  • HOW TO LOAD ENIGMA2 FIRMWARE WITH SPARK PLUGIN


    USING A USB STICK AND EASY TO FOLLOW ON-SCREEN


    MENU IN SPARK - FOR THE AMIKO ALIEN / ALIEN 2


    Items required:


    USB Stick Formatted to FAT32 – Use HP Format Tool for


    formatting if you have any problems with the USB not being


    seen by the Amiko Alien / Alien 2


    Spark Mini Plugins pack for the Amiko Alien / Alien 2


    Enigma2 Firmware for the Amiko Alien / Alien 2


    1)


    Download the.


    Plugin Pack and save this file to your computer. .


    If you need this pack will pm me


    2)


    Insert a USB stick into your computer, open the Plugin


    Pack file you just downloaded and extract the complete


    plugin directory from the .zip or .rar file to the root of the


    USB stick (which must have been pre-formatted to FAT 32).


    3)


    Now remove the USB stick from your computer and with


    your Amiko Alien / Alien 2 receiver powered on and


    connected to your TV insert the USB stick into a USB port on


    Amiko Alien / Alien 2 receiver (either front or rear USB port


    will work in the case of the Alien 2 - just ensure you have no


    other USB devices connected at the time).


    4)


    Within a few seconds the Amiko Alien / Alien 2 receiver


    will read the USB stick and then automatically prompt you on


    screen saying ‘Confirm Do you want to upgrade plug in?’ –


    Select YES using the remote control arrow keys and then


    press OK on the remote control.


    This will now display the ‘Upgrade from USB’ menu and the


    update will start automatically which will only take a few


    seconds and once complete will automatically reboot your


    receiver. At the point of reboot you can now remove the USB


    stick from the Amiko Alien / Alien 2 (if you don’t then the


    receiver will keep prompting to update after each reboot -


    you can just click no though if you wish).


    5)


    When your Amiko Alien / Alien 2 receiver has finished


    booting back up you should now be back to the usual Spark


    firmware but there will now has several plugins that have


    been installed which can all be found by selecting MENU >


    Plug in using the remote control.


    At this point you are now half way there, we have all the


    tools require to install Enigma2 firmware via Spark so we


    just need to get the Enigma2 firmware itself.


    6)


    Download and save your required Enigma2 firmware for


    the Amiko Alien / Alien 2 to your computer.


    7)


    Insert a USB stick into your computer, open the Enigma2


    firmware file you just


    downloaded and extract the two files from the .zip or .rar file


    to the


    root


    of the USB stick (which must have been pre-


    formatted to FAT 32). These files will be named uImage and


    e2jffs2.img.


    8)


    Now remove the USB stick from your computer and with


    your Amiko Alien / Alien 2 receiver powered on and booted


    to Spark and connected to your TV insert the USB stick into a


    USB port on Amiko Alien / Alien 2 (either front or rear USB


    port in the case of the Alien 2).


    9)


    Within a few seconds the Amiko Alien / Alien 2 receiver


    will read the USB stick. After a few seconds using the remote


    control go to MENU > Plug in > plugin_e2upgrade.s and


    while this is highlighted press the OK button which should


    take you straight to the Enigma2 Update menu.


    10)


    Make sure the Update path is showing as /storage/c/


    (providing the two files where save to the root of your USB


    stick) and then press RED (Enigma2 Update).


    You should see a pop up on-screen explaining about the


    updating Enigma2 and warning you not to power off the


    receiver (this is all automated functions and messages – you


    don’t need press and keys at this point).


    After a short while the message will disappear and you will


    be returned back to the Enigma2 Update menu – at this point


    you are actually finished and Enigma2 is now flashed, so you


    can exit all menus and reboot the receiver yourself and using


    the FORCE function on boot up make the receiver boot into


    Enigma2 mode (by first powering down the receiver and


    then powering on the receiver again while pressing and


    holding the OK button on the front of the receiver until


    FORCE is shown on the front screen, then pressings the


    down arrow (Enigma2) on the front of the receiver and then


    pressing OK on the front of the receiver)


    Your Amiko Alien / Alien 2 is now in Enigma2 mode and so


    will boot to this mode each time as default!


    If you wish to change this back to Spark as the default it’s


    very easy to do, it’s basically using the FORCE function on


    boot up make the receiver boot into Spark mode which is


    done by pressing and holding the OK button on the front of


    the receiver until FORCE is on the front screen, then


    pressings the up arrow (Spark) on the front of the receiver


    and then pressing OK on the front of the receiver.
