Anyone help on this one...whilst flashing my Sagem x2 box the power went in the area when it was about 30-40% through, when it came back the box is now stuck on the start up logo, and says loading kernel...its not a kein system message. Now i've tried reflashing using IFA but no success.

The image I was flashing was Sportster_2x_1.05_rc25_fb_uk_clk_ywb. The default IP address for this would be appreciated, from what I remember it was 192.168.150.105......does anyone know if thats correct?

Anyone help, whats the next move?
 
You will have to use IFA
Check you have done all this
Go to control panel then network connections
right click on local area connect and pick properties.
there you will see underneath connect using....your network card
next to this will be a configure tab click on it.
then click on the advanced tab
you need to look for flow control,duplex,linkspeed,mediatype or connection type
drop the value tab arrow down and set to 10baseT_halfduplex or 10 half mode or try automatic or autosense
Then
1.Install IFA in to C:/ check that IFA has been Added to the exceptions in windows firewall,then turn the firewall off,
2.Disable ALL antivirus programs...If you have any Norton crapware disable worm blocking aswell
you might even have to unistall it this includes systemworks aswell
there is a removal tool in the downloads to get rid of anything norton leaves behind
3.Disable any popup stoppers.
4.Give your pc network card a static ip.
IE:pC ip:192.168.1.201 (not needed with ifa but set to this anyway)
subnet mask 255.255.255.0
5.Disable any other network cards you have installed including wireless
6.Disable ics (internet card sharing if available)
7.Ethernet crossover cable connected
8.Nullmodem cable connected if you have one
9.Turn off box,
10.Put Image in C:/ and rename it to mtd3.img
11.Start IFA
12.Select networkcard
13.Tick nullmodem if you have one
14.Select image in C:/
15.Press ok, if it goes to a comm window turn on the box.
16.If you dont get flashing in the lcd on the box try holding the power and up button in till the lcd goes blank
then let go wait about 10 seconds
keep trying a few times.

You can only try doing the next part if you have a nullmodem cable also.
Hold power and up button in till lcd goes blank then let go of power button then up button 2 seconds later
it will go through 3 tests in com window then stop at
dbox ppcboot> type in "boot net" then press enter
if it does not start to flash
then something is still blocking the network.
 
Thanks for the fast response, done all that, can't do this bi:

"16.If you dont get flashing in the lcd on the box try holding the power and up button in till the lcd goes blank
then let go wait about 10 seconds
keep trying a few times."

As the fookin buttons don't work, only ever used the remote so never knew until today!!

Tried using the remote by using the standby button and the channel up one, didn't work.

Just pull the plug from the mains, leave it for 10 seconds and plug back in.

Make sure all antivirus software is shutdown and all firewalls are disabled, including windows XP firewall, or it won't work.

Your network card in the PC also has to have a static ip address, something like 192.168.1.200.
 
Just wanted to give you an upate, finally managed to flsah another image onto the box.....took me most of the day and I now have TV again...amazing how TV rules our daily lives!!

Thanks fr your help guys, finally got there!
