Ok,
I pays yer money and gets the item. Sprung for a Pocket CHIP and did a little search.
Figure since a poster their says most of 'em ship with an older firmware, to update to the latest and greatest.
I discovers that they send me the Pocket CHIP PLUS and I mean PLUS! an extra $9.00 CHIP board with a composite connection. Cool extra computer. Too bad's I don't have an old
composite TV I can connect up to it. Am not in the third world.
Well, I goes online and discovers I hasta' download and update to Googlecrap Chrome.
So's I do that plus follow all their instructions to a "T". Am do'in hick talk as this is what this
device is.
I updates to Chrome and installs their "drivers". Ok, fine. I then shutdown, reboot and pull everything back up. Winblows 7 64 bit "perfessional" says Ooooooeeee, I got's that driver installed for yer's device. It's recognized!!
Wells, I goes to the "online" firmware update and click "go to it". Stupid thing locks up and when I reboot the "Next Thing" Pocket "Piece o' S--t", NOTHING! I get a locked logo screen and nothing. I would have expected on an abort, the thing would have sense to go to a recovery mode.
I've posted to "their" bulletin board and see what I get back.
This is the first freak'ing time I have followed instructions "TO THE LETTER" and had such a
flagrant failure. Suffice it to say, I'm ticked off.
I did a search for my Nexus 7 2013 on firmware updates and was made aware of issues with flashing. Just installed and adb Ubuntu utility in minutes and was prepared for a
"bricking". Dorked the Nexus plenty of times and was able to restore in a "flash"!
This postage stamp "Next Thing" piece o' crap is buyer beware!
