I’m really glad my post has helped someone other than myself. All credit to Itokazie though. It is his firmware. Right now though, I’m locked out of my eGreat/Popcorn via Telnet. I can’t remember the password or user name. I though it was the default, but it’s not being accepted. I’m now trying to find a way to create a new user, so I can access it and make some internal changes. Maybe I should just try re-flashing it again and see if I get given access again? Enjoy your refreshed M34A. It’s a great device.

Hi,
I was about to sell my M34A because no more firmware updates for it (couldn’t play some new encoded anime/movies I have) when I found this post.

I successfully crossflashed my M34A and now I can play those new anime and movies.

Thank you for sharing this.

Hi,
I managed to do it.
I used the PCH recovery procedure.
The outcome is that my egreat 32b runs the A110 firmware and nmt apps.
The only issue is that I lost all the indicators on the front panel of the egreat 32B. Maybe someone could figure out how to mereg the PCH firmware and the egreat specific code.

My first commenter 🙂

I’m not aware of anyone who has used this trick with the 32B. HOWEVER, a quick internet search tells me that the 32B uses the very same SMP8635 Chipset as the M34A & M31B, so I expect this trick should work on your machine. Do your own research first. Confirm this though. A good place to start is by checking out the thread on the AVS Forum and ask there, if you’re still uncertain. Here’s a link to the AVS Forum where zrbd talks about the Sigma 8635 Chipset.

The hard drive shouldn’t be an issue as the M31B has an internal hard drive. Likewise the DVD drive. It may require setting up again, but this shouldn’t be an issue. I’m not sure just how easy it is to brick these eGreat devices, but they seem pretty robust to me. From what I’ve read on the AVS forum, it’s pretty easy to revert back to the original eGreat firmware, if you need to.

What I would suggest is that you ask the good people on the AVS Forum. I’ll probably be going there myself, as I’m about to try doing all this again, but with setting up the Apps on a USB Stick or external hard drive.

I suppose I should put in a disclaimer, saying something like “Do this at your own risk”, but hey, I’m not your Mumma. Take care.

Hi,
Do you know of anyone who used it with egreat 32B?
From the screen shot I can see you have no HD, does it matter? I also have a DVD drive.

If you have further information or guidance it would be really appriciated.

Thanks for the information.
