  • Hello everyone, I have an Octagon sf8008 and at the start, when I received it, I had the possibility of flashing on 8 slots, I installed another image in recovery at the start and now, I have put any image, I only have 4 flash slots left.....thank you if you know the solution....

  • But of course not, we can clearly see in the Boot file with Dcc the first 6 slots... "STARTUP_1 to STARTUP_6, but they no longer appear in the choice of device, well I'll manage on my own, as usual....

  • when sf8008 arrived, the multiboot option was only for sd card.


    later this changed, and the multiboot works in receivers flash , but only 4 partitions or you could extend this +2 slots in sd card.


    as i know images before and after this change , could not be together, because of different bootloader and multiboot option.


    so you have to re-partition your sd card from bootloader (recovery menu), and than re-install images which using the new bootloader.


    (and there is the madhouse multiboot,which offers more slots...)

  • Good evening and thank you friend for your explanations....

    However, when I received my Octagon 8008; I saw that there were 6 installation slots, now that I put other test images in recovery, I don't have them anymore, I only have 4 installation slots, finished the 6 ......and what do we do with the remaining space, I still have almost 4GB ???????

    What is the multiboot madhouse ????Thank you...

    • Official Post

    As already explained, the STB ships with an old bootloader that had 6 slots.

    Octagon updated things and now there is 4 once flashed with newer images.

    i have no idea why anyone would need more than 4 anyways TBH, after all you can only use one at a time.


    here is the other multiboot mentioned:

  • master G

    Added the Label MultiBoot Support
  • Simply to test with the various images while keeping the one we use, that's all...thank you.

  • Hi everyone, I tested madhouse on TF card and usb key, everything goes well during the installation, new images installed without problem, but none start, the device remains on boot ......

    I have to remove the key for it to start again and start all over again....
