    @pomme

    sudo su -
    curl 'http://pastebin.com/download/e2ZKSMr1' -o 'patched_rpi-update.sh' -L -B
    cp patched_rpi-update.sh /usr/bin/rpi-update
    chmod +x /usr/bin/rpi-update
    /usr/bin/rpi-update 771a503cfc2a1130e2df2a4ddfc45ffa0f592b3f

    the script is not from me, this awesome guy created it but I had issues with the curl command (certificates?!?) https://github.com/Hexxeh/rpi-update

    if you want to upgrade to the latest firmware simply use:

    /usr/bin/rpi-update

    good luck! let me know how it goes

      @trixter1981 your post is missing some necessary line breaks:

      sudo su -
      curl 'http://pastebin.com/raw/e2ZKSMr1' -o 'patched_rpi-update.sh' -L -B
      tr -d '\015' < patched_rpi-update.sh > /usr/bin/rpi-update
      chmod +x /usr/bin/rpi-update
      /usr/bin/rpi-update 771a503cfc2a1130e2df2a4ddfc45ffa0f592b3f
      rm ~/patched_rpi-update.sh
      exit

        Sorry, but I'm having trouble getting the instructions above to work properly. I get this error after following them and running the rpi-update script:

        -bash: /usr/bin/rpi-update: /bin/bash^M: bad interpreter: No such file or directory

        I undid my work and followed the instructions again and got the same error.
        Is it reading an ^M character after the shell declaration on the top line? I tried re-typing that line with nano and vim and neither made a difference.

          @JPL I've edited my post to reflect how to fix that.

                @trixter1981 thanks for posting this downgrade script.
                I'll try it to solve the Logitech controller not working issue after 3.8 update.

                Did you report the kernel problem on Github ?
                I would do it but I'm not skilled enough to technically explain this kernel problem.

                  Can you please tell me what I'm doing wrong here with permissions?

                  First line works ok:

                  sudo curl 'http://pastebin.com/raw/e2ZKSMr1' -o 'patched_rpi-update.sh' -L -B
                  % Total % Received % Xferd Average Speed Time Time Time Current
                  Dload Upload Total Spent Left Speed
                  100 11038 0 11038 0 0 90959 0 --:--:-- --:--:-- --:--:-- 91983

                  Then I have trouble with:

                  sudo tr -d '\015' < patched_rpi-update.sh > /usr/bin/rpi-update

                  -bash: /usr/bin/rpi-update: Permission denied

                  which means I get the certificate errors carrying on with the further commands.

                    I got this error too. Make sure you are logged in as root user. You may need to create a root user account.

                      @pomme Yeah, I should have mentioned you should run sudo su - (to switch to root) before doing any of this. Fixed my post (again).

                        worked perfectly thank you.

                        can we easily upgrade to the newly released 3.8.1 without the kernel jumping back up to the broken version?

                          done the upgrade to 3.8.1, it's okay. The kernel is untouched.

                            RPI 3
                            Retropie 4.0-dev

                            Having the same issues getting wireless 360 receiver to work consistently after fresh install and enabling xboxdrv via the script. Tearing my hair out! No output from jstest /dev/input/js0.

                            However, I too can get it to work by logging into SSH as root and using:

                            killall xboxdrv
                            xboxdrv --trigger-as-button --id 0 --led 2 --deadzone 4000 --silent & sleep 1

                            This didn't work until I blacklisted xpad and installed xboxdrv via apt-get

                            Randomly the controller stops working and you have to redo it. Restarting puts you back a square one, but the workaround IS consistent it seems.....

                            What the hell am I doing wrong?

                              @zanie420 if you read down below my post (trixter1981 & raelik posts), there is a workaround that will downgrade the kernel. The xboxdrv seams to work pretty consistently after this downgrade.

                                Hi All,

                                Apologies, another Newb.....

                                I tried the script in above...sudo worked, curl worked and it downloaded something...

                                hard to tell if tr-d worked or not.....

                                same with chmod , did not seem to do much, but no error either....

                                when I get to the line /usr/ line I get a syntax error.... is this suppose to be a continuation of the line above ? what does it do ?

                                Apologies for the basic questions.

                                Thx
                                Jim

                                  Another Newb when it comes to installing scripts and Linux Kernels, ..cannot get past the first part without errors so far... Attempting this on clean install of V3.81 , over an hour struggling... will keep trying.

                                  I would hope there would be an updated image release soon that officially addresses this??

                                  Update: I gave up. had to start over with a clean install of retropie V 3.6 which uses an older Kernel. Works fine now.... Hopefully there is an update soon that addresses out of box issues with 3.81.

                                    Hi,

                                    I'm getting a gzip error when running the final command and it performs the rollback - any ideas?

                                          Thank you. This worked so far.
                                          But one question for the future: how to roll back?
                                          apg-get update and upgrade does not install the newest kernel anymore.
                                          How do I switch back to an upgrading distribution when the problems have been fixed?
                                          regards PhantombrainM
