Haha, well I'm a newbie, you on the other hand are a master. So leave me alone okay? ;)
I was gonna write a little script on start up to fix the issue but this is better ;). Thanks again mate!

must say this isnt mine, i dont take credit for this its something i found on HDMU site, love google if you know how to use it and have a lot of time to spare

Hi,

Tried to install this today, the image went on fine and rebooted however although it says boot, it stayed like that for nearly 10 minutes, only briefly showing the Sly boot screen then nothing else.

Had to revert back to previous image, any idea why?

the same thing happened to me, put the files in the root of your usb/hdd and flash the image using the spark upgrade-e2 plugin, it was fine after this

HTH

Hi,

Thats exactly the way that I did it (in fact thats the ONLY way that I know to do it).

Gavin.

I had a couple of issues with some images just sticking at the boot screen, then I flashed robijay's openatv 5 images, let it boot up fine in enigma, then went back to spark and flashed this images and it worked. Dont know why, but might be worth a try.

Cheers.

Ill give it another got this weekend, cheers.

Sorry to report that the image did the same thing twice again, it installs OK, but then just sticks on the boot screen and never progresses.

Iv put base builds of OpenVix and HDMU and they work fine, so there is something in this image that my box doesn't like :(

"Sticks on the boot screen," meaning the hdmu boot logo on the TV or a blank TV screen and the VFD showing just "BOOT" ?
If the first case, does it respond to pings? Can you ftp/telnet to the box?
Do you have any flash drives or external hard drives connected?

Or try this - it has a smaller, re-packed e2jffs2.img which may install better on some machines.

Hi Captain,

just tried this image and got the following results.

goes from 'boot' to 'load' then 'run' and then alternates between the sky boot logo and a full screen plain white image and keeps doing this.

Hi sorry, yes, it says BOOT on the receiver while the TV screen is black.

No, you cannot connect via FTP or Telnet. Im guessing that the network isn't up on the box at this point.

There is a 16GB USB drive on the back of the box thats used for EPG settings and recorded TV etc.

Seems a few others are having the same problem, could you try flash this using the upgrade-e2 plugin. It is in the plugin pack by pauldb.

Do you mean the plugin through Spark? Thats exactly the way that I am doing it.

just to tell you on all the time i have had with the a2 there are a few boxes out there that have problems with backups and wont take them due to the size

may be a nand problem , originals go on fine and as there is no errors in the file its pure and not taken from some ones machine

with a back up you are getting a back up of the original persons file including any bad blocks i think some boxes can cope with this better than others as there was 3 types of flash chips put in different boxes

this may or not make sense

Here is list of SPI-flash chips, used in this tuner:

Spansion S25FL016K (2MB) with JEDEC ID: 0xEF4015 (This flash chip is originally supported by U-Boot)
Atmel AT25DF161 (2MB) with JEDEC ID: 0x1F4602 (This flash chip support added in U-Boot of AMIKO_ALIEN2_1.2.51_E2_Boot_Upgrade.rar firmware)
Spansion S25FL016A (2MB) with JEDEC ID: 0x010214 (This flash chip is not supported by U-Boot)

so may be some better than others

That makes a lot of sense to be honest. Ill have a go with the 2nd backup file and see if that makes any odds.

This is the only one that behaves like this though - other images I have tried are fine, but as you say we might have a chipset incompatibility.

That is why I posted the repacked image. It is only as big as needed for the actual files, so more like the original developers images...

Sent from my A/S10 using Forum Fiend OSP v1.3.3.

OK,

The image that was put up by Joeuser works fine. Just doing some tweaks (correct bouquets and EPG).

One question, I need to set up OSCAM for a card share server, whats the easiest way to do this in this image?

Ill give this a go tonight - thanks...

Couple of things:

The time is an hour out, how to fix this please.

Also, on my other image I can http to the box on port 8888 for my oscam, this doesn't seem to work on this image, how to enable please?
