I been trying to update 1.2 to 1.3 via network and it just wont work!

I use netcat and upload the elf file to port 4000

The qoob says "Recieving File" then it said "Running DOL" and then nothing.

Now when I try it always hangs at the first part.

Is network upgrade bios implemented yet?

Long story short, I don't have a PC and I don't wanna waste another dvd to just upgrade.

VPC doesn't recognise the qoob chip connected :\

If you don't have a PC, it looks like you are going to have to just "waste" a dvd to flash it. I put waste in qoutation marks, because this update is definantly worth "wasting a dvd on.

First off, looks like everyone overlooked that I already tried updating via network. How could I do this without a pc? I have a G5 not a pc.

I thought you could either update via network or burn to dvd if you didn't have access to windows to use the flasher.

In the end I went around my friends place and used his pc but it sucks having to do that all the time.

Thats why I was asking, can/has anyone updated their bios via network update (I tried netcat) or is this feature not yet supported?

Thanks

network upgrade works here.

I just flashed 1.2, and netcatted the "upgrade_13.elf" into the cube. it showed that "really upgrade?" screen, i pressed "start" and it said "erasing.. flashing.. done" and now i have 1.3.

I can't see what you're doing wrong. maybe your netcat version is broken? does uploading homebrew stuff works?

Thats also how I did it, and it worked perfectly. I just typed:
nc.exe 192.168.1.32 4000 < upgrade_13.elf

A tutorial that I wrote for that is located HERE (http://ngcdev.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=38)

It was written to upload stuff to GCOS, but it is the same for Qoob, just make sure that you are menu of the Qoob bios when you do it.
