*****URGENT TO THE OPENVIX TEAM*****

Please fix the image because if you try to flash it you block the SF4008 and it cannot boot!

Waiting for your help.

Use an older image and without logs your report is useless.

How do I provide logs if the receiver won't boot?

The issue is with all OpenViX 5.3 versions.

I'm would imagine that someone would have reported this problem in the past 8 months since 5.3 was released.

Is it something to do with the new recovery menu?

Sf4008 hasn‘t changed in months

Have you renamed the noforce folder to force ??????

No, SF4008 does not have this.

I thought I'd bricked my SF4008 some time ago and the WoS support team sent me this recovery file.
It sorted it for me anyway.

You should check how to install - this is a normal requirement for the sf4008 from the year dot and most people flash online with ViX ImageManager - much simpler

This update was required for all images from February 2018, nothing to do with the ViX Team.

I know how to install, since other images work, OpenViX doesn't.

@a19a Until 3 weeks ago I used the SF4008 with the latest vix at the time with no problems whatsoever. I only changed the SF4008 because the remote control also controlled my Formuler Z8 and vice a versa , very annoying. Clearly you have problems,it may pay to explore other avenues than just vix. Good luck.

Are you flashing by USB or using ofgwrite via Image Manager?

I have compared the file structures, they all contain the same filenames. The biggest difference is the size of the image, a whopping 10MB. The receivers have a maximum size of image that can be flashed by USB. This is not the same as the maximum size of flash.


How do I provide logs if the receiver won't boot?

Serial cable?

Use image manager tool. FTP your 5.3.025 image to your receiver and flash via Blue button > ViX > Image Manager then highlight 5.3.025 and press the Blue button to flash.

Could other people who say there isn't a problem try by flashing by USB. Make a settings backup so you can restore it afterwards.

Identifying problem and fixing it is a lot better than avoiding it.
