hi Hu
As i said in my previous posts
i can not install open ATV 7.6 i can only install pure2 or open pli images.
the only open atv images i can install are the old ones PY2 not the new ones.
at the moment i have pure2 installed in the box which is working fine
the open atv7.6 can not be installed even after putting the original dream box image ( recovery online ) and flash straigh away .....
thanks for your helps
What was the multibot used for?
no idea
i only flash images mainly one at the time with recover mode through the dreambox loader i do not use multiboot plugins
thanks
Once the image has been downloaded, extract the archive. The extracted file should be rootfs.tar.bz2.
Proceed with updating the device and report back with the outcome
hi Hu
i don't know how to explain this i do download the image i have bee doing for the last 10+ years .
the image does get installed but the receiver doesn't start normally it's stuck in boot mode....
it's only happen when i download open ATV7.6 py3
other images are fine
some images do download for ex HDF but when the box boot up it does it with open atv7.6 strange????
old open ATV images py2 are fine the issue in my case is with 7.6
any more suggestions would be great thanks
Hello,
I hope you haven't transferred any settings from py2 to 7.6 (py3)?
That won't work!!!
hi
no i didn't i am not that tech savy to do so.
i only flash the whole image one by one no transfer for files and stuff like that.
it would be nice to be back on openatv 7.6
is there any one in the foum where somebody can sort this even if i have to send the box
do world of satellite shop do this type of service
thanks
Before uploading the fresh image from the Dreambox recovery web page (not online), in that web page DO NOT select any backup option. Probably some item is selected as default, so unselect all these items and start uploading. Doing so, every old settings are erased and the box is totally cleaned up.
Try and report here what happens after rebooting.
hi
thanks for your input
sometimes i try to do recovery online to erase any conflicting files even though it's still stuck in boot mode
( open atv 7.6) other images are fine .
any more suggestions are welcome
thanks
I'm not an expert at OpenATV, but I think that image, when you do the initial setup, will check if there are any saved settings and restore them. You should know where these settings are saved and delete them before the flash. It is correct what Satmeter writes. Before uploading the image from recovery mode, the settings box must be unchecked to obtain a clean image.
In a very minor annoyance, I have a Vu+ Duo2 (non 4k) with 7.6 running perfectly.
However, despite setting the zone to the correct geography for me, the weather info that comes up on the screen is not correct at all.
I have the box plugged into gigabit ethernet for internet.
Where does it pick up that info from and can I play with the settings?
Cheers,

I suspect that the problem is the tuner handling by the image. And, again, I do not understand why the SCPC option was removed.
Also, I will perform the same test on my DM920 that includes a different type of tuner.
Try posting on the OpenATV forum
Well, I'm not registered in the Openatv forum yet.
But I have an important update to report here.
Today I uploaded the 7.6 in my DM920 and the SCPC option is present in the Tuner Configuration menu, and I can also select the tuner input that I want to use.
Once setup correctly, all those 3 frequencies mentoned above are perfectly tuned, as expected.
So, now we can be sure that the problem is only in the tuner handling in the Vu+ image.
Any hope for a possible fix? Any Openatv developer here? Thanks.

openatv will not restore setting unless told do do so I don't know about dreambox setup but I have GigablueQuadPro with internal hard drive ans settings archive files are stored in /media/hdd/backup_openatv_gbquad4kpro folder.
hi
when i do the recovery online i make sure that the the 2 boxes are not tickked so i can have a clean flash even though i still get stuck in boot mode as i reported in previous posts
any other image is fine
now i have the pure2 in the dm900 which is working.
but the box is not having the open ATV7.6
Maybe the open ATV team can shed some light about this issue
that would be great
thanks

Last year I helped a friend install OpenATV in miltiboot, having the original dreamos image flashes. Then the OATV image was extracted from the /media/hdd/backup path. Which I do regularly on my dm920, without any problem. I never backed up the settings on OATV. When I start the image, I have to configure it normally. When the friend started the image, they didn't need to set it up, but they were already starting with the settings. Even if we repeated the operation, the same thing happened. The friend had previously backed up an OATV image, I don't even know how. Hence what I wrote in my previous post

That is an image backup that is complete backup of your working slot.
Member says he is flashing new image not backup.

No. Maybe I didn't explain myself well. My friend multibooted an image that had just been downloaded from the OATV website, not a previous backup. With Barry Allen or Alan Turing, the images to be extracted must be inserted in the path I indicated. Previously, on an older OATV, he had somehow saved the settings, which were then fished out.

yes just noticed but now that I see it i remember you have been told how to sort it hopefully network has loaded at that point and you need to connect via terminal i,e, putty or openwebif terminal and delete your skin.
you could even use windows file manager just type \\ ipaddress of you reciever into search bar
example for me it is \\192.168.68.54 other that that you need to install clean image as you have not because it has installed none default skin.
you need to navigate to user/share and delete the offending skin
