hi all

try to sort out a mates amiko 2+, it looks like he did an online update and now the box it stuck in boot ,
I have downloaded the latest image 2.2.009 and flash it with usb as normal, but it wont boot just stays on the boot screen,
I tried vix 2.2.008 and went back to 2.1.002 but it still the same, I tried an older image 2.0.004 and I booted fine, but their is no plugins under plugin section so I cant install oscam,

any suggestions as it driving me mental

thanks

Is your box not supported by vix then
unfortunately not, I just successfully booted openatv, but don't like it, really prefer vix4project. I think now the files I am downloading from vix4.com are corrupt or something because the others I have tried all load no problem. don't suppose anyone has a backup vix4 image?

cheers K
 
The files are not corrupt, tried and tested many a time but if it's not flashing/booting for whatever reason then you could try going about flashing this in a different way using either the older version of ViX4E2PROJECT that does boot for you or OpenATV - as both of these also have the option for flashing new firmware from within the existing firmware - You can then use this method to flash the latest version firmware to see if this works for you.
 
Yes, it's Menu > Setup > ViX4E2PROJECT > Image Manager > Restore

Make sure the image you want to flash is still in the zip file and is on a USB stick that's mounted as /media/hdd and in a folder called imagebackups - This way it will be visible to Image Manager and so selectable to 'restore'.

Thanks for info.
 
Hi Lavaman, flashed 2.0.009 then,downloaded 2.2.009 again, ftp the zip file directly into imagebackups folder on the hdd of the amiko 2+. within image 2.0.009 I went into vixprogect>image manager>restore, and selected the zip file I had transferred, it went through the restore process, rebooted and is again stuck on the boot screen, VIX e24 Project 2.2.009 blue+ . I have tried downloading using different browsers to see would it make a difference but its the same, could you maybe upload an image to see if it will make a difference

Thanks K
 
There is nothing different to upload unfortunately, it's the same one been used on hundreds of A2+ receivers recently with no problem (should also work with twin and triple but can't voucher for that as they've not been made for years now and I don't own one).

Contact me on Skype during the week as mentioned previously and I'll try going through this with you to see if I can help.

thanks, will catch up with you next week so.
 
I think personally that vix4 are giving up supporting amiko boxes. you only have to look at their latest version 4 to see that the alien 2+ has been left out when it could easily include the 2+ as many people run open atv on these receivers which is what 4 is based on.
 
You're right in the respect of there will not be any ViX4E2PROJECT 4.0 releases by me for the Alien range. I did already explain this to you in your emails the other day, but your reasons for this being the case are quite wrong.

Regardless of 4.0 though, the existing 2.2 releases for this (and other makes / models) are still as available as ever including addons server. They did not cause the world to stop turning when the 4.0 releases came out for some other models, carry on using it if you wish, change to something else or think of different hardware, it's your choice but if you need some help with something specifically to do with ViX4E2PROJECT regardless of version than as I told you in your emails just the other day you can add me on Skype and I'll help you out, just as I've spent much of my morning, noon and nights doing all this last week, if you need it I'll do the same for you to.

google hyperion image pkteam i would say it it the best for that box
 
ahhhhh different hardware now I get it! then you can sell me a receiver!
 
what are you talking about if you have no input on this thread please go to something that you may find usefull
 
its just my opinion that's all and how can it not be constructive input when it seems the build for alien has been dropped now with no new updates etc coz 4 has been released on other platforms
