Box stuck on boot

[grog68]

I would try a different usb stick

Can you recommend any brand and size?

 

[grog68]

for flashing it doesn't have to be a big size, 2-4gb would be big enough. I've used troshiba and scandisk but others good brands should work

 

[S1991]

Would you think a 16gb would be ok?

 

[grog68]

yes it shouldn't be a problem, I have flashed with a 32gb

Well the "HDD LLF Low Level Format Tool" and non quick fat32 format did the trick with the USB stick. I installed the wooshbuild no problem with the front button press once turned on, all good now.

Edit: It was a USB 2.0 16GB Sandisk

Is there any Mac option for this?

The image you’ve download to usb, have you made sure you’ve extracted the Zgemma folder from the zip file.

Still getting no joy on my side :(

Well there’s two things that may be preventing it from flashing...

1) as per my last post is the Zgemma folder on the usb, NOT the zip file?

2) USB stick isn’t compatable (zgemmas are picky) I use Toshiba myself and works fine all the time

Sometimes the Zgemma may read the usb when operational but it doesn’t mean it will like the same usb to flash.

Not compatable with Mac, but take a look here https://www.techwalla.com/articles/low-level-format-for-mac-os-x

[gray1313]

Thats exactly what i did, cant remember exactly what it said first.

Normally I press the power button on the front as soon as the box powers up, hold it for a few seconds itl say USB then let go and it will say FLSH
