Hi,

Currently I have 3 boxes setup at home.

TM-Nano-3T, Gigablue x1 and a Miraclebox Micro Premium.

The process I follow for reflashing which seems to work without issue and has worked with the new VIX Image is:

1. Image Backup
2. Copy dowloaded upgrade zip file to hdd\imagebackups
3. Start Image Restore Process

On the other boxes this worked fine (I've done it this way for ages as I'm lazy and can't be bothered to use a usb stick).

The MiracleBox rebooted and now I have no signal to the screen. So I created a fat32 usb drive and tried reflashing according the Reflash pdf.

The problem is that the blue indicator on the MB does not blink so nothing happens.

Any ideas?

Many Thanks

Yellow Ostrich.

Don't worry, fixed.

Found my old faithful. Little Red Flashing Usb stick and it did the trick.

Sorry to be a pain,

Yellow Ostrich.

Why don,t you do the image and settings backups, then go to image backup, download images choose your new image version, and then restore ..... Don,t have use to touch a usb or copy the file anywhere

Managed to get it working by flashing from a clean USB - lost all my settings so having to re-setup the box again.

Flashing from image manager resulted in a dead box.

.... you'll always lose your settings if you haven't backed them up.

With an image backup you can get back to where you were, should the need arise, in a matter of minutes.

did back up my settings - know how the backup procedure works. worked fine on my premium ultra box without issues however on the micro the procedure failed.

To micro users out there - beware.
