stuck booting [Solved] now setting up

**Reidy** · 27-09-11, 19:40

Got my box,

Plugged it all in and then switched it on.

Got th

e blue xtrend screen for a fee seconds, then t
he box says booting and the screen goes blank.

It was supposed to be pre loaded with vix.

Little bit scared now

What can I do?

m8, your gonna have to do a scan to bring in services, if your useing the vix image, menu/setup/service saerching/automatic scan. then set clear before scan to yes [keep feeds ] then scan tuner [ A ] THEN PRESS OK..... make sure you are set to single for your static dish in TUNER CONFIGURATIONS before you scan.....

But when do I press menu, i haven't pressed anything yet as the front still says booting. I was expecting a menu to come up

**wullboy** · 27-09-11, 20:06

does it show the vix boot logo with the words [ loading ] on it

**Reidy** · 27-09-11, 20:09

No, extend logo, with the box saying et9000.

Then screen goes blank and box says booting

You need to wait for the Xtrend starting and loading screens to appear then go through the startup wizard.

**wullboy** · 27-09-11, 20:23

i would have expected to see the image boot logo when booting the box m8, are we sure there is a image on the box [ not that i know the box ] but anytime a box reboots it has to see an image to boot on to, then you would go through the configurations m8 ??

**Reidy** · 27-09-11, 20:26

Im not getting a start up wizard thats the point.

Blue screen with something like 'Extrend, gateway to smart linux tv'

Then blank screen, and the box has Booting on its display.

**Reidy** · 27-09-11, 20:27

Well I ordered with vix

and this was in my email that I got today

We have pre-flashed ViX Team image for you and the latest bootloader ready for the next release of ViX 2.3 that uses a newer file system and linux kernel. So when the new image is released you will not need to flash the bootloader.
When you setup and finish the start up wizard, please update your ViX image. Blue button > VIX > Software update. Your software will be fully updated.

Have you plugged anything in since receiving the box? How long are you waiting. It may be image has thrown a wobbly in which case a reflash will fix it or something you have added (USB, HDD etc) is the problem.

**Reidy** · 27-09-11, 20:31

no hard drive, no usb, basically i wanted to see it up and running before even going there

I have just downloaded the image from this site, as its been an age and still nothing

**Reidy** · 27-09-11, 20:32

i assume i just power off the unit plug in the usb and power on and hope?

**Stanman** · 27-09-11, 20:33

If your confident, can try a reflash, or switch the box off and leave for 10 minutes and retry it if you have not already done it.

**Reidy** · 27-09-11, 20:34

Im not confident, but Ive already powered off and tried again, and each time its been stuck booting for 15+ minutes

1. Download the image to your desk top
2, extract the file on to your desktop
3. format your USB fat32
4. copy and paste the file ET900K to the USB
5. deep standby the box and switch of from the back and leave for 1 minute
6. Put the USB in the front port
7. Turn on the receiver from the power switch on the back
8. Image will be recognized and when it asks you "do you want to flash image" press OK on the front panel - will need to pull down the cover over the cam slots
9. Let it flash and will reboot of its own accord once done.
