    Can someone please upload everything I need to get my CycloDS working as they are after you update your card. I think the updater on my CycloDS is broken and I would greatly appreciate it.

    You can get the beta firmware from the Team Cyclops forums: Here
    You can get the latest stable firmware from their support page: Here

    The Beta firmware actually has a higher compatibility, and you can explore the bugs topic in that forum to see if any of the bugs would make it or break it for you (in choice, not actually breaking your cart :p).

    The updates don't work man. I need the raw system files.

    Those are the raw system files. Everything should be there. I linked you to the last stable version also in case the beta didn't contain all of the system files. If your card is screwed up, back up, format, put on fresh firmware.

    That's what he gave you.

    If it's not working, did you extract the files at all?

    no man the file there download is update.evo. My card can't convert that to the new firmware. It freezes on the 'updating' screen

    Back up everything on your MicroSD card, format, put everything back on, and try again. I don't even have a CycloDS, so I can't help you beyond a certain point.

    Holy crap man it works. You have no idea how happy you made me bro, you have my eternal gratitude. Do you know if I can update firmware normally again or if it's always fucked?

    You should be ok now. If it should happen again which i doubt, just repeat.

    I Never knew about this function... such a great card.

    The root files for the CycloDS are just some basic configuration settings. CycloDS doesn't hold any of the firmware files on the MicroSD, (So you can start it up with a freshly formatted MicroSD with no files on it). So uploading your files wouldn't help him much :)
