unable to flash gigablue ue

[Larry-G]

If you's just using a USB stick to flash the image then yes thats correct just copy the gigablue folder and it's contents to the USB stick if using the image manager however you need to go one more level up for example.


I use 7zip. I highlight the file with the right hand mouse button then select extract to openvix-4.2-vusolo2_usb ( for example ), it's this folder i then copy to the image manager.

thanks stanman was trying that.
I know thats how i flash my quad and it works every time.
the problem is it boots straight back into vix. I know the usbs key work because I tested them on the quad which worked perfectly. I have tried several now at this stage,
Also the usb port on the receiver works because its connected to my hard-drive for the epg and recordings etc.

Make sure all other USB devices are disconnected and than give it a whirl

Did that as well, and no joy,

Also just bought a new memory stick to day just checked on the quad and it work offering to install new image by hitting ok.

[bacon_&_cabbage]

On the back of the quad there is a power switch which I always turn off after shutdown.
Then insert my memory stick and switch on the quad and it works,
But on the ue there is no power switch,
So what is the correct procedure here I have tried the following
Put it into deep standby and inserted usb, it rebooted straight back into vix,
Put it into deep standby, pulled the power cable, inserted memory stick plugged in power cable and it reboots itself but boots straight back into vix.

Clutching at straws here now.

How do you do a screen dump of a folder.

[Larry-G]

if you'r using windows 7 use the snipping tool

[judge]

I'm not familiar with this box, but is there a button to press on startup to tell it to use the USB?

[bacon_&_cabbage]

if you'r using windows 7 use the snipping tool

Best thing to do is do a screen dump of the uSB folder when you put the image onto it as mostly likely that's whats wrong

Yeah Im using windows 7 and have the windows 7 snipping tool, so what do I do next never done this before.
If you could give me some detailed in fo on how to do above be great.

Thanks for all help so far people on this headache

[bacon_&_cabbage]

Would this be a bootloader problem that i cant flash from the usb,

Would this be a bootloader problem that i cant flash from the usb,

Could be, impossible to know without knowing what current bootloader is on the box though.
Try the latest one available for the box on http://www.openvix.co.uk/index.php?dir=Bootloaders/ & let us know.

To use the windows snipping tool first make sure you have the folders open to exactly how you want them to be for the screen shot then hit the windows key and type snip then hit enter. from here you can choose they type of screen shot you want to take. as for the bootloader it's worth a try but i have never used a gigablue so not sure on the procedure for flashing the bootloader.

[bacon_&_cabbage]

Hope this can help

Thanks

HOw do you install the latest bootloader I have downloaded and extracted the latest from the above link ( thanks judge)
Its left me with a burn and cfe.bin.
Do I just copy them to usb and install from there.

[bacon_&_cabbage]

Sorted at last
Got it flashed at last This is how I did it.
Reformatted usb stick with cmd to Fat32. (Already was fat32)
Moved gigablue folder to usb stick.
Powered of the box, unplugged it, inserted usb key, let it off for about 10 mins
Switched it back on and got the prompt to re-flash by hitting ok.


I taught I was seeing things LOL

Just like to thank everyone on here for their help and suggestions .

Thanks guys.
