Thanks Jester,

I'm actively looking for recovery firmware to do same, finding it a little frustrating at the moment.

1. Format a USB to FAT32.
2. Rename the software to "update.bin" and copy to USB.
3. With the Viark disconnected from the POWER, insert the USB into the VIARK receiver.
4. Turn on the Viark and press (hold) the POWER button on the front of the receiver.
5. Stop pressing the POWER button, once the letters "-ES-" appear on the display, since the recovery will start.
Note: if the recovery fails, try several more times, since sometimes it usually fails.

Try this mate updatebin attached for Viark 4K

Thanks for your reply kegnkiwi mate, I’d hope the 4K could do this without out splitting cables and adding switches.

Hi,I had a similar issue with 2 receivers controlling one motor and the solution is to use a
Goobay sat priority switch as it is a total pain to be disconnecting the f plug/cable on a
regular basis.I would not use a regular splitter as they are not designed for satellite use.
I now have the best of both worlds with the viark and sf8008 both able to control the motor,
just leave the one you are not using in standby mode or powered off.Best of luck getting
unbricked,I hope it works out for you.

Ok guys, I think I've bricked the box while flashing the firmware...😢
It lost power for second as I accidently stretched the lead.
Right now just says "BOOT "on the box and no source on TV.
Anyone encounter similar or have a fix??:flushed:

Sorry mate,
I didn’t have time to fool around with it. I’ll definitely be working on it over the weekend. Hopefully I’ll get it sorted, if not it was an expensive door stop!

Hi Ferret,
Trying the above mate and getting no where!
Downloaded the file you attached and renamed "update.bin" as directed. When I tried to open the file i got "the archive is either in unkown format or damaged"
Anyway, carried out the reboots holding the Power button with USB in front usb slot and rear usb slot.
Without usb, display says BOOT. With USB it says USB but thats as far as it goes...
ES doesn't appear as expected.

Mate extract it its already named update.bin when you do. Maybe your windows does not have file extensions naming so just unrar and send it to usb

You have renamed it again it will be update.bin.bin to the box never going to work that.
