- samba included

- feeds are working

The commands you've done have no impact on your hdd !

they just mount mmc partitions into /data and /boot and

enable you to select the next multiboot destination !

Well ... you went into a wrong direction ! you're restored

Mahdy Multiboot V40 witch destroys an essential information

for V30 ! your STB will never play live video and audio !!!

This was the point I've started to find a recovery method !

the package I've sent to you is the result ... that can be

restored via HiTool or use the usb_upgrade.bin ! and

your STB will become again a normal V30 ! but you'll

never play live video and audio for now on !

You can see the signal , you can scan it , but never play it !

but ... you can stream it from WebIF and play it on PC from VLC !

I've made at the time the same mistakes ! you should read and

conform to my warning ... "do not use Mahdy Multiboot " !

From this point I cannot help you in any way ! sorry !

If you used once sf8008 that explain what's happen !

is like Viper Combo 4k ! you bricked the internal boot !

and if you had a power failure ... that could be the end !!!

Tring to load "fastboot" is specific to STB's witch support

"recovery" images ... is not the case of Viper V30 ! this

looks as sometime the internal boot was rewrite with

with one from sf8008 or Viper 4K Combo ! I don't know

how !!!

This is shown after you power-up with GREEN pressed ?

- first is trying to load a fastboot.bin from USB

- not finding fastboot.bin on it is trying to load it from EMMC

....

Looking for fastboot.bin on USB means to me he is searching

for a "recovery" image .... witch is not the case of Viper V30 !!!

there is not such a thing for V30 ! could be OK for Viper Combo

4K ... but not for V30 !!!

What's the story behind this V30 ! how come you need to

recover it ? what was the "experiment" you've done ?

You could put on USB all the files I've sent ! and will see

on the console log what he is trying to do with them !

I've never used HiTool console window !

The usb_update.bin is a replacing for HiTool in some conditions !

... if you still can activate the internal bootloader by pressing GREEN !

Sometimes ... GREEN cannot be recognized ! so the only way remains

HiToll witch connects and restore Fastboot !

If you tried to install a different image than Amiko Viper ... or

Dinobot TWIN ! your RC could be not recognized , so even you

are pressing GREEN you will not get the attention of bootloader !

I was aware of this issue with RC ! so I have a Dinobot replacement

RC witch is recognized even if the Amiko RC is not ! But ... if you

restore with HiTool my files ! your V30 should see GREEN from

Amiko RC and enable you to restore from USB e.g. OpenATV !

usb_update.bin !!! not update.bin !!!

This must activate internal bootloader and

you will see on the screen the update progress !

The second step is to load the desired image !!!

But ! if you previous load some strange SW , internal

Bootloader could not be activated from your native RC

on GREEN ! so ... only HiTool procedure with the

archive I've sent could solve the problem !!!

If you restore with HiTool ... there is no Enigma2 restored !

so you must install OpenATV using the classic method with

GREEN button pressed during power-up !

Exactly the same thing happen if you are recovering with

usb_update.bin !!! just read carefully my indications !

Updates interval is configurable from menu ! you can stop the process forever !

Will be a new version by the end of the week !

You need the XML and the pieces referred in it ...

Download the archive : https://mega.nz/file/fstHSZAB#…pSX1d60Squ_3A0U0z8xqhLmaE

RE: Flashing problem Amiko Viper 4K V30

- Unpack the archive , put it on a fat32 usb stick !
- power off , insert stick
- power-on with GREEN pressed some 10s

Not me ... raed ! he included networking support at

build time into some recipe , this installs by default

samba ! I just build a new OpenPLi Homebuild image !

OpenPLi HomeBuild dm900

What's new :

- official version name is HomeBuild

- networking support is active

- internal HDD can be accessed from Windows

- feeds are functional but not in sync ! are older !!!

Do not "Software Update" ... feeds are functional but out of sync !

Download : https://mega.nz/file/msk3XSqJ#…4_DvYu3ql_9aYMHYzAUeYLCcg

Unfortunately , complex "samba" installation , introduce

some hidden bug ! the host name is visible ... but that's all !

Both @Raed's images , OpenBH and OpenTS have the same

issue !

You need to install "samba" ...

opkg install samba

the name from /etc/hostname (dm900)

will appear in Network after STB reboot !!!

You can try to define by yourself ! editting :

/etc/hostname

OK ! error reported !

Thats happen because the HDD was declared in other images like

a network location ! I'm not home right now ! but I'll try to see

how to solve ! Network paths are not OK !

I've made a test here on other STB under OpenATV ...

First time when accessing Network it requires user/passwd

from the STB then remember that and access it very fast !

Please confirm you are using the same procedure to

build Network Shortcuts !

On DM 920 UHD ... please discard the offer to update ! there

are 484 new modules ! too much and even ends with success

will block the Boot ! You can disable the offer tot update from

the Menu !!!

Yes ! but you can disable it from Menu !
