Cosmo Communicator - Linux / Cosmo Communicator Linux Debian v4 firmware installation help
« on: January 11, 2023, 08:17:15 pm »
Hello!
I am trying to install Linux Debian v4 for the Cosmo Communicator. I've followed the instructions at https://support.planetcom.co.uk/index.php/Linux_for_Cosmo, but various attempts to load the firmware have failed.
When trying to use the SD Card method they provide, the following message appears when selecting the 'Install Custom OS on your COSMO' option:
Noticing that the firmware was outdated (It shipped with firmware version 19.6 and CoDi version 13), I attempted to update the firmware with the pre-installed Android OS via Settings->System->Wireless Update. However, it is listing that the version it shipped with is the latest version despite several locations on the support site saying that version 25 is the latest. I tried to manually install the latest firmware with the image provided here: https://support.planetcom.co.uk/index.php/Latest_Cosmo_Firmware. Recovery Mode did not recognize any of the files provided in the firmware zip as valid firmware updates when going through the 'Apply update through SD Card' menu.
When selecting the 'Apply update through ADB' option, sending the zip file with either the android firmware update or the debian install gives the same message:
I did see the post here: https://www.oesf.org/forum/index.php?topic=36822.0, but it didn't cover the actually firmware flashing process, so I'm still stuck.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated!
