OK I 'm not a computer guy by no means but I have updated before. The file that downloaded read 407b11ffc5734c after loading on to SSD card it did not read V6.10 what ever like the V5.700 did. I loaded it into my unit and it asked to over write the 4.9 with the new 5.7. The 6.1 is not there. Is it me or is the down load screwed up? Like I said I'm not a computer guy at all.HELP for any one who is :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(
THANKS
Mike

You might try deleting any .bin files you have on the SD card before
downloading the new update.
You may have two or more .bin files on the card, and it's referencing an older one.
Good Luck.

The 6.180 for the 1198 downloads as e91f7d44b67c40bb981d0c4538e030f5.bin.......
dont know right off hand what the 407b1ff.......download is....
did you get this from the HB site where you are or should be registered?
ITGEEK is right in that you should not have any other bin files on the card. As a precaution. Something in the filename is supposed to identify which unit it is for but dont always take that for granted. Do as ITG said and only have one bin file on the card..

Yes I never had this problem before like I said the unit is not seeing this as a update all it is seeing is the 5.7 all ready on the card?

TWH...delete the 5.7 from the sd card. download the 6.18 from the HB site to the sd card.
It should go right on from there..
I am trying to get the large (27,000 kb) 1198 file loaded to this site but so far the server is restricting
any larger thsan 8meg..
I talked with Robert last night and he is going to see if we can get the server restriction lifted..
Any way can you try a fresh download..
Remember the download will not say 6.180 ...it will be the long name..
However when you load it to the unit and look on the system page it will say 6.180.....

Tried that still saying 5.7 on systems page. Looking for a different SD card would hate to lose the 5.7 v then I will be back to square one.

TWC, copy your 5.7 from the sd card to your computer..that way you will have a copy...format the sd card and download the file from HB to the sd card....It will show up as the long name.bin
then try the upgrade... again....
I wish we had the new upgrade for the 1198. but working on getting that here..
I do have the upgrade on my computer. Do you want to try the HB first and then if not I will ty to get the longname file to you from me....
