accessing recovery mode/receiving OTA's with the 3.1 beta

[rafatz]

Have the same issue here. None of the sequences works...

At which point should I press ALT + L?

Anyone?

Hello to you all. I have found a way for all of us to get to the recovery!! all you have to do is unzip the update file to the root of the usb, then hold down the button and plug in the unit. at this point it will read the boot file so we can get into recovery!! then update to to new update now here in these forums. good luck to you all!!

I tried without any luck.
Can you explain in a bit more detail. eg which usb port do you insert the drive. Do you still press alt-L to get into recovery menu? Is the update you unzipped the 3.1 update?

Tks!

ok, figured it out. here is what i did:

1) formatted my pen drive as fat 32
2) placed the first 3.1 update file on the pen drive as update.zip
3) extracted all the files on the pen drive into the root folder with winzip

at this point you should have the update.zip and all the files from the update.zip extracted on the pen drive.
4) unplugged power (i did have both the hdmi in and hdmi out and ir blaster plugged in though)
5) placed the pen drive in the usb port farthest from ethernet port (when facing the back of the revue, it will be on the left)
6) plug power in
7) count one mississippi then push the connect button. just push it once and let go, DO NOT HOLD IT DOWN (this is what i was doing wrong all this time)
8) sit back and relax as it will show the flash screen (logitech revue) then go black, and should show the update bar) continue to wait, as it looks like it gets stuck...but it keeps going, it will continue on its own untill the 'welcome to logitech revue' screen

ENJOY!

The only thing I would add would be that I had to have the Revue unplugged for 20 minutes before trying it. Would not work otherwise.

Didn't work for me..

Does the Revue with 2nd 3.1 update brick on a power loss?

Mine did. Had the 2nd 3.1 update installing successfully, and now its just stuck on the "Logitech Revue" screen. Been trying everything that's posted on here, but nothing seems to work. Guess that's what I get for being impatient.
