ive tried another one but no joy still the same

I had issues with USBs before, hence the suggestion. Hopefully somebody familiar with Venton will reply soon. I've had a few boot problems in the past but always managed to get going - don't panic.

Give it a little time for a reply.

Try updating the bootloader then reflash the image again.

Use a USB stick max size 8GB, user rear port. Format the stick with HP Tool http://www.world-of-satellite.com/sh...SB-Format-Tool

is this for a pc as my mac does not open it

i have used disk utility on the mac and that formats the usb sticks fine so will this hp tool make any difference ?

Hi Mickntori. I have the exact same problem on the Venton HD1. Have you found a resolve?

**porche944** · 11-08-13, 10:38

I've got the same problem!

I think the only way out is to flash the box again using the RS232 port on the back of the Venton.

I can't find any software that is compatable with the Venton, there is software for flashing using the RS232 for the Vu+ boxes but I don't know if it is safe to use on the Venton.

Does anyone know if it can be used? Or have a link to the Venton flash tool?

Many thanks.
