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

Post by beebop »

I was just wondering, has anyone figured out how to access recovery mode from the 3.1 upgrade? Holding FN and left arrow doesn't seem to be working anymore. Also, is OTA updating enabled on this build? I'm just wondering how we'll get out of this build if we can't get to recovery,and hopefully the OTA updating is still intact.

ALT+L is the correct button combination

I think it's ALT+L

In regards to the OTA, probably not, but even if not we'll just get the official update.zip and do the same process.

thanks for the answer. As long as we have a way to flash a new update.zip then we'll eventually be able to update. As soon as the next signed OTA update comes out...which will hopefully use the HC bootloader.

Is it still the power on, wait a second, hold the button then reboot process? A power outage seemed to have killed my box, and I can't get any further than the Logitech Revue splash.

Same problem here, but this is the third time for me (lots of power outages) the good news is i have fixed it 2 out of the 3 so far, by doing random combinations of reset alt +L and am now trying to document the actions I am taking this time to maybe help others and myself for another future power outage. I would encourage others to do the same and maybe we can have a documented fix for this. ill update if I stumble across the magic sequence again
