hi, is there any way to repair my box that has been flashed with the wrong image?.

thanx..

Just flash another image. It'll overwrite anything you have previously flashed

 

[chris31560]

hi mate, thats the problem it wont flash anymore it just says boot..

did you hit the power button on the front twice until it says flsh

you will need to format your usb stick so that the box will read it again try this

or else use another usb stick to flash with

thanx mate, I will try that ltr..

Don't forget to remove any other usb sticks before flashing. If it's a H2S use the front port. If it's a 2S use the rear port.

Try a different firmware if the one you're trying won't flash.

USB formatting is usually the main issue. Use HDguru or diskpart on windows to deep format to fat32.

How did u manage to flash with the wrong image?

 

[chris31560]

not sure if I did, just guessing that I did as when I went to put another image on it would not flash anymore so thought may be I have flashed a wrong image..

 

[djgarf]

The only way you can flash the wrong software is to rename the folder structure of the flash files. Have you had any luck getting it to flash by following willo's guide to prepare your memory stick?

 

[chris31560]

hi mate, no I did not re, name the folder or change anything it just stopped working don't know why.

 

[chris31560]

hi willo, tried using your link still no joy just keeps saying boot..

You cant flash the wrong image. Try download this for openatv. Its always the rear port you use. If it doesnt say USB on the front panel then you need to change your usb stick. These boxes are nippy with drives im afraid.

Just to clarify once you see usb on the front press the button on the front of the box then will flash.
