Tamagotchi Uni OS Reinstall Function Discovered
Never under estimate the members of the Tamagotchi Community! Akraut on Reddit was able to discover a hidden menu on the Tamagotchi Uni that provides the option to reinstall the OS (operating system). This functionality does require a wifi connection. If you’ve never installed a software update, the restore version option appears to be disabled.
1. Hold down A and C buttons, while pressing reset. Keep holding them until after the startup screen and tune play.
2. Choose the new option Restore Ver from the reset menu. Your Uni will connect to Wifi to redownload software. When it's done, it will go to the powered-off mode the same as if it ran out of battery. Without a configured wifi connection, this option will be disabled, but will still show up.
3. If you wake it, you'll need to download more data, then you'll be given the option to wipe out the tama memory, or keep it.
4. If you keep your data, it will connect to wifi still another time before restoring your save and resuming.
Akraut notes that being on this menu might be a pause workaround. We’re still hoping that Bandai adds a true off option in an upcoming software update.
