served. What kind of failures began, does not remember last. page. It seems to write Check for system errors. I reshooted ... And now the Brick. Loads the initial picture and that's it. I rebooted twice more, but alas .. There were no reports of any errors when installing the firmware. Who can will advise how to be? Thank!

I just crawled it, turn it on with the bottom button pressed on the side, the trash can is drawn on it. After that, the book earned. The firmware did not help.

The book hung on the screen saver with an hourglass. The firmware on new and older versions did not help.
Helped the council with the push of the power button and the ballot box (bottom left). We simultaneously press the power button and the ballot box, after the splash screen appears, release the power button, the urn button is pressed until the message "Flash test, please wait about 10 minutes ..." appears. After checking the book turned on.

* chkalov84,
Hello! I never thought that someone would answer. Thank you! Be sure to try when I get and accomplish your goal!
Although I already wore it in the workshop, and there they said that it was cheaper to buy a new one. I’m saying something with memory. If I’m not completely there

Good day! After formatting, I stopped reading any files except pdf. Reboot with the basket did not help. What to do?



Rep: (1)
Thank you so much!
The book has not worked for a couple of years ... It turned it on and off in different ways. But only now, on the advice above, squeezed the "basket" and turned it on. The ON button was released, and the "basket" was kept on. As a result, the reboot started and after a couple of minutes the book is like new! Only the battery is already dead, work only from the network. Need to change.

Friends, but did anyone have the official firmware? For links no longer work, but on the site I don’t find 301 support at all

Take a lookhere



Rep: (2)
Good! I know the wrong branch, but it helped with 301, maybe someone knows about it ... I've been using 612pro for many years, and now the problems have started. I turn on, the screensavers change, the screen appears ... but just like a frame , and there are no labels, no widgets. I can’t enter the settings, or I can’t go to the library. I reshooted a couple of times, but it didn’t help. I’ve done a reset, alas .. I’ve changed the map, too, without changing.
