Hello all
I have a solo2 clone here that belongs to a friend he turned it on yesterday and it only goes as far as the blackhole blue boot up screen no spinner appears in top left and it says vusolo2 in vfd display.

He has brought it around to me this morning and I tried flashing it with a couple of clone safe images and still the same the boot up screen for each image is on the tv screen but that's as far as it goes.

Also using dcc it connects to box ok but no files are showing in left panel on dcc any one had any faults like this before on solo2 clone or know the cause or how to fix or if it can even be fixed.

Thanks in advance for taking the time to reply.

Anyone have an idea why tsmedia would run ok in my home but taking box to my m8's house half mile away and it comes up no movies found or errors in downloads ect on movies 25, ice film, 1 channel ect, but once box is back in my house it works fine, i have useless plusnet isp and m8 has bt inifinty,

Any thoughts most welcome

Put the bootloader on fat32 formatted usb stick, power off box and put stick in front usb port power on box

when you see conf on display hit the ok button bootloader takes about 4 seconds to load

Then do the same with image

Malkom1,Nano and Cazuela a big thanks

ok what i was doing wrong was thinking the boot loader had loaded when i seen the conf on screen.

It was only when nano said when flashing image and you see conf hit ok button so i hit ok when i seen conf loading bootloader and it then loaded the bootloader so now its taking images.

Cheers for all your help.

Cheers for reply malkom1

Tried bootloader and it loaded fine then tried some images and still the same box just boots up to openmips image.

Surely if its seeing the bootloader files it should see image files.

There has been no other images on this box it was new at xmas and only getting round to trying a new image now i have tried 3 sticks and a sd card still no luck i have other enigma2 boxs and never had one that i could not flash yet

I will just wait until maybe i get a reply from someone with one of these box's to see how they have flashed it

Once again thanks for your time

Thanks for your help but still no luck with it i also downloaded the openmips image and its in the same layout gigablue/seplus/files but box is just not flashing i even tried this http://linuxsat-support.com/showthread.php?t=35900 as i seen someone else had same trouble but still no go with it

Thanks for fast reply

IT has just gigablue then next folder seplus then next the files i just tried your suggestion and renamed gigablue se and still the same just goes to boot up.

Hello all and thanks in advance

i have been trying to flash this box with no success Below is what i have been trying

Installation OpenRSi image on Gigablue 800SE, 800UE and Quad.

We assume that you already installed the latest bootloader!

You need a USB flash drive that is formatted with Fat32.

Download the latest firmware from our download-section and unzip it in the root of the USB flash drive.
On your USB flash drive, it will look like \gigablue\se or \gigablue\ue.

Content of the folder should look like:

\gigablue\se\imageversion
\gigablue\se\kernel.bin
\gigablue\se\lcdsplash.bin
\gigablue\se\lcdwaitkey.bin
\gigablue\se\lcdwarning.bin
\gigablue\se\noforce
\gigablue\se\rootfs.bin
\gigablue\se\splash.bin

Turn/Power off you GigaBlue receiver.
Insert your USB flash drive. The USB port at the back of you receiver is preferred.
Turn/Power on your GigaBlue receiver.
The Standby-button on the receiver will color purple, and/or, the display will prompt you in yellow text.
In some cases, when turning on the GigaBlue, pressing the OK-button is necessary.
Confirm flashing with the OK button and the installation will begin.

ok when i download the se plus image from openrsi site and load to formatted fat32 stick i put on stick a folder named gigablue and in this folder this is the files from the image it starts gigablue then seplus then the files in this order

splash
rootfs
noforce
kernal
image

Is this correct as i cant seem to get box to see image to flash it also i have tried 3 sticks all same result box just boots up to openmips image which come on the box when new.

the simple way to explain this is go to MG_CFG and change the setting for P to ( 02 ) this has been stated twice already

here look at the setting below again you will see the P you will find this setting with others by right clicking and editing MG_CFG found in var/keys

# network shares priority
# 00 gbox, newcamd, cccamd, radegast, camd3 (default)
# 01 camd3, radegast, cccamd, gbox, newcamd
# 02 cccamd, newcamd, camd3, gbox, radegast
P: { 02}
