Hi
I'm very new in the amiko world.
1st question : How to boot on spark ? Currently each time I start the stb it launch OpenPli.
The OpenPli is complletly crap ! So I would like to pur an other image. My intention is to use HDMU_1377_E2_spark_211_git_4953_nodebug_nolcd_Diff0_ffm_Flash
Could you please tell me how to flash ? and what are the steps ?

The video is is exactly how i flashed mine. Worked perfectly for me.
I'm sure the two numbers that are showing are indicating an error. I had something similar when the box wouldn't read from the USB stick i was using. (a five year old 4gb Kingston Data Traveler)
I then tried a 16gb Kingston Data Traveler G2 and it worked fine. I would try it again using another usb stick.

stick is fat 32 pny did not work tried another still the same does it have to be kingston
Apparently the Alien boxes are quite fussy when it comes to the type of USB stick you use.
I use a 16Gb Sandisk Cruzer for my Gigablue. The Cruzer won't work with the Alien it just gives an error. The same is said about the 16GB Kingston DataTraveler G2 i use on my Alien, it doesn't work in the Gigablue.
I would suggest you look on ebay, you can get a 4Gb DataTraveler for as little as £4.

Having probs with Flash can you load the image on box through Dreambox control centre and how do you
Thanks
You cannot use DCC, alternatively you can add the e2upgrade plugin on Spark and load E2 images that way ... i'm sure there will be a guide on here how to do that if you use search or look in the alien tutorials
Can you not just drag over from right pane and drop the E2 FOLDER IN dcc
well got a new kingston usb put in box followed instructions all worked fine got to onscreen menu all fine utill scan for satillites none found tried manual nothing asked me about oscam clicked ok machine re booted now get green page saying sorry errors seached for a new enigma file got one by osbourne says bug fixed so loaded back onto stick followed set up back to square 1 wont flash same errors 7 70 please helpppppppp
wich e2 image do you use.
HDMU_1403_E2_spark_211_git_5003_nodebug_nolcd_Diff0_ffm_Flash.zip found a new one but wont flash due to stick issue Working E2 image for alien 2.rar\Working E2 image for alien 2 - RAR archive, unpacked size 46,502,626 bytes
you have a alien1 (8900)
the image is good for the alien1 (8900) : HDMU_1403_E2_spark_211_git_5003_nodebug_nolcd_Diff 0_ffm_Flash.zip
this part i don`t understand : Working E2 image for alien 2.rar\Working E2 image for alien 2 - RAR archive, unpacked size 46,502,626 bytes
please explain
I searched for another image thinking that one i flashed was no good due to errors when installed and found this one
Working E2 image for alien 2.rar\Working E2 image for alien 2 - RAR archive, unpacked size 46,502,626 bytes
but my usb will not install due to error 7 70 showing on box it worked before but not now
wich box do you have
alien1 = 8900 = 7111
alien2 = 7162
a e2 image for the alien1 can not used for the alien2
a e2 image for the alien2 can not used for the alien1
try to format your usb stick again
this is the box it says for enigma2
Amiko SHD-8900 Alien HD (DVB-S/S2)
i think you have to try some e2 images for the amiko 8900.
format your usb stick again with another program like HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool and try it again.
i have two alien2 boxes and i have a sandisk cruzer mini and that works.
amiko recommend kingston but it seems not al the kingston usb sticks are working on alien and alien2.
Try this work safely
