Reflash a Max receiver

[roystheboy]

Hi guys I need to reflash my Max receiver but I got a problem when I switch the Max receiver off and put the USB in to reflash it there should be two red lights on the front but only one red light is there and one purple and wont flash the receiver ,do you think that I should do a factory reset then try to flash it again hope you can help cheers take care

A factory reset will not be needed to flash the receiver as the flash process it self will wipe the previous image.

Have you formatted the stick your using ?.
Have you tried more than one USB stick ?.
Have you tried more than one USB port ?.
Have you removed all other USB devices while trying to flash the receiver ?.
What is the file structure of the image on the stick you are using ?.
where did you source the image ?.

Basically as much info as you can provide will help us to help you.

Hi Version 3 Build 665 Kernel 3.6.1 dont know if thats what you need cheers take care

[Larry-G]

your on build 665 then. Try a online update to the latest build where you will be able to flash the receiver directly from within the image manager it self.

This is the flash procedure for the xp1000 so where exactly is it going wrong for you ??.

1) Format a USB stick FAT32.
2) Download your image and extract then copy the whole XP1000 folder to root of your USB stick.
3) Connect to rear USB port and power on.
4) Wait for both RED REC LED and LED on front standby button to appear RED then press CH+ behind front flap.
5) Wait for the image to flash, during the procedure the standby button LED will appear purple.
6) Once complete the XP1000 will automatically reboot.

Its possible that your pc / lappy is not formatting your USB pen..

Download and install the HP formatting tool.. Found :

Very simple to use.. And this should make your USB pen compatible..

Make sure you unzip the file you downloaded too Putting the compressed file onto the stick directly won't work!!!!
