I'll watch the video.
In any case, install a recovery doesn't work, it never worked, it always ends up with the error "Flash recovery image failed" as in the picture I attached to my first post.
This is the reason why I think there's something wrong at low level in the kernel, maybe files write rights wrongly set at the factory.
I'll return it, no way
Already used the back recovery button, no way, same result.
Answer to a previous question, the USB pendrives formatted FAT32, different types and different sizes, the box sees all of them, so the problem shouldn't be the USB
Already done!
I tried everything I knew and everything I found online, no way to upgrade the box.
The box reacts differently if you try to perform the same action (network or USB flash) some time it unzips the image and stops sometime it unzips the image then starts uploading it in the box but doesn't succeed although it says "flashed".
Something wrong in the kernel I think
Thank you guys
Hello Corpina, thank you for your message
I cannot boot the OpenATV 6.3 anymore, it crashed and now it's stuck at boot with the logo on screen, no way to start it.
I tried what you say, I downloaded the right image _mmc.zip and not the recovery one, but no way to get it flashed.
Flashing via USB using the recovery menu never worked, it started but after unzipping the image, it said image uploaded but no way to have the image running, the image is not even shown in the boot selector.
Repeating the procedure I got the same issue but the process is randomly short or even long, but same result, image not installed at all.
I think there's something wrong with the receiver mother board or something at lower level.
I'm deciding to send it back and get a VU+ SOLO 4K.
In any case thank you for the hints
Hi all
I got an SF8008 4K UHD brand new couple of days ago with OpenATV 6.3 in slot1 and Define7 in slot2.
I just wanted to upgrade the OpenATV to 7.5.1 and I tried the Network Multiboot upgrade in the recovery menu but although it showed progress, it didn't install the 7.5.1 in the slot3 as I selected.
Repeated several time with the same result, I then decide to try the USB Multiboot flash, downloaded the file from the OpenATV repository and got the same problem, it progressed but at the end it doesn't show the image in slot3.
Tried again the USB flash with different pendrive, the box read the pendrive without problem (4, 8, 16 and even 32 Gb) but same result, no way to install the image in slot3 or even in any other free slot.
I then decided to go for Flash Recovery, downloaded a recovery image, unzipped and put in the USB pendrive.
The box recognize that there is an image and ask if I want to proceed with the recovery flash, hit Yes and it take about 2 to 3 minutes to install the image but it always end up with "Flash Recovery Image failed, please check!!" and nothing happens.
Tried several times with different recovery with the same result.
After a lot of try I restarted the box on slot1 and the factory installed OpenATV 6.3 that worked fine didn't work anymore, it started the splash screen then it displayed some cyan orizontal lines then it ended up on a green screen with a "sorry and an error message" then the screen became black and nothing more happened.
Tried again to restart, same result, after a few restart it went stuck at boot with splash screen.
I removed the OpenATV 6.3 in slot1 and started the Define7 in slot2 with no issue.
I then went back to try again to install other images in slot1, 3 and 4 using network, after one day of tentative I randomly suceeded to install the OpenATV 7.5.1 in slot4 and OpenPli 9 in slot3 but both of them didn't boot, the box was stuck at the Octagon bootstrap screen with the front panel display showing "boot".
Any suggestion or help?
Running the Define7 I can access the box with Filezilla whereas when it is stuck at boot, no way to connect it from the network.
I tried all the tricks found around in the forums but no way to make it work.
Thank you guys for you help
