If you have an X20 or X20S with a version of ETHOS older than 1.2.10 then this will walk you through manually updating to get to the point where ETHOS Suite can update everything for you
ETHOS Suite makes updating your radio trivial, however you have to get to Firmware and Bootloader v1.2.10 or later before you can take advantage of this. The good news is that you only actually need to get the firmware and bootloader updated, you can use ETHOS Suite afterwards to sort the SD, Audio and Flash updates
Here's the procedure to do so:
1. Backup your SD card (copy all of it to a folder on your computer)
2. download the two zip files (for the firmware and the bootloader for your radio) and ETHOS Suite, unzip and put both firmware files on the root of your SD card, then eject the drives and unplug the radio from the PC.
3. Manually flash 1.2.6 from the Bootloader (it should do this automatically after you disconnect the radio)
4. Start the radio up, go to System->File Manager, tap bootloader.frsk and flash bootloader.
5. Install ETHOS Suite on your PC
6. Restart the radio in Bootloader mode
7. plug radio into PC
8. Do an Update All from ETHOS Suite to update your SD, Audio and Flash contents
9. rename bitmaps/user to bitmaps/models if ETHOS Suite does not do it for you
You need 1.1.4 or later to easily install the bootloader, so it's easiest to just go to 1.2.6 directly
The hard part of updating is the SD/Audio/Flash contents, this procedure lets you do that the easy way (ETHOS Suite)
When complete, you will now be able to update in ETHOS Suite for everything.
