If you are trying to reflash the receiver while in a bootloop you MUST use a USB stick / Flash drive to reflash it you can NOT use the image manager to reflash it as you cant access the menus needed to initiate the flashing process.
Follow the Tutorial i linked to above, it gives very clear and easy to follow instructions on how to reflash a receiver using a USB stick or Flash drive.

ok what difference between a stick and hdd
and that tutiorial says how to reflash wihout a usb stick can u help me on that one please
No the link i posted in post 13 of this thread does not mention flashing without a USB stick, that method only works if you can access the internal menu structure of the image but as your receiver is in a bootloop you cant do that. as for using a USB hard drive yes it's possible but not recommended incase the drive disconnects during the flashing process as this could kill the receiver, plus you would need to format the drive first loosing every thing you may have on it.
Every thing you need to know about flashing the receiver by USB stick is in the tutorial i linked to in post 13.

iv tryed the 2nd method its not doing anything
its something about image manager but nothing coming up at all
you can not use the image manager to reflash a receiver that is locked in a bootloop it has to be done with a USB stick, if you dont have a USB stick you need to get one.

Download the image of your choice ( i'm using Black Hole 2.0.3 )
-Extract the image to your desktop.
-FTP the entire archive to your backup folder as follows /media/hdd/imagebackups/ ( you can
use /media/usb/image backups ) if you prefer to use a mounted USB stick, change the location as
needed in the image manager
your using the wrong tutorial, the one i linked to in post 13 titled How to flash a Vu+ Ultimo is the one you need and it's written so that any one can follow it, just substitute the ViX image for the one you want to flash.

Why are you using an old BH image? why not use an up-to date image, BH 2.0.8.x (I think) or current ViX (3.0.808) image?
ok whn got the box iv updated it with the usb hdd and updated fine now when iv the first tutioal not the reflashing one
its not allowing me the press the minus button as it asked me before i had ths bootloop
Sorry but i am finding it hard to understand your replies ( not your fault ), so have you managed to reflash the receiver or not ?.
If you have then upon rebooting the receiver for the first time you should be presented with the FIW ( first instal wizard ), this is where you setup the basics such as your tuner card and network.

no when i first got my box its had oringal firmware installed i couldnt find my usb stick so i used a usb hdd i follwed the tut first time and it allowed me to press the - button it updated fine... i then tryed something else and have to do a factory reset it rebooted and come up in a bootloop .. iv tryed going back putting the firmware back on like the first succesfull time and its not comming up on the box to press - thats my problem
If you are not being asked to press the - button the receiver is not detecting the HDD or the image files on it, try a real USB stick.
