Openvix update just killed my box !

[gadget-man]

Well this is bad, I just selected to update today's openvix and reboot my my box and it ended up stuck at the "please wait while your box updates" I left it for quite some time but it just stayed like that.

So I had no choice but to turn it off, and now It won't load up any more, the display just keeps loading up to 100 and starts all over again.

Any ideas how to fix please ?

Download latest image to usb , flash image and restore the settings you backed up previously ? :)

Ok thanks not sure how to flash via usb when it won't boot up, do I just insert the use and switch on.

An E2 crash, if you upload a crashlog it could help. Most likely a plugin causing it.

Firstly i have a Miraclebox Premium Ultra.;)

But i would say it is the same thing..........

1........ Turn off STB (Switch at back of box)
2........ Insert usb and switch on

It will ask you "do you wish to update"
Select "yes" by pressing arrow button ON BOX.

and let it go!!!!

It should now Up-Date..........:thumbsup:


Hope this will help you:sofahide:

Thanks guys I'm all sorted, I downloaded the image and flash it via usb, the. Then restored the backup it made before it all went wrong.

Strange as all previous updates have been fine and usually are done within a few minutes.

Thanks for the quick help :-)

By the way it still says their is new update but I will leave it after what just happened I think.

I'm worried it will break again.

To find out what is causing the icon telnet to the box and type the following.

opkg update && opkg list-upgradable

I sometimes find with the Vix updates on these boxes I have to manually swtich off and on as it doesn't do it as part of upgrade.
Once rebooted it shows latest version.

That is indeed possible, and most probably a sign you should reflash the box.
