    F4 Turbo In loop

    My F4 Turbo has on booting up gone into a loop, the "Vix" keeps appearing rotating then disappears. I am unable to get out of this loop. I have disconnected the power for a period but it will still not boot.
    I was at the time installing the Night HD skin.
    Could you advise me please.Thanks.

    Using something like putty, open a telnet session using the IP address and root as the userid (no password)
    Then enter init 4. /stop the boxes processing)
    Then enter enigma2 (to look at the log so far)....have a look at the log or paste it here.
    If its the skin, the you will probably have to do as above (upto entering the init 4), then use filezilla to access the receivers files and delete the skins directory in usr/share

    Thanks twol,
    i am new at using this stb, I did install the very latest Vix update today as well.
    But I have to be honest I dont understand what you have written up above, my knowledge does not extend to that level i'm afraid.
    I will do some reading up on the various terms you use, but I am at a loss as to where to start.
    Thanks anyway.
    Dave.

    Hi, I have read what you advise me to do but I’m frightened of corrupting the STB.
    Is it possible there is a way of restoring the box to its orginal state and then flashing it with VIX again.
    Or alternatively is there anyone who can help me get out of the issue. Otherwise I’m stuck with a dead STB.
    Thanks again.

    Reflashing ViX is the equivalent of starting again from scratch.

    If you then restore (from a backup) settings and plugins you add back what you had before.

    Simply re-USB flash the box, thats all you need to do.

    I have used the tools you recommended and have tried a couple of different USB sticks.
    Can you suggest what I should try now.
    Thanks

    Have you tried both usb ports?

    If you can delete the offending skin and get ViX running again, you would be able to couch flash, and not need to usb flash.

    The usb flash drives you have maybe flakey. Try purchasing a 8gb Kingston one.

    You are extracting the latest ViX image and not trying to flash with the zipped image? I use WinRAR to extract my files.
