ViX image manger issue -red cross

[john doe]

I have the latest vix image installed 5.0 009. saved on HDD I have vix images installed 008,007,006 etc. just in case I need to restore an image. other day I had an issue with the receiver and thought i would restore image 008. nothing happened, just a red cross top right of screen, also tried with 007 & 006 and still same.

was wondering if this was a bug? or am I doing something wrong, basically unable to restore image saved on HDD. ive attached a photo.

Live flashing of new generation 4K receivers that use EMMC flash is not supported. You'll need to FTP backup image to PC, then flash via USB.

It is a shame you can't choose to save an image back up directly to a fat32 stick, I'm sure blackhole or openbh has this feature.

totally agree mate. may have to play around with different images and see what come out of it. would hate to leave openvix. best image out there in my opinion, then ATV

There is a plugin that does this and is used by most images (apart from ViX) .. just not able to remember the guys name Pedro?? .. but it works well
Backs up to HDD and USB.

does usb need to a certain format (e.g Fat32).

[twol]

FAT32 is better, as you can then just move to the correct usb slot for flashing .. I used to backup images to usb but just do settings now, as i always run my own builds and then couch flash.

Hi, as Twol mentions to use for flashing the stick needs to be fat32, it seems your stick is mounted which would make it ext3 or 4 and can not be flashed from., the back up would need to be saved in a folder context and not zip format, sorry for the confusion but this is the context i was talking about.
As Joe Strummer said, it doesn't occur to me that people don't always understand what seems obvious to me.

You can mount a non-ext device too. Are you mixing up mounting with initialising?

...But what we are saying is you can't create an image back up directly to a fat32 usb stick in folder format so it can be used to re-flash the device like you can on other images, surely this is the way forward for these 4K devices (even if it sounds like a step backwards).

The plugin I was thinking about is Pedro Newbies BackupSuite and it gives you the option of HDD, USB or both

You can create a restorable image backup using ImageManager that can be used to flash from USB.... and you can setup to save to usb.
However, the ImageManager still needs a change for the HD51 as the EMMC disk format and boot files have changed and so I am pretty sure it will not work
