  • I got my Extrend 8500 some months ago and did somthing wrong. I put in Open Pli and it was working for some hours, then everyting went black. The box is dead. I heard from a person that I should have to put in latest bootloader before I flashed an image. Is there a way to fix this? anyone who knows.

    I sendt it back to the seller but he could not help.

  • I don't think there's been a bootloader since this one:

    It has single and dual bootloaders included.

    Flash as normal with a fat32 usb stick.

    Copy the xtrend folder to usb.

    Power off, remove any other usb drives and put the flash drive in a usb port (the side one always works for me)

    Power on and press the front power button when it flashes blue/purple.

    When finished it will go steady blue and reboot.
