      Gregory BurchJul 28, 2025
      If your Pocketbook eBook Reader displays 'Upgrade image is corrupted or Image is empty', it means the SWUPDATE.BIN file is damaged or there's not enough space on your microSD card. Try deleting some files from your card, then recopy the SWUPDATE.BIN file. If the problem continues, download the file again from www.pocketbook-int.com or use a different microSD card.

      If your Pocketbook eBook Reader says 'No upgrade image found', it's because the SWUPDATE.BIN file is missing from your microSD card. To fix this, format your microSD card (after backing up its contents) and copy the SWUPDATE.BIN file to the root directory. If the error continues, try using a different microSD card.

      If your Pocketbook eBook Reader displays an error indicating that a different firmware version is installed, it's because an older firmware file is stored in the device's internal memory. Delete the old firmware file from the device's internal memory root folder.
