How to recognize which uboot is installed on your nBox 5800s & how to change it.
The original document that this was written from was originally authored by Euro Trans and all credit should be given to him.
Read all of this document before proceeding.
The nBox 5800S uses 2 different uboots to start the software.
1 :- Freebox - first message displayed on the front panel is BOOT
2 :- Bt4 - first message displayed on the front panel is nBox
Freebox is only to be used for running Enigma 7.1.7 and previous versions and Open Pli
Bt4 is only to be used for running PKT Nebula Zero and PKT Nebula V3 and previous versions of this firmware.
DO NOT use Freebox for Nebula.
To update your current Freebox uboot to Duo Multi uboot firstly you need to disconnect your nBox from the power supply or switch off at mains supply.
Proceed to format a good quality USB penstick to FAT32 and copy the three files inside the RAR archive to the freshly formatted USB penstick.
Insert the USB penstick in to the nBox USB socket.
Press power button on the receiver and hold it down whilst connecting the power socket to the nBox.
You should then see BOOT on the display which should then change to PROG. Wait until you see OK on the display.
Once this is done you can then disconnect the power supply.
Reconnect the power supply. When you see BOOT on the display press the up or down key on the front of the receiver.
You can then select which uboot software is loaded.
So duoboot will start like Freebox when BOOT is displayed.
To change to B4T uboot use arrow up and go to b4u than press OK and it will change from Freebox to B4T.
If you want to change back to Freebox from B4T when you see BOOT on the display press the up or down key on the front of the receiver. When you see F-b press OK and when BOOT is displayed press arrow up or down. Go to Nand and Enigma will start.
To update your current B4T uboot to Duo Multi uboot you need to disconnect your nBox from the power supply or switch off at mains supply.
Format a good quality USB penstick to FAT32 and ten copy the three files inside the RAR archive to the freshly formatted USB penstick.
Insert the penstick into the nBox USB port.
Connect the power supply power supply and when the NBOX is displayed press arrow up on the front of the receiver and go to UPDATE and then press OK.
Wait until screen show OK and then disconnect power supply.
Re-connect the Power supply and then Press arrow up or down and go to NAND and Nebula should start.
Finally.
You no longer need to update the boot loader to change images.
From Freebox you can go to b4u by using arrows and press OK.
From B4T we go to F-b press OK than arrow up or down to change from where software will be started.
This is extremely important!!
Only ever use B4T for Nebula
Only ever use Freebox for Enigma or Open Pli.
Never attempt to load Enigma or Open Pli with B4T uboot.
Never attempt to load Nebula Zero or PKT Nebula v3 with Freebox uboot.
