Flashing InnoTab 3 from OS X - jackthecoiner - 12-26-2014
I'm attempting to follow the tutorial to flash the firmware on my InnoTab 3. When I connect the tablet via USB, I don't see many of the files that are mentioned in many of the threads, such as all the .db files.
Code:
$ mount | grep Volumes
/dev/disk2s1 on /Volumes/IFSD (msdos, local, nodev, nosuid, noowners)
$ find /Volumes/IFSD
/Volumes/IFSD
/Volumes/IFSD/LLN
/Volumes/IFSD/LLN/APPS
/Volumes/IFSD/LLN/APPS/Books
/Volumes/IFSD/LLN/APPS/Games
/Volumes/IFSD/LLN/APPS/Other
/Volumes/IFSD/LLN/MOVIE
/Volumes/IFSD/LLN/MUSIC
/Volumes/IFSD/LLN/PHOTO
/Volumes/IFSD/LLN/PHOTO/IT03I_00001.jpg
/Volumes/IFSD/LLN/PHOTO/IT03I_00002.jpg
/Volumes/IFSD/LLN/PHOTO/IT03I_00003.jpg
/Volumes/IFSD/LLN/PHOTO/IT03I_00004.jpg
/Volumes/IFSD/LLN/PHOTO/IT03I_00005.jpgThe only individual files on this device that I can see are the few photos we took with the camera app. When I renamed LLN to LLN_OLD and unpacked the custom firmware into a folder called LLN, it didn't appear to have any effect on the system. After rebooting, it still had my old account and photos. I'm attempting to do this without a MicroSD card. Am I missing something?

You need an SD card inserted into the device. The IFSD is the internal memory of the tablet. You need to put the firmware files on an actual SD card and insert it into the device.

Thanks for the reply. That helped a lot. I posted a firmware request of my own over in that forum, if you have a moment to look:

Great site, and I plan to get more involved in this community :-)
