Evoke 1Xt Software Update
I don't think the Evoke 1XT would have any significant bugs as its firmware is probably an evolution from previous radios. Unlike the Bug & Evoke-3, which had added functionality (EPG, recording, SD card playback) which led to several software updates in early versions to iron out gremlins.
Hi, My Pure Evoke 3 has stopped working this week. It's only around 3 years old and seems to be a software problem. The problem started last week when it kept trying to update the software automatically - even though I have already installed the newest version (v1.8) last year via my PC.

The only way to get rid of the update screen at first was to push any button, but after a while this stopped working and I had to turn it off and on again at the socket to get rid of it as it would completely lock up. On Monday it stopped working altogether. Now when I turn it off/on at the socket the screen flickers very slightly but will not come on. Pure support have been useless. They first of all suggested I do a reset even though I'd explained that I can't get the thing to even turn on. They then suggested I contact Radio Fix (as it's out of warranty) without even checking that their 'repair specialists' can't repair anything on an Evoke-3 other than a cracked display!!! So basically there is NO SOLUTION!
My £200+ radio that's only 3 years old is dead. Has anyone had any similar problems? Does anyone know of a way of resetting it without the use of the main menu (maybe via a PC)? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Hi Yes, I think I have had a very similar problem. On Wednesday March 10th, I found my Evoke 3 ( 4 years old) was 'dead' when I woke up to no alarm.
Since then it has very occaisionally come to life, (usually after a period without a power input) including letting me download the latest firmware! However, even when it powers up, the display is corrupted, and the front panel controls are arbitary, no tuning or channel selection works. Some remote functions (eg OK and volume) work Have you or anyone else found the same?
I'm not aware that the radio can be updated on air, but does anyone know differently? It seems bizare that we have such similar problems at the same time. Pure support have now agreed to look at the radio under warrenty and replace it if needed.
Will update if and when this happens. It looks like there is something wrong with this model regarding the auto update.
If I had been able to turn off the auto update I think this could have been avoided. There was no need for it to update as I'd already done it manually. Photop - I'd get in touch with Pure asap. It takes them 1-2 days to reply to each email you send so the sooner you start complaining the sooner you'll get your replacement! Hi, My Pure Evoke Radio was bought in Dec 2008 and was working fine until this Mon. On Mon 15/03 the radio was running plugged into mains power and a message came up which then said it was going to install a wi-fi upgrade, it then said that installation was in progress and that I should not turn off the radio. I left the radio installing, after a long while I noticed that aPure Evoke Flow logo had appeared on the display and that the update had appeared to be completed.
I left the radio as it was for a while and then I unplugged it. The next day I tried to plug on the radio and to turn it on but the radio is completely dead, it does not power on at all.
I cannot do any factory resets etc as the radio does not even turn on - it is completely dead. I have now contacted Pure customer support as I believe that my radio is within the warranty period - I will say what has happened. It sounds to me that it is very starnge that we all have been expereincing similar problems around the same date, almost as if there had been a bugged automatic update sent to the Pure Radio by Pure's update software services - hope this is resolved by Pure. I feel that they should fix this as it seems it was the update which caused the hardware to fail - an update appearingly sent via Pure. Please keep me updated of any progress you have on this issue.
Andy Clough: Thanks for the info, folks. I've forwarded a link to this thread to Pure's PR dept and have asked for a response. We're likely to be waiting at least over the weekend for a PR response, so.
I've had a Pure Evoke-3 for about 3 years, but I only upgraded from the v1.5 firmware it came with, to v1.8, on 2nd March this year. To date I haven't seen any of the problems reported by rustybrown, photop, or ccb; on v1.5, the LCD displayed an 'Out of Memory' error about once every six months, auto-reboot in seconds, otherwise nada. Rustybrown said they've been on v1.8 for at least several months ('last year'), and their radio stopped working Monday Mar 8th.after.
a week of problems. Photop said they managed to 'download latest firmware' since the problems started, so presumably.weren't. on v1.8 before that, and their problems.started. Wednesday Mar 10th. They even mention 'Pace' rather than 'Pure' in one post but I assume that's a typo? Ccb talks about a 'wi-fi upgrade' and 'Pure Evoke Flow logo', but describes their radio only as a 'Pure Evoke', not Evoke-3. Is it actually an Evoke Flow?
There's already a thread on problems with Flows on firmware v1.7 So potentially we're looking at three different setups, three different unit ages, three different failure symptoms around three different dates (i.e., no off-air trigger?) Three swallows don't make a summer, even if three sneezes is enough for the Daily Mail to scream 'flu epidemic'. Three people joining a forum in the same week could even be sockpuppets (only joking) As for repairs, the Evoke-3 at the top end of a range in which most units are nearer £100 than £200; if a repair is say £50 labour+parts+two-way post on a heavy radio+VAT, offering a reduced price replacement instead, especially if you get a full warranty rather than 3m on a repair, sounds like a sensible business model?
4 years isn't a.great. lifespan for basic electronics, but Pure have sold a lot of radios, and you can't stop the Bell Curve having outliers. And for alternatives, whereas the Evoke-3 was fairly unique when it came out, several models in the Roberts range (e.g., MP-53) now match or exceed its specifications (CD, iPod dock, USB drive playback.). For the record, I have no connection with Pure (or Roberts) whatsoever except as the owner of one working Evoke-3. I just don't think the problems reported in this thread add up to anything. Update My unit is now working, and seems to be back to its previous excellent performance.
This morning I decided to have a look inside and re seated the flex connector as well as a few other connectors On repowering, the unit sprang to life and started to tune So, looks like Im back up and running As an aside, in response to the earlier comment. My unit was I believe at the latest version, it simply re installed it The comment about is it cost effective is perhaps true in general, but not here in this case. The out of warrenty repair company offers a fixed rate repair on Pure radios which are considerably less cost, or no longer in manufacture, so its not unreasonable for a flagship product, which can still be purchased, to be supported I will follow the thread with interest. OK, here's the official response from Pure as promised: 'Any Evoke-3 radio suddenly reporting the need for a software upgrade will appear with a message on the screen saying something along the lines of 'Waiting for Upgrade - Press any key to exit'. It's what we call a 'USB loader' screen and it's the same message you'll see if you're attempting to update the radio manually (maybe to a later version of software), or if the radio has suffered a software problem it can't get itself out of and requires recovery. These failures are rare and can be caused by electrical spikes or some other harsh interruption of the radio's normal process, and if it happens the radio is programmed to default to it's 'USB loader' screen where it can await recovery. As for recovery - the process is pretty straightforward.
It involves downloading a small file from the Evoke-3 support page, attaching your radio to a Windows powered computer via a USB lead and running the file. Basically it's a small Winflash type program that will rewrite the radios operating system to the radio's EPROM - removing any corruption and starting the radio from afresh.
It takes about 5 mins to complete. The download can be found here: Instructions for recovery can be found here: In some very rare cases a radio defaulting to it's USB loader could be attributed to a failure of hardware - built this would be very rare and would remain in this state even if the new software update process had been attempted.
If this is the case then an in-warranty the radio would be repaired or replaced under the terms of the manufacturers warranty without question.'
