Warning this can brick your STB if you have different flash chips than my model !!!

Hi,

Can you explain the method to flash it?

Can you tell it will work on Amiko Alien 2 also or not?

I flashed amiko alien 2 original uboot on my device before and it soft bricked my stb, I spent hours on the serial console to flash my original uboot dump to fix my device.

This wont work on amiko alien 2!

I was posting more details and commands yesterday but my internet disconnected and i lost all what i typed, i will update the OP soon with all details.

For now, if you are sure that your stb has WINBOND CHIP and NAND CHIP it should work, but i am not responsible for bricked device.

Note that Amiko Alien 2 wont work!

There is a safe method you can try if you can access uboot serial console

use setenv to changes the env variables!

Code

setenv bootcmd_spark 'nboot.i 0x8C000000 0  0x00100000 ;bootm 0x8C000000'

If you can insmod i2s.ko under enigma2

Code

root@amikoalien:~# insmod /lib/modules/2.6.32.71_stm24_0217/extra/i2c_spi/i2s.ko

and use printenv setenv saveenv commands it should be easier than the serial console.

backup the output of printenv first.
