Help installing Backup images for OCTAGON SF8008

It is harder to install images on this box than others as its not really a newbie box. There is a guide on this site the fifth down in this section from Oct 17th 2018. Its a bit out of date but if you follow it, it is a good learning experience. You will soon see the differences in the changes to the modern installation . Unfortunately its quite a while since I did this so cannot remember exactly the changes.

This guide will give you Openvix in position 1 which will allow a recovery if you need it. Other images are stored in the Micro SD card and adapter you install into the box from the back before installing any image. Hopefully you own an SD card already or Micro SD with adapter. You can then install the images you want in other positions and store them in the SD card installed in the box.

After the latest version of OpenVix recovery software is installed, reboot the box with the recovery Openvix. When rebooted do your settings. Install configuration etc as any other box for this image.

Plug in your USB stick with the image you want in the Zipped form you downloaded, then go into the OpenVix Menu as thats now in position 1 in the boot menu.

Select Menu , then Setup, then Vix then image manager.

You can then install your new image in any of the other 3 available positions. Follow instructions on screen and boot into the new image.

To install the image you want on a USB memory stick. I use an old 1GB stick formatted fat with the zipped image to install. You can only have one USB stick connected to flash an image. If you have films on another usb stick the box won`t see the images just the films on the other stick if two are plugged in. After installation remove the USB stick. It will have copied the image to the Micro SD card so in the future you can delete a previously installed image and reinstall in the future if you need to without using a memory stick.

Hope this helps. It is a very good box with good picture quality.
