If you can telnet then you should be able to ftp. Set the password in telnet (enter passwd ….and type in new password 2x) , then try ftp with root and new password.
The startup files are in /boot, if you know you have a good image in a slot then copy the Startup _1 through _4 to your PC, rename to STARTUP and copy back, then init 6 in telnet session.
otherwise you will have to copy an image zip to /tmp and install via ofgwrite…….post back if the 1st trick doesn,t work.

i have STARTUP_LINUX_1_BOXMODE_1 STARTUP_LINUX_1_BOXMODE_12 through to STARTUP_LINUX_4_BOXMODE_12 so i just rename 1 of them files?

i did get pure2 on again but everytime i reboot it gets stuck on boot again

[Willo3092]

If you flash the recovery version by USB it will delete all existing partitions and put ViX on partition 1

[MaD_FOr_iT]

like i said i got pure2 to install so i used cmd
wget --no-check-certificate -O installatv.sh https://www.dropbox.com/s/nqbo698rxc...allatv.sh?dl=1 && bash installatv.sh
to install to slot 2 and i think its back up and running

Its probably puree2 that messed up things it uses a different partition structure from everybody else

[MaD_FOr_iT]

yer i think the vix recovery wiped the partitions so then i could install pure and atv ,thanks for the help

[MaD_FOr_iT]

[twol]

Post #6 , and then don,t mess around with an image that uses a different partition setup from all the others

[MaD_FOr_iT]

didnt work carnt even ftp it anymore Cannot initialize SFTP protocol..do u think its bricked ?

No it will not be bricked unless you have been powering on & off.
The h7 is not loading so ftp is not possible
Get an old usb stick or small size usb stick, format fat32
Then install recovery emmc download on stick and usb flash

As far as I know there is no SFTP available:

C:\Program Files\PuTTY>psftp root@192.168.1.28

PuTTY's cache and carry on connecting.

Just reflash it.
