    I'll have to refer to Grog68 for that. He'll have to update his script. Can you post the text, instead of picture please


    Sorry, I forgot Grog's script uses boxbranding, which PLI do not have.


    Have you tried a differrnt USB stick? If you have a microSd card, have you tried removing it when flashing by USB?

    I've tried with so many USB's, don't have a MicroSd card.

    when flashing with usb, power on and immediately holding on the front power button its jumps from boot to usb with a blink of an eye then on boot again and nothing seems to happen.

    Flashing guide.....

    Flashing the Receiver.
    1) Power off the receiver
    2) Ensure no other USB devices are plugged into the receiver
    3) Insert the USB stick containing the image, rear usb port if possible.
    4) Power the receiver on.
    5) Immediately after powering on PRESS AND HOLD the front power button behind the FRONT FLAP until "flashing" appears on front display.
    6) If successful the receiver will reboot it self after the flashing process has completed.
    7) Remove USB stick that contains the images files.

    On Willow's site, there is a tool to format USB stick. Make sure you do not format the USB stick with our backup

    Code:
