I have just used the BOOTice and transferred over my folder named et8500 which contains 5 files, activated the start button when it showed flashing blue/purple and it went solid blue/purple, but all I got was a re-boot after about a 90 secs and no progress bars to show any flashing. It has now come to a restore screen saying "A backup has been detected" and the option to accept RESTORE or Exit Restore Wizard.
Do not know what to do from here? If I choose EXIT will that be OK. Also if this is all OK do I need to remove the USB stick? Please advise.

Exit restore wizard
you only get the flashing bars with ImageManager

Guys,
So I have gone through Basic settings and NETWORK wizard still says No Internet. Still does not seem to have found the USB flashing software as no bars and if I go into VIX the only thing it sees is the backup on my HDD.

Hi oldtimer,
Thanks for your suggestion, but I am not using a VPN

So i think you need to find another location where you can test your box

Ok, I will try and test it elsewhere and get back to you all. Cheers.

Scratching my head here as how can box find a backup of a previous image if only storage device is the image which you are trying to flash.
What make and size are your usb sticks.
I presume you put usb stick in rear of box while powered off then switched it on.

Yes when I can locate a male to male lead. I have Filezilla on my computer. Could this help?

What is this lead your talking about and dont say Null modem as i think that had a special loader.

[Delboy181251]

I don't think the USB upgrade worked. I had my internal HDD with a few saved images and used one of those and flashed it back. Seemed to work but still no internet.
The lead I am on about is a USB male to male which I have used in the past to link box to my computer and open up Filezilla. That is what I thought was meant by "Can you FTP the box". Correct me if I am wrong.
Cheers.

Filezilla is used to network link box and pc to send files to box.
Box needs a network ip to input details into filezilla to get a connection.
Not heard of a cable hookup to filezilla from pc to box.

Very old boxes i did use a null modem cable for flashing images and not used those hit and miss usb ones.

No mention of what usb.

Are you trying to use a Wireless or connexion or an Ethernet cable?

Hi Guys,
Sorry to have messed you about but really appreciate the responses and help. It is now resolved. Turned out to be that my TP Link Powerline adapters needed resetting. I was convinced that would not be the case as the adapter in my TV room was still flashing furiously. It turns out that other kit in the room was still functioning via WiFi so that confused me too. I think I am right in saying that the ET8500 is not WiFi enabled?
Anyhow I have now successfully downloaded and flashed the latest VIX. Now down to the task of resorting my motorised dish Satellite system. So I may be back for more assistance sooner rather than later.
Many thanks again for all your help.
