Apollo 025 Reflash Stuck with red light

[Rob van der Does]

Done.
Also uploaded new bootloaders for the ET8k & 10k (allowing images up to 200MB to be flashed).

Maybe somebody can announce that? There is no real need to update those bootloaders, but there were quite a lot of reports of failed flashes due to backups that were too big.

Should not have been an issue Rob.. As build 025 requires a full fresh flash.. with no backups allowed..

As long as we have the required bootloaders to flash.
Thankfully 025 is still set as unstable.

Exactly. And it isn't.

Did you install the new bootloader first?

I was running 025 with the old bootloader and was having problems with HDD playback on my Quad Plus. Made a settings backup and then flashed new bootloader. Fresh flash of 025 followed by settings restore. All ok now.

No i did not just flashed it going to load softcam and cccam.cfg. Have not got hard drive connected trying to share hard drive on my pc.Says its there in the mount manager but cannot view files will get there .

Just flashed my GB Quad (not Plus) with bootloaders from the OpenVix site and now my box won't boot! Gets as far as spinning the HDD but then it spins down and the box shows a red LED on the front panel but goes no further. If I stick the USB stick in the rear USB port and power-cycle the box it recognises that an image needs flashing and prompts me to OK it again... :-(

Helllllp / suggestions PLEASE!

Cheers,

Steve

Did you reflash 025 again after flashing the boot loader that's what I did to get mine up

[Larry-G]

Flash the bootloader again then power down and flash the image. But make sure you use the correct bootloader for your receiver.

Hi
Do you flash the bootloader the same as a new image? Trying to go from 023 to 026 and it wont flash. Did not happen on my Solo2?

[Joe_90]

Yes - I flashed the bootloader the same as I would for a normal flash. Then powered off the box and flashed the new image.

OK, When I try that, the box does not come back with a message to press the power button or the OK button as a new flash would do. It reads the USB stick but does nothing? Shall I try a 025 flash first?

Tried a 025 flash and when the warning triangle disappears that all that remains is the Gigablue logo and nothing else happens?
