View Full Version : Update to latest vix and box just sits at booting...
Good day all, I updated my sf4008 last night via the update menu and the box just sits at booting... I have no idea where to start, I did backup everything before the update but as the box will not boot do not know how to resolve this. Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks GWS
Flash with a clean image and then restore your backup.
I had the very same problem,,,tried everything possible...ive sent it back too wos..and now its been sent onto octagon for repair :(
I've seen a few posts about online updates and ARM boxes.
I always flash from USB and restore settings.

I’ve never had such issues with my Vu+ ARM receivers. (Solo 4K & Ultimo 4K)

2 of them were SF4008's so possibly something to do with updated drivers? The other was a HD51 I think.
Maybe it's just a coincidence.
Thanks for the info, I have tried with 4 usb sticks and nothing happens,it just sits there with the booting message. Time to contact WoS I think.

Use a MAX8GB stick. Use a REAR USB port.

I did all that myself ..brought various flashdrives including a Kingston stick 8gb...also tried the fix and also the hp format tool...no matter what firmware I tried or which usb socket I tried,,nothing worked...sent mine back too wos on Tuesday..had a email today saying the unit is being sent back to octagon for repair :(

Your issue was totally different, yours kept getting stuck flashing rootfilesystem or something along those lines.
yer it went too rootfile system...then hung on booting.....but was only trying too give the lad a heads up...I was on mine almost a week before I gave in and sent it back....hope gws does have the quicker option as ive now got to wait 2-4 weeks

I received support from WoS who said more or less what you have said. I found a real old usb stick (128Mb given away free with PC world magazine) formatted and did the re flash and it worked. I really dont understand why the boxes are so fussy about the usb, is it a linux thing? Thanks too all. GWS
Had the same problem but used an alternative image until a new Openvix image came out. Flashed the latest Openvix image without a problem.
