remarkable-update VS rmview

Using the image file to upgrade a tablet, use remarkable-update or RCU.

Also, I've used remarkable-update to perform every firmware update on all three of my tablets. You can't use it if you can't SSH into the tablet to modify the update.conf file in the first place, so if a tablet is upgraded to a version where dropbear (the SSH server) isn't running, it's "game over" for that tablet. The same goes for RCU, which just added firmware updating as a feature in the last week or so ... no SSH, no RCU.

You're not being paranoid! What you described in your post was exactly right: do a factory reset, then overwrite both boot partitions via ddvk/remarkable-update (apply an upgrade twice)!

Hi, there. Sorry if this has already been asked, but has anyone been able to successfully downgrade their firmware in order to use some of the cool third-party apps out there? I'm running 3.1x and I'd like to use this script to downgrade to 2.5, but I'm scared I'll brick my device. Any advice?

Is there anyway I can by revert back to version 2.15.1.1189? I tried that guide to change the firmware, but for some reason it says "Error checking the update." when tapping "Check for updates". Even though I've exactly made what was said in the readme and I didn't make mistakes in the IPs. I'd appreciate any help!

You can have both using the switch.sh script to flip between partitions configured for 2.15 and 3.x but you can't use the same notebook. See here for latest on ddvk for 3.x.

I should be able to downgrade, right? Via: https://github.com/ddvk/remarkable-update

See remarkable-update, or remarkable-update-helper. Here is another discussion about downgrading, as well.

I'm using rmView for its red-dot-on-hover feature: https://github.com/bordaigorl/rmview

reStream is what you're looking for. rMview used to have a reStream-like feature, but it hasn't been updated in a long while.

Rmview has thinner borders: https://github.com/bordaigorl/rmview

Use rmview. It works (er... worked a few updates ago...) using the connect/live view, but gave a lot more flexibility. https://github.com/bordaigorl/rmview

https://github.com/bordaigorl/rmview - for hosting a local viewer to show the screen-sharing hosted on the RM2 tablet.

For the occasional online group project, I use rmview, to share my findings (currently it's not working, but that's probably on me)

I'm using rmview (https://github.com/bordaigorl/rmview) even though I have connect. It works much better in my opinion. It doesn't require any installation on the tablet. You just install it on your PC and it connects in the same way as the remarkable app.
