Instructions:
NOTE: If is your first time installing this CFW, the file to use is sd_image.bin or flasher opk, afterwards you can use always use opks update files for future releases. Using the sd_image.bin or flasher opk erases all data on the sdcard!! If you're updating from another CFW you may want to make a backup of the folders local/home and local/app first to preserve emulators/apps, their settings, and your game saves.
Instruction for updating from an OPK update file (No need to open the console):
- Place the update opk file in /media/data/apps or /media/sdcard/apps.
- Run from your preferred launcher.
- Allow process to complete.
- Reboot.
- If the system fails to boot, press Y to boot to the last working kernel, or X to boot to the last working rootfs. X+Y will load your previous OS version.
Instructions for a clean update / fix internal sdcard:
NOTE: This method erases the microsd, so backup of all your files beforehand as mentioned above.

This works for GMENUNX.
You can copy the kernel or rootfs to the internal SD card of the RG350 using FTP, SFTP or SCP. I recommend SCP since it is just one line on the command prompt. It does require setting up SSH keypair authentication beforehand though.
for the kernel
scp vmlinuz.bin [email protected]:/media/system/
scp modules.squashfs [email protected]:/media/system/update_m.bin
for the rootfs
scp rootfs.squashfs [email protected]:/media/system/update_r.bin
Reboot the RG350 to activate the new kernel or rootfs. Don't use the reset button as part of the kernel or of the rootfs may not have been flushed from the write cache yet.
You can use:
ssh [email protected]
RG350:media/data/local/home# reboot
