How to flash a Technomate TM-TWIN-OE.
Items you need before we start.
1. A suitable USB stick formatted to FAT32. (Preferably no larger than 8GB in size to prevent
compatibility issues while flashing the image).
2. Image of your choice
3. Compression software such as 7zip.
4. HP Format tool ( not essential but highly recommended )
5. Teracopy ( again not essential but highly recommended )
6. A clean pair of underpants, just in case things go wrong.
For this tutorial we will be using the latest OpenViX Image ( 3.0-658 ) which can be downloaded
from OpenViX, often cloned, never bettered…
For links to the above mentioned software please see page two of this tutorial.
Preparation.
1. Format a USB stick to FAT32.
2. Download the image of your choice and extract it to your desktop.
3. Open the folder you extracted to your desktop, in this case named openvix-3.0.658-
tmtwin_usb, you will see another folder named update, this is your image file. Copy the
entire update folder directly to the USB stick.
Flashing the Receiver.
– Fully power the receiver down via the rocker switch at the rear of the receiver.
– Make sure no USB devices are plugged into the receiver at this point.
– Insert the USB stick containing the image files into one of the USB ports on the receiver.
– Power the receiver on from the rear rocker switch and await instructions.
As your TM-TWIN-OE starts to power up you should see a prompt on the receivers display asking
you to press the ok button, at this point you need to press the ok button on the front of the receiver
to initiate the flash / update procedure..
IMPORTANT.
DO NOT POWER THE RECEIVER DOWN DURING THE FLASHING PROCESS, AS YOU
CAN CAUSE SERIOUS AND PERMANT DAMAGE BY DOING SO.
If you dont see the prompt to press the ok button but instead see the message “starting” it means
that the receiver has not detected the USB stick or image files or both. If this happens start from the
beginning or try another USB stick, Image or USB port on the receiver.
If all goes well the flashing process should take approximately 2 to 4 minutes to complete, you
should now see a message on the display telling you to remove the USB stick and reboot the
receiver. Only at this point should you power the receiver on and off to reboot the box.
When booting the receiver for the first time after flashing a new image Techonmate advise that you
start repeatedly pressing the EXIT button on front panel and keep repeatedly pressing
EXIT for 10 seconds after power on.
Please note. you will always see the prompt to press the ok button if the receiver has detected a
viable image to flash on the inserted media at bootup, It is perfectly safe and advisable to keep a
image on your USB stick for backup reasons. The image will only be flashed to the receiver if you
press the ok button when asked to do so, if you ignore the prompt the receiver will boot as normal.
