Then it's pretty straightforward to backup each of the partitions by selecting the partition (the NAND Partitions selection box), then clicking the "Backup Partition" button.  I'm not sure if they are all important when repacking the update image, but I would say get all 8 of them to be on the safe side.

That took way longer than it should have. 😥  After installing Ubuntu and following your instructions, I just couldn't get it to work.  I tried your "easy" instructions, then went back and tried doing the other ones from scratch.  I just couldn't get the device to show up.  Then I remembered reading about someone saying they had to use a better quality cord.  I grabbed the cord from my NES Classic and plugged it in, and instantly it showed up.

 

I have no idea what to do with these, but here are all of the partitions backed up from my v21 firmware.  Hopefully I did it correctly, and hopefully someone can use it to make an updated .img for anyone that wants to use it.  

 

Now that I have it working, please let me know if there is anything else I can provide.  I am going to hold off on installing the CFW for awhile.  I am still trying to find out if there any worthwhile changes in my newer firmware that I potentially will want to keep.

About the "late Model" AFBXs.... I havent been able to keep up on what models and FW revisions are out there.

This latest one is the first I've heard that they have OTG support Out Of The Box. and im also pretty sure v21

is the latest ive heard yet. is it a standard or deluxe model? just wondering. 

That said, no one knows whats new on this version, besides OTG OOTB support that we just learned.
At any rate, I wish we could dump the FW and pack a new CFW with the changes recently made. anyone know how

to dump the FW? anyone, anyone... buler?

It is a standard model that I ordered from Menards.com last week.  It has the reset button accessible on the bottom of the case.  It has the batch code on the bottom, D10908, as the one that @rocketfan picked up from Sam's Club.  I know those should be the deluxe models.

 

I'd be happy to help dump the firmware if someone can provide instructions on that.

Hello everyone!

 

I am brand new to all of this.  I just picked up a Flashback X and am anxious to get the CFW setup on it.  The only problem is that my version comes with firmware v0.1.21.

 

I don't see any reference to that version number anywhere.  Am I going to run into problems by potentially using an "older" version of the firmware than what is included in the CFW?  I have no idea of what possible improvements v21 could contain since there is nothing on their website about it.  Right out of the box it allows me to put additional games on a flash drive and they work.  But I am looking forward to having the customized box art and additional themes.  Does anyone have any thoughts on this?
