Today I wanted to try some of the modified firmware in my A119. It currently has version 4.01 loaded. I copied version FWBA119_MOD-5Ro_v4.00+25Mbps+Enhanced+Dice.bin to a memory card and verified that the file transferred (it did).
Then I connected the A119 to my computer and waited 5 seconds or so for the green and the red LEDs under the buttons to blink slowly 4 or 5 times, and then flash for a few seconds, then blink, then flash, etc. That never happened. When I checked the firmware version on the A119 it had not changed from version 4.01, it simply began recording. So I repeated the process using version 3.4 and had the same result. The modified firmware did not install into the A119.
The instructions that I wrote when I originally installed the 4.01 firmware said if I change the name of the file it will not install into the A119. When I tried to install version 3.4 I made sure that the filename on the card was:
FWBA119_FW_V3.4.bin
So what should I change the name to?
And if I do and it loads correctly into the A119, how will I know that I have installed the modified firmware?
