Unable to flash the Octagon SF4008 by USB??

[twol]

Apparently, you can lose the ability to USB flash this box (haven't seen it but I always Couch flash Online).
If so add the following files "partition.update" and "update.bin" (from the attached zip) to the normal sf4008 folder on your USB and then flash from the USB as per normal.

Recovery Information: Update with USB Does not work now ....

The Sf4008 uses a mini system around the box with a USB stick to bottles.

In case of a malfunction or loss of the update system in the Flash, you only notice if you want to install a new image via USB,
The installation is not possible.

In normal operation or if you only update the update by updating online, you will not notice it.

Here is a tutorial on how to repair the MiniUpdate system.

It is not necessary to make an update as long as you have no problems
The content in the zip file is identical to the update system in your box.

HowTo:

1) Get a current image
2) Unzip the Zip file to a USB stick.
3) Download the recovery zip file and unzip the contents to the USB stick: sf4008_recovery_1.0.zip

On the USB stick should now look like this:

4) Switch off the device (without power) at the mains switch.
5) Insert the USB stick into the USB port on the front.
6) Switch the appliance on at the mains switch.
7) Press the front power button.
8) The image is now written, takes about 2-3 minutes.
9) After the flash process is completed, a reboot is performed.

bassethound - I have already tried this and it goes into rootfile system and just hangs there.
