Trying to flash my nano2t wont read usb

[gsc1ugs]

I have 3 sticks (come on) none are recognised at boot up but can be seen in the menus once ita booted, last hope this. Thxs abu for your help before. I have done the guides, fat32 etc wont ipdate

Use a MAX 8GB stick. Format it FAT32 using HPTool: https://www.world-of-satellite.com/showthread.php?45-HP-USB-Stick-Drive-Format-Tool

[gsc1ugs]

Tried with 2 x 2gb fat32 and 1 x 4gb fat32 - nothing, all viewable when system booted up

Are you sure the folder structure is correct on USB stick?

[Andy_Hazza]

It happens unfortunately. You’ll need to purchase a good quality 8gb usb flash drive, preferably a Kingston one. I do use HP without issues as well.

Taken from the flashing guide.....


Flashing the Receiver.
– Fully power the receiver down via the rear rocker switch.
– Make sure no USB devices are plugged into the receiver at this point.
– Insert the USB stick containing the image files into one of the USB ports on the receiver.
– Power the receiver on.
– When prompted via the receivers display press the CH- button on the front panel to initiate
the flashing process.
– If successful you will will be instructed to reboot the receiver and remove the USB stick via
the receivers display / tv screen, only when you see this message is it safe to power the
receiver down.
The flashing process should take approximately two to four minutes to complete, while the receiver
is being flashed it is vitally important that you DO NOT power the receiver down for any reason as
this can cause serious and or permanent damage.

Done all that

…. so you're seeing the prompt to flash the receiver?

[gsc1ugs]

nothing, goes straight to booting, no prompt for update, tried front of unit and back

[Andy_Hazza]

Dodgy usb flash drive if you ask me.

What 3 of them? Sony, lg, Kingston

[ccs]

Your nano isn't seeing the flash drive quickly enough to initiate the boot process, if one stick doesn't work then plenty of others probably won't either.

It's just a matter of finding one that works ok.

Maybe try leaving the box powered off at the mains for 10 minutes before trying again.

I've had a lot of success formatting drives with Bootice by Pauly (http://www.willobuild.xyz/Utilities/Preparing%20Flash%20Drives.zip)

[bellejt]

format a stick with a small size partition from 256 Mb.Copy flash image on it and go.Works always here.

[gsc1ugs]

Just tried that thank you, no luck i'm afraid, can i not ftp in a drop the files onto the bootable areas?

[bellejt]

maybe zip file in media/hdd/imagebackup .
PS : Is it a genuine technomate or edision ? I have edision tm nano and for flashing images need to set under update optimussos1 instead of technomate.

[gsc1ugs]

yes genuine, you mean drop the zip file in imagebackup? how would i run the image?

[bellejt]

blue button - vix - imagebackup . Did not try it myself caus then I would need to flash again.

[gsc1ugs]

Doesnt work ofgwrite error

[Andy_Hazza]

What 3 of them? Sony, lg, Kingston

Yes all 3 of them. The way of life i’m afraid. You need to buy a new one, unfortunately.
