I got back today and my box was booting up, so it had turned itself off and rebooted. I put the TV on to find it was stuck in a loop where the VIX sign spins for a bit and then disappears and then repeats.
I tried turning it off from the back but this didn't solve the issue.
I then left it off for awhile but still the same.
Any suggestions?
Firstly, pull out any devices, USB sticks, external drives etc, and the ethernet cable - then do another boot, and see if that does the job. If not, you can try to log in to the receiver via winscp and grab a recent backup (take it you back up your image every now and again? If not it is good practice to do so!) - if you can log in, then at least you can save some of your configs, and reflash with the latest image.
a reflash of your backup should sort it..
How do I login with winscp? I've not done a back up in a while, stupid me! :(

You cant.... use Dcc or Vucc instead.
I tried to no avail, currently taking the hit and installing the latest image, luckily have my configs which haven't changed much saved.

more importantly if he can log in via a FTP session try retrieving some of the crash logs generated by this crash loop, these are a invaluable tool for us to help in diagnosing and fixing issues. another good practice i'd recommend is setting image / settings backup's and all debug and crash logs to a USB device that way if things do go wrong like in this case you wont loose the valuable logs and backups.
Well this is odd, I updated and on reboot it started again...
started again strait after uploading the virgin image or after uploading plugins etc ??.
Basically the more information you can supply about your setup the better. ( and those crash logs would be best ).
I shall reflash it again and work through it slowly, I'm not too sure what it is as I didn't install any plugins.
Which build dd you install ?.
ViX-2.4.96
Okay to be specific of the issue, I reflashed with the latest release. I installed oscam.5703 and rebooted. I haven't done anything else, upon reboot the issue occurs again.
There are no USBs, all cards are removed, the HDD isn't installed.
well thats a very very old image now, unless you have a specific reason to want to stay on such a old ( and obsolete, no longer supported or updated ) image, why not try the latest 3.0-632 image ?.
Oh I didn't even realise/see that, I'll give it a go.
Same issue, how do I get the logs for this as I can't FTP?
so this is with a Virgin image, not a backup or with any settings restored what so ever ?.
Yep ViX, not a backup, no settings restored at all.
You have a Non-Original mate me thinks!
I bought it two years ago and I'm certain it's an original.
