A little help needed on 1st set up

[dikkidave]

Hi, Hope you don't mind me asking; but i have just got a se box, at the moment it says openvix on the screen and pretty much nothing else happening lol, can you tell me if i need to put both the preflash/finish or just the finish to flash it to team red for the 1st time?
Also team vix have just done an new f/w update today which is best team red or vix?

No doubt i will have more questions as i go along lol

Thanks

Was the unit purchased from the sponsor? If so it already has latest ViX.

You need to go through the startup wizard, setup, scan channels or upload settings/bouqurts.

Do not start flashing old images with preflash, as that is a very old bootloader.

Hi, thanks for the rapid reply, yes it was bought off the sponsor, the last update says 2012-08-14 version 3.0 build 204, I will leave that as it is then and start the set up wizzard again,

Regards

Yes just do a factory reset.

Buggered it up already. i was trying to set up my card & oscam or cccam, after getting nowhere and looking everywhere i thought i needed the teamR finish files on it, there where 2 folders and i picked the wrong one.. now i'm getting gigablue loading on the screen and thats it.. i tried to reinstall openvix but it doesnt reboot, just keeps gong back to the same screen.. Needless to say i'm well gutted and don't have a clue what to do next

I had already tried tose files but i downloaded them again and retried, when i put the 1st files to usb plug it into the box it goes to boot and then load, the openvix world of sat page comes on screen but doesn't reboot then screen goes black then up comes another screenie saying gigablue loading, it doesn't go any further, the led on the box counts upto 25 and stays the same,
When i plug the usb back into the computer it shows about 10 files like enigma_2_crash_84

Format the USB fat32.

Flash the bootloader as instructed. Once it says boot on front screen, power off.

Then flash the image.

Make sure all other files are deleted off your USB stick during each stage.

Done all that mate, still no joy, am i missing something silly like unplugging ethernet cable or f-conector? just wont reboot when it's loading lol

[dikkidave]

Got it sorted'ish now mate, i had to put the teamred f/w onto it, it must of loaded so far then packed up. regretting that now though as the openvix looks a lot better and boots up quicker.. but i dern't try flashing it lol, i will get use tot he box 1st i think.

Thanks

Follow my instructions in post 7 of this thread. Flash the new bootloader. Then to flash the new ViX image you need to follow the instructions in the bootloader thread: -

To flash new images.

1. Copy the gigablue folder from your chosen image to root of USB stick.
2. Power off receiver
3. Connect USB stick to front port and power on.
4. As soon as the display shows 'conf', press OK button behind front flap.
5. During flash the LED behind standby button witl start blinking purple and other text/numbers will appear on VFD.
6. Wait for the receiver to automatically reboot when complete.

Done this

Copy both burn.bat and cfe.bin to root of USB stick
Power off receiver.
Connect USB stick to receiver and power on.
Wait a few second for the bootloader to flash and the receiver to reboot.

But instead of the box rebooting it started up as normal and is now on bbc 1 lol tried this 3 times on 2 diferent usb sticks

Well its rebooted then hasn't it, if your back to TV viewing. When you 1st power on flashing the bootloader are you gettings activity on the front VFD of the receiver? Now flash the ViX image and PRESS OK BEHIND FRONT FLAP WHEN CONF APPEARS ON VFD.
