Let me flash 41 on tmtwin and get serial logs. Give me a moment.

[dougieduncan]

right I am just going to switch it off at rocker switch and hope for the best

[abu baniaz]

I had 32 on, updated to 42 without an issue. Flashed 41, no restores or plugins etc. Updated to 42 fine too.

[dougieduncan]

abu thanks for the reply do you think its ok to switch off and then back on

[dougieduncan]

right too late ive switched it off at rocker switch , switched back on got the technomate screen but box is now stating booting

[abu baniaz]

If you can get serial boot logs (using a serial cable), that could lead to identify the problem. If not, perform a USB flash of 41. I can only guess it is a plugin/driver you had installed. Sorry, if I am mistaken.

With the TMs, if it is stuck on "booting", not a big deal. If it is stuck on "starting" that is a very big deal.

Online update to 42 working fine here, just a glitch/network issue when you tried?

[abu baniaz]

If you can list what plugins etc you had installed, taht could help find what caused issue.

[dougieduncan]

yes thanks abu got it going reflash with usb to 41 done the trick

[dougieduncan]

abu yeh could be a glitch or something when doing update , only plugins were ts media

041 had an opkg config file for ocram (picon files). But that server isn't/wasn't running, so any attempt to update or add extensions failed.
The "cure" was to delete the ocram config file in /etc/opkg.
In 042 the config file has been removed.

Mind you, even with that config file in place it shouldn't hang - just take a long time to come back with nothing.
