Thanks all

As a new RM2 user I lost my Hacks when auto-update kicked in from 2.8 to 2.9.

When @ddvk released the 2.9 Hack I realised I wasn't on quite the right verison, so I needed to use remarkable-update

Not understanding quite well enough remarkable-update I managed to upgrade to 2.10.x

I went through it several times more and have now downgraded to the correct 2.9.x and have the latest remarkable-hacks successfully installed.

Thanks so much to all the contribs on this, it's brilliant. Without the Hacks, RM2 OS is just not good enough.

I think the readme for remarkable-update could be a little clearer, I'm happy happy to edit it, though note sure how to go about requesting access or whatever.

just clone the repo, update the readme (even via the browser) then make a pull request

THANK YOU!!!!

You saved my reMarkable2. I am well outside the 3 Year warranty and remarkable support was no help. Not even willing to help after I told them that I put my own template on the device - YEARS ago - I could not get it to factory reset.

I cloned the repo, downloaded the latest firmware and followed the start server, start download and BAM! it worked!

FYI - I had NOTHING in /usr/share/remarkable so I tried

echo SERVER=http://10.11.99.2:8000 > /usr/share/remarkable/update.conf

and it actually worked. I was afraid I would need more of the update.conf file but IT WORKED!!!

THANKS !!!
