Hi tony_westling or anyone else that has experience with flashing an Xtrend ET9200.
I have a very similar situation to the one you have replied to back in May. I am on the Vix 2.3 or 2.4 (can't remember and when checking in the menus there is no About option to see what image I am using at the moment).
I wanted to update my box, following the procedure that you have described above.
1) Formatted an usb to FAT32
2) Downloaded the latest bootloader (et9000-bootloader.zip from 2012-May-13)
3) used winrar to extract the content and copied the folder et9000 to the root of the USB stick)
4) I have inserted the USB stick with the folder into the front usb port and booted up the receiver
5) It does not say it detects anything, it just shows me a message "ET9X00", as it does not say bootloader I did not press OK, so after a while it boots normally to the old image
If I rename the folder et9x00 instead of the et9000 it says that it detected an image Vix 2.3 something, but because it is not an image I did not dare to flash it like this.
What should I do?
Should I press OK when I see the message ET9X00 and wait for it to flash or should I rename the folder to ET9X00 and flash it as if it was an image?
Many thanks for all your needed help
Update: So when no USB pen is in the receiver and I turn it on I get the ET9X00 message before I see booting. So my conclusion is with the folder named ET9000 it does not detect the bootloader folder. What does it mean? Am I on the latest bootloader already or should I rename the folder to ET9X00?
Update2: When renaming the booloader folder to ET9X00 and booting the receiver I get the message:
Found Vix Image 2.3 20110930, do you want to flash it? Should I go ahead or should it say bootloader detected?
