Forgot after Step 6 after you turn off Turn it back on pressing and Hold the Q button at the same time it will bring it up in recovery mode and will recognize the SD card to update. After then just press to update. And wait and hope for the best could take 5-10min.
thank you !! my ereader now is fixed...thank you sooo much...this was a lot of help for me
Thank you for your fix on the Literati. I've been trying for 2 weeks to be able to write to the Literati volume to add books. Somehow the Literati would show as a read only volume on my mac. The recovery mode did the trick.
