    Thumbs up How to upgrade ET9000 via USB memory stick

    Format your USB stick Fat 32 then make /et9000 folder in the root and copy the following 4 files to that location.
    1) boot.bin
    2) kernel.bin
    3) rootfs.bin
    4) imageversion
    Insert USB stick into either USB socket on the rear or front and then Power Off and Power On.

    After power-on, ET9000 is detecting USB driver and perceiving the upgrade files existed.
    Taking a look at ET9000 informs "image found?" on the left of front panel and pressing "OK" button on the right of it.
    ET9000 gets into a state of upgrading the files and displaying "flashing" on it. after complete upgrading, rebooting it.

    -Note-
    During upgrading, please don't unplug power or shut down STB.


    EDIT: RECEIVERS USING THE LATEST BOOTLOADER ALREADY FLASHED WILL USE A FOLDER NAMED et9x00

    If you have flashed with the very latest bootloader than you can only use images with the folder labelled 9X000, your best bet is to use PLI until VIX 2.3 is releases.

    I had a similar problem, then realised I hadnt followed the "ruddy" instructions... You must do exactly as it says:

    1. Format the USB stick to FAT32
    2. Create the directory ET9000
    3. Copy the 4 or 5 files into the ET9000 directory (5th file is the NOFORCE.xxx if i recall)
    4. Turn off box
    5. Insert Mem stick in front, ensuring no other USB ports are being used
    6. Turn on box
    7. You will then very quickly get a FP msg saying image found


    Hope this helps.

    you cant use the vix 2.2.100 image with the new bootloaders, to use vix you must now wait for the release of 2.3

    Hi. A newbee question: I am about to flash the latest bootloader. There is two folders in the downloaded file. ET9000 and _MACOSX. In the first folder it is three files, and in the other folder there is one file.
    Is it correct just to copy the folders/files to a USB stick as they are or do I have to re arrange the files in one folder?

    Ignore the _MACOSX folder. Copy the et9000 folder to your pen drive. Insert the pen drive into the STB and follow the instructions above.

    What image did you flash and did you upgrade the bootloader if using one of the latest images?

    in the installation guides it says that a file called "boot" should be present. Is "splash" replacing the need of the "boot" file?
    If not: how should the boot file be configured?

    Is the bootloader dated 2012-may-13 the correct bootloader for openvix-3.0.666?
    I also wonder what ViX-2.3-20110930 in the imageversion file stands for? is that the version of the bootloader or should that be changed accordingly what openvix version that is supposed to be istalled after upgrading the bootloader.
    Probably I just make more difficult than it is
    Just want to be sure before I stab the USB stick in to the box...

    Hello
    I am thinking of upgrading my ET9000 from a 2.3 image (or maybe a 2.2 I'm not sure) to the 3.0 image.
    When I look at the fresh files (openvix-3.0.666-et9x00...) there arethe files:
    "imageversion"
    "kernel"
    "noforce"
    "rootfs"
    "splash"

    in the installation guides it says that a file called "boot" should be present. Is "splash" replacing the need of the "boot" file?
    If not: how should the boot file be configured?

    Is the bootloader dated 2012-may-13 the correct bootloader for openvix-3.0.666?
    I also wonder what ViX-2.3-20110930 in the imageversion file stands for? is that the version of the bootloader or should that be changed accordingly what openvix version that is supposed to be istalled after upgrading the bootloader.
    Probably I just make more difficult than it is
