BOOT

[S1991]

Flashed a H2H the other day and not realising flashed my H5.2tc with the same stick and build now when i turn the box on its stuck on boot, can anyone help?

Flash it with the proper one then

I’m trying to but it’s stuck on boot

You can't flash a h5 with h3 files unless you rename the h3 folder to h5.
My flash drive has a zgemma folder with h3, h5 and h7 sub-folders. The box will only flash the appropriate one.

 

[siilver]

I should have flashed in the first place

Or do they use the same file structure

Yea I'm the same, all on one stick. Never had a problem

same here, 1 zgemma folder with 4 sub folders h3, h4, h5 and h7

It’s managed to flash the h3

Is there any possible way of resetting the box if it’s stuck on boot and not showing nothing on the screen

Unplug everything, leave it 5 minutes and see if it will boot with just the power lead connected and hdmi

I had 3 but sent the h4 back

I don't really want another cable only box, I don't use the Uno 4K now the novelty has worn off. I'm happy with Freesat and torrents lol.

Format the usb with this:

Flash a clean ATV and see if it boots.

If it does flash your backup back.

[Willo3092]
