Hey Guys,
I basically went and flashed a friends box from Vix to Black Hole, I really liked black hole but after installing TS Panel i would occasionally get the green screen of death (enigma crash screen). I thought it might be because TS panel was supposed to over write system files, as per a prior post (not sure if it still does) so i decided to put back Vix on it as im supposed to set it up the box and just get it working for my friend, i went and loaded openvix-3.0.729 into the box and flashed, when i rebooted i got a blank screen and a green light on the box, not sure why. i reflashed the box again and the same thing, i tried to put the Black Hole image and again I would get the same result. I decided to try openvix-3.0.726 purely as it was the next to last release and the box booted fine this time after boot. The only issue i seem to have now is if the box needs to reboot or i press the restart button at the box the box seems to reboot but get the black screen and green light. I find pulling the power cable and putting in again seems to clear the issue. I did a quick search on the forum and found I needed to load a bootloader to the box before flashing. When i had flashed i had used a guide which basically said unzip the files into a usb stick and stick in and boot the box. Since it did not mention any bootloader and the latest vix thread for v3 does not have any bootloader attached am i right in thinking i dont need the bootloader? And can it be the cause of the blank screen, i have decided not to play with the box at the min since its booting but want to eliminate the rebooting issue.
