    Hello,


    My GM 990 SPARK doesn't work anymore... The boot sounds to work, I have the image of GM reloaded, and then black screen.
    When it boots, I see on the front pannel the word BOOT, then I see the time at 00:00.
    I can't use any of the buttons from the remote control nor the front pannel.
    I tried to add an image and flash it with USB stick, but I can see the USB stick running and then nothing, no screen, no alert... nothing...
    COuld you please help me? Do you kwno how I could fix it?


    Thanks a lot!!!

    Can the box boot from a USB or can you switch it to Enigma or is it totally dead?


    Have you updated Spark recently using the boxes online updater? Bare in mind your GM Reciver is just an Amiko Alien SHD-8900 in a different box, so i am sorry to be the barer of possible bad news.

    There is a possibility that if your box is a clone that it may have killed by the Spark update. If thats the case nothing will work as the bootloader will have been damaged. It may be repairable by jtagging but is a very long winded process which doesn't guarantee success.


    The box is essentially the same box as the Amiko Alien SHD8900 so the procedure should work the same.

    To be honest it would be better just to chuck the box and by a proper MIPS based E2 receiver so you can experience Enigma 2 as its meant to be.

    I did follow the tutorial on how to upload an image (boot / usb) and it now works like a charm!
    Thanks Nano.:linuxsat4::32_002:
