    Question Zgemma H7S bricked?

    Good morning all. I have reflashed my H7S box doing the couch upgrade. It worked fine flashing openvix-5.3.039.release-zgemmah7. The box completed the flash and auto rebooted. But - the box now stops during boot showing "49" on the front panel. It is entirely unresponsive and all i can do is restart it on the rear button. Flashing from USB does not work. The perocedure to power down, put the USB stick in, power on pressing the front under flap button doesn't work. The box simply reboots and stops showing 49 on the front panel. I fear I now have a bricked H7S. What can I do now please?

    Thanks.

    You can flash using putty from your PC using Grog's script:

    wget --no-check-certificate -O install_vix.sh https://www.dropbox.com/s/hc2cdr116l...ll_vix.sh?dl=1 && bash install_vix.sh

    If using USB make sure you use the recovery version of the zip file: https://www.openvix.co.uk/openvix-bu...overy_emmc.zip

    Thanks for the very rapid response. Much appreciated. That "whooshing sound" is your advice flying way over my head. Your input is highly appreciated but way too techy for me to cope with. If there's a Janet and John walk through on how to do this, I'd really appreciate a pointer to it.

    Cheers.

    I am sure its not bricked! ... but it (for some reason) is probably crashing whilst booting up.
    did you restore settings after flashing or did you not get that far??

    So assuming you have putty installed (? - if not install)
    start a telnet session using putty - on the config panel enter your boxes IP address, click on telnet and port 23 ... hit open.
    then login using root and no password.
    type enigma2 and look for failures (usually you will see everything flash past and then if you page up you will see a failure

    Thanks. For the encouragment. The couch flashing session completed on the two progress bars visible on the TV screen. It (the box) then auto rebooted but froze showing "49". That's all I have managed to get the box to do since the flash. I had no idea "putty" is software. I am on a vertical learning curve here. I will try my best to do as you suggest then post back soon. Thank you so much for the support.

    Thank you, I sucessfully putty'd into the box. For enigma2, I copied and pasted the entire text to a document and did CTRL F. The word failure is not found in the document.

    Cheers.

    Instances of the word "fail*" in the enigma2 file just putty'd to -

    < 1104.8442> 11:35:14.1070 [eAVSwitch] failed to open /dev/dbox/fp0 to monitor

    < 1107.2501> 11:35:16.5130 [StbHardware] Error: getFPVersion failed!

    < 1108.5368> 11:35:17.7997 [InfoBarGenerics] Failed to load resumepoints: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/etc/enigma2/resumepoints.pkl'

    And that's it, folks. No more instances of "fail*" in that file. Cheers.

    Interesting its found a backup and then in a loop it would appear. (its an old backup ... vix-rel-5.2.045-20200807-1651.tar.gz)
    Where do you keep your settings backups? Internal or external HDD??
    If usb or external, detach and try reboot.
    If internal with filezilla login to the box and then find your hdd (under /media and then in teh /backup directory you should find the backups - rename or delete them) .... then reboot (init 6 in the telnet session will do that )

    If still issue, post new enigma2 log

    Thanks, back ups are kept on the box HDD. I have the directory open in Windows via network sharing. The path I have found is ZGEMMAH7 > Harddisk > backup . Does that look right? I can delete them from Windows?

    Edit - Ah, there's also root > media > hdd > backup too. Is that the one to delete files from?

    Thank you for your patience.

    hopefully! -> root > media > hdd > backup

    I would delete all but latest and rename latest so that you can rename back % restore settings ....... if you get back up!
