Want To change image from OpenVix 6.2 to Openatv 7.2 Please advise ?

[Baioli70]

Good evening all hoping you can all help me out please ?

I last updated my Mutant HD51 4K in March this year but now have found for a long while that OpenVix no longer updates internally from version 6.2 if that's the right way of saying it apologies if I phrased that wrong.

I have been advised to use OpenATV 7.2 any ideas on that please and is it easy to do ?

To cover myself I would like to update if I can from Openvix 6.2 to latest safe working version ie Not Beta version into one partition and on another partition download OpenATV 7.2 version any step by step advice would be much appreciated

Many Thanks and all the best to you all

You cannot perform a "software update" from Vix 6.2 to Vix 6.4. You can "flash" 6.4 using the remote if you prefer. The process will make a settings backup (unless you changed the default), which you restore after the newest image reboots. Should take you less than 10 minutes and your box should be just as you had it configured.

As your receiver has hardware multiboot, you can flash ATV 7.2 into the other partition as you suggested. But you will have to setup ATV from scratch.

I forgot to mention I bought this box second-hand over a year ago and of the 4 partitions some have things in there already how do I delete un wanted partitions ?

The instructions on flashing using Image manager are posted there., but I will repeat for you

First:
Download the image to your receiver's storage device
Blue button > ViX > Image manager > Yellow (Downloads) > Select OpenViX > Select image version > Press OK
You will see the download status

Second:
Once downloaded, you should still be in Image manager and the latest image should be highlighted.
Ensure you have the correct image selected then press the Blue button (Flash)
The new image will flash and box will reboot when completed.
In install wizard you can then restore settings and plugins from OpenViX 6.3 (and earlier) series images. This will restore most things to how you had them before.

Should I make back up first ?

I always regularly make a full backup of images so I can flash the backup if needed. With you having mulitiboot you can flash the backup image to another slot while resolving issues to new image if any exists
