    The official image is no longer supported and nobody uses it.


    I suggest you use the image linked below.

    Everything you need can be downloaded from the image feed. What isn`t on the feed will be found on AJPanel and DreamSatPanel plugins.

    Added the Label Image Flashing Support
  • Thanks a lot

    now I would like to know if I wanted to install the backup files I already got from a friend should I unzip that root file ??

    also, I wanted to know will this backup remove the original image completely. and what do people mean by having more than image internal and external ones

    should I unzip that root file ??

    No. Leave the folder structure as it is or the image flashing process won`t initialize.

    The structure should be vuplus folder ~ zero4k folder ~ then the image files inside.

    , I wanted to know will this backup remove the original image completely

    Yes, it wipes everything.


    and what do people mean by having more than image internal and external ones

    Its called multiboot. You can download the openmultiboot plugin from the image feeds.

  • Thanks a lot for the explanation I appreciate it

    can I ask 1 last question

    if I didn't like this backup image for example and did a factory reset after, what will happen?

    and how can I copy the original image in case I needed any other time

    what will happen?

    Resets the image you just flashed. Doesn`t go back to the factory firmware.

    and how can I copy the original image in case I needed any other time

    Not sure where the option is in the menu, or if it even has that feature. It has limited functionality which is why nobody uses it. You won`t want to ever use it again once you try the other third party options.
