[VU+ Solo2] Flashing problem with openvix-Helios.001-vusolo2_usb.zip

Rob van der Does · Apr 21, 2014

A HDMI matrix? Is that a HDMI switch? If so, just try it once without it (so direct connection to TV). I've also had a very strange issue with a HDMI switch (quite some time ago, not related to this, but just to show that HDMI handshakes can invoke issues, albeit seldom).
Or even a Scart connection, if you have to (and disconnect the HDMI lead from the box).

I had hdmi issue on booting on duo --- stuck on starting would not boot , had to reconnect hdmi after fully starting
was not cable etc. duo / image just did not like tv

The matrix is similar to a switch but more functions , its for hdmi distribution around the house , I have my tv points wired back over cat6 to a central hub so I cannot try direct connection however I will try it again with the hdmi cable out and after a flash and reboot I will plug in cable and hope for the best

Ill post back results later.

No need for much trouble: just disconnect the HDMI-cable and use screengrabs and R/C in WEB-IF.

manufan1611 · Apr 21, 2014

No luck

I removed the hdmi and connected direct via scart to an old monitor/tv I had and it is the same so I guess we can rule out the hdmi matrix as the cause.

OK, then I have really no idea.
Build 003 is about to be released, maybe give that a try.

manufan1611 · Apr 21, 2014

OK Rob - thanks for your help

however that is now zeus and helios with the same problem for me

I also just downloaded openvix-3.0.808-vusolo2_usb.zip and that does not crash!? however I want to move to the latest so hopefully someone can figure what has changed since vix 3.0 build 808 and zeus and helios that is causing these problems.

Hmmm, not sure then. Really no idea what's up with the box. Can you flash other, recent images?

Rob van der Does · Apr 21, 2014

Last suggestion, long shot but you never know:
disconnect everything; all USB (even the stick you use for flashing) and the internal HDD and the Ethernet connector.

I am on 3 -802 , I tried flashing to latest of that type 3 - 808 and that works without crash at hdmi choice screen but any build after that i.e. zeus or helios crash into loop.

Ill figure out how to disconnect HD and give it one last go , other than that I will have to continue another day.

I have no idea why you highjack this thread and don't have the decency to create your own

Anyway: for that reason the feeds have been set to unstable.
And you can fix that issue by unzipping the attached file to
/usr/lib/enigma2/python/Screens

YAY! success:thumbsup:

With the HD disconnected the box has not crashed!

Thanks for your help Rob.

you mentioned build 003 helios - is this update only available through the box interface?

Rob van der Does · Apr 21, 2014

Good, at last.
Now I would reinitialize that HDD via a PC, then isntall it again and have it initialised by the box.

Yes, 003 is online, but there is an issue with it. See http://www.world-of-satellite.com/s...usolo2_usb-zip&p=284271&viewfull=1#post284271
If you're happy with your skills to fix that you can update.

No idea why you must post the same thing over and over again, but for the third time, this was fixed in build 004 which is online now. as for the image needing work, please remember we do this for free, we are not paid to provide images.

i am sorry about that rob i did not do it on purpose

my power supply blew on my PC giving me the Blue screen of death and i was having trouble logging in to the site (only just got back on line properly)
and saw the heading about Flashing problem with Helios and did not read the full post as i thought it was the same problem that i was having and still am
even with Helios 04

sorry again for my miss post

regards norm

Hi Rob,

Life has been busy so I will only re-attempt another update at the weekend.

You mentioned that I should reinitialize the hard drive via PC then again by the box before attempting upgrade.

I re-flashed my solo2 back to my other working image with the hard drive running. Can I initialize the HD now while its installed in solo2 by the solo2 before upgrading to latest image - would that do the job and prevent crash after upgrade?

thanks
