Just dragged this box out of storage for my daughter to use and thought it might be worth doing a full flash and bring it up to date.

Frist tried to go directly to the latest image but it didn't work so then had a go with the oldest Hades I could find (either 4 or 5..?) but still wont upgrade.

Have tried another usb stick.

You cannot perform an online update. Please explain how you are performing an "upgrade".

Normally people make a settings backup. Flash new image and restore settings but not plugins.

You have the press the down arrow on the box to start the flashing process the display will then say FLASHING or UPGRADE on the front. I can't remember exactly what the text says

ViX 3.2-030 is the latest build.

Did a full reset on the box and this time the upgrade to Vix 3.2-030 worked as expected.

However at some point during the setup procedure (i think it was the mounts) it rebooted but only made back it to the first screen and the spinning Vix Logo...

Went through the upgrade procedure a couple more times and just the same.

Gone back to Apollo 166 and now works fine, so might just leave it at this…

There is a posting somewhere on the forum and a user has just the same issue…sorry can’t find it..!

Factory reset doesn't do much. If you want to do a proper "factory reset", best way is to flash/install image again.

Polite request:
You should really stop using the term "upgrade", it is ambiguous and does not help identify exactly what you did. If you have installed image version 3.2, build 030, how can you upgrade/update? It is the latest public image ( correct at the time of writing).
