my Pandigital wont download Sam5
I keep trying to download the new Sam5 but it keeps telling me it cant be installed. I have Sam4 on it right now, and SlideME wont open correctly. I cant browse through apps, but wifi is on and connected
RE: my Pandigital wont download Sam5
Pandigitals are older devices that are not compatible with SAM 5. You can try SAM 4.62, which was the last revision to SAM 4 that we still support:
