Link in the first post appears incorrect for factory norns (part of the URL includes the previous release date). Found the image here: https://github.com/monome/norns-image/releases/download/201029/norns201029.zip

ah, good catch â fixed!
unfortunately this bricked my shield norns
Uh-oh; I was going to update mine (which has been working fine with the recent update) until I saw thisâŚ
Follow-up: Just to note that I ran the update to 201029 on a Norns Shield and everything seems to be fine so far.
all looked fine - pulled the power when it got to âshutting downâŚâ but now wonât reboot - going for a fresh install
sorry to read this â was this after there was no green light activity for a bit? the full shut down is indicated by no green light activity and takes about ~30 seconds after that message appears (vs the typical ~10 seconds for sleep).
just updated a shield here, no troubles rebooting.
brianâs following up with steps to recover without reflashing.

@leolodreamland please let me know if the new image works for you. it tested fine here, and iâm having a hard time figuring out why it would fail.
This happened to me as well with the 201023 update on my Norns Shield.
I had to reflash my SD card, but I had backups of my tapes and samples.
I just updated to 201029 using SYSTEM>UPDATE and all is well.
yes, itâs fine. and it still has my apps installed. this is good.
Ok this is weird, mine says up to date when I try and run the update
I ran 2310 ok,
I couldnât record anything to tape since last update though?
Also itâs showing a .json file after every audio file
if you press k2 on the SELECT/SYSTEM/SLEEP screen, does it say 201029?
if not and if UPDATE says youâre up to date, hold k1 and press k3 on UPDATE to refresh and populate the 201029 release

next person with a shield who updates: please open maiden when you run the update so you can capture the status of the update.
note that if your shield doesnât boot, you can still access all of your files by inserting your sd card into your computer and looking at the rootfs drive under /home/we/

Thank you very much
Ok so this is weirder - went again to update with your instructions, previously it said it was 2310 but when I did you button combo it said 2310 available so I chose that and it updated. It hung on the reboot screen but thankfully has rebooted
Slight update - still canât record to tape and then .json files are still visible
I havenât got time right now but Iâll do it connected to maiden when I try the 2910

Iâm having a world of weird here
Ok so I seem to be in a loop of some kind - i updated again to 2310 and it came up with 0 fw in the screen where your ip and fw are and wouldnât boot into any apps but did show the splash screeens and instructions for them
Sooo maiden it is - went to maiden and attempted the install and itâs maiden - it checks GitHub and keeps referring to /norns/releases/download/2.4.4/fates201023.sha256
Then another file with all the same but with tgz at the end
So presently I can now play all apps that Iâve tested, still showing .json files and I canât record to tape (it will play the audio though)
