Apollo 008 build not updating to latest

[nicks88]

Hi all,

I'm on Apollo build 008 and using the software update feature indicates 'nothing to download'. I can see the current build is 22, so confused as to why this is not working. I've even tried switching on experimental builds, but still nothing downloads/updates.

Any advice before I manually download the latest image and flash?

Thanks

Read the release notes and you'll see that online update cannot be done and a fresh install is needed. I think it was from version 015.

As above, there was a announcement made at the time stating that build 015 required a reflash, after build 015 you can again use the online update feature.

You can do a backup and download image using image manager. :thumbsup:

yep correct, you can also use the backup manager to backup and restore any plugins and settings etc, although it is worth mentioning that when we do eventually release the new Vu+ kernels you will have to do a full reflash with no backups due to the change in kernel, but we will announce that as and when the time comes.
