Is it possible to update the my JVT firmware WITHOUT a charged battery?
A few days ago I purchased JVT-69 but it did not come with a charger. I've arranged to get one, but it will be at least a week before it arrives. I attempted to upgrade the firmware from 1.7 to 2.2 with it plugged into a Pod with a VDI cable. Although Workbench and the Pod both now recognize it as being the 2.2 firmware, Monkey says that the update failed and Workbench now displays "?????..." where the modle info should be.
My reading on the matter suggests that the battery is in fact necessary for a successful flash process, but I thought I would ask the community if any of you have had success updating the firmware without a battery, and if so, what was your process?
Alternatively, can any one suggest a method of restoring the original firmware without a battery?
