os mini this is not a genuine stb message

[antoh85]

hi,

i bought a new os mini s2 box and flashed with openvix. it worked fine the evening i flashed it, new skin, softcam the lot not a problem. the next day i was connecting it up to a tri link with magic eye when i got a message on screen saying "this is not a genuine set top box". this stays on the screen until reboot but comes back after 2mins. i tried reflashing but still the same.

as far as i know its a genuine box bought from a legit company. i bought os minis off them in the past and so far iv had no one complain.

have i done something wrong or are these guys just selling bad boxes and is there a way i can fix this.

thanks

Where is the message coming from, the STB or the screen/TV?
Any ports open on your router?

Hi, thanks for reply.

Message is coming up on tv screen and stops picture and sound, then cannot be removed until box is restarted. No ports open on router but happens weather its connected to net or not.

Stb display shows normal details. If i change channel lcd on box changes but still have message on screen

Are you sure your ports are not open? Try without your ethernet cable & with Wifi disabled. Sounds like you've been hacked to me personally.

im positive there are no ports open. I sent it up on my own broadband and all was fine. The next day i connected it up for someone who uses the same provider. They only recently got the broadband installed and by default all ports are closed.

The message came up when the box was connected to ethernet cable. I disconnected box from broadband, reset and reflashed box but its still happening.

How could it have been hacked?

Somebody had this message last year, cannot remember if it was an open ports issue or they had a "bad" plugin installed.

You say you disconnectef the Ethernet cable, did you also disable the wifi, the edisons have built in wifi and it may have been connected to the net with this, disable all network and try again, a photo of the message would help, also check if you have any streaming clients connected the box in the information page.

Take a pic of the message & upload it.

100% the box is not connected to any source of internet. No ports on router open too.

Possibly a bad plugin but iv used the same plugin on 4 other boxes. Would it make a difference that after i flashed with vix i used a restore from another box. I used the same restore on other boxes and so far they are fine.

flash it with vix and setup from new, no restore from another image

[antoh85]

Iv tried that. Tried with vix and pli. Before i get throught the basic set up after flash the message comes back up on the screen after about 2 mins

so you are saying that you have tried a full fresh flash without restoring anything? in that case I would speak to the people that sold you the box. this is either to do with ports, in which someone has access to box, or something that the seller has done

Got to agree with John Doe. Something dodgy about this box. Would a factory reset help.
