    giga blue image

    hi, i recently bought a giga blue quad and flashed it, but now it wont go past the introduction screen, ive tried different flashes, other usb's but nothing works. where am i going wrong? i thought it may be the bootloader, if so what is the process? if i put a bootloader on the usb, when i put an image on it overwrites it! help!! thanks

    Your box is not flashing if think your getting the previous image..

    Try a fresh download from >>>HERE<<<.. Choose Build 808..

    Also use the HP formatting toll to format your HDD usb stick..

    You can find that >>>HERE<<<

    There has never been a new bootloader for a Quad as yet.. So there is not even a bootloader to flash again..

    You dont have a usb device attached to the Quad at the moment.. ?

    ie.. usb hdd.. or usb sticj for picons or EPG.. ?

    If you have,.. Remove all usb devices.. and flash again..

    Have you tried a to flash the GB image..

    OpenMips.. ??

    Open this link :

    Code:
    http://image.openmips.com/2.0/index.php?open=gbquad
    Scroll to the bottom link and download..

    Extract that to your usb pen.. and try to flash that..

    If it boots up as normal.. Go back to Vix 3 . 808 and flash that..

    Trying another usb stick is always an option..

    Even if you have to borrow one from a friend..

    It won't be the bootloader, don't try to change it or you may brick your quad.

    What image are you trying to flash? Post a link to it

    What size of usb stick are you using?

    What is the file structure of the image on the usb?

    How long are you giving the box to complete the flash? Sometimes it can take about 10-15 minutes

    When you insert the USB stick with the image you want to flash, does the LCD screen on the quad detect it & ask you to press OK if you want to update?
