it's my first ibox4, didn't get it to work before i got the red light, i got it at the end of the first set up i only click on update firmware in the menu and i've read that i must reflash to get it back to work.
i don't know which firmware to choose, i had openpli but maybe some are better than others like
blackpole-enigma,BlackHole, openspa, openvix, openvix-Zeus, or other would be best for what i need to do.
I only want to record tv from a basic home antenna.
Thanks for your help.

Should never update clones over the air mate. it will of downloaded the latest drivers and those may have bricked the box and the only way back been with jtag.

But you can try reflash a image id use this

Id go with Blackhole or OpenATV
 
Ok, now it's download, put it in a fresh formatted in fat32 usb, in folder vuplus/solo plugged it in the front usb and powered it on.

is it the way to do it and how much time should it take approximatively.

Thanks.
 
after 30min the light on my usb key is still on and the red light is still red?
 
Sorry I was out of house, I don't know what I'm flashing because I was finishing the first setup and saw that I could do an update of OpenPli and I've waited untill it stop but it never come back on, stuck on the red light.

And no I still can't download but if someone could send it to me directly by email
[email protected]

Now I tried with this file "OpenAtv 4.1 Cloud Ibox 4 (Mini Duo)Backup By Ferret"
at first it was different as earlier, the usb key light was flashing for a while but now it stopped flashing and stay on, and the ibox4 light is still on a steady red light.

Any clue.

thanks

You are removing the usb stick before rebooting yeah ?

It seems to be taking the flash if the usb light is flashing so all i can suggest at this point is try another image.

Try another

After your usb stick stops flashing you then have the remove it then reboot.
 
I've just try it, when the light of my usb key stop flashing, it stay on so I've take it out then stop the power and turn it back on again but it still stay on red light.
 
Last time I've try it in the usb port on the back of the ibox4 and now it's blue.

Thanks I'll connect it and get back later.
 
Ok, now it on and I finaly found where to set it in 1080i so my Samsung can show images in HDMI.
But I cant found or don't know how to scan on my indoor antenna, it only scan on satellite and it doesn't find any channel.

Do you a clue how I can set it for an indoor antenna!

Thanks

same issue here if anyone can help, have mentioned it in another thread but just hoping to get help asap. Box has red light and wont read my usb so assuming its a bootloader problem? I think its a time bomb issue but not entirely sure
 
Hi!
For me it worked only this way.
Turn off the ibox4
plug the USB formated in fat32 with the uncompressed file in those folder "vuplus/solo" and also I've put it in "vuplus/duo"
but I plugged it on the back of the ibox4, on the front it wouln't work
turn on the ibox 4, the USB will flash for a while
when it stop flashing, unplug the USB and only after you unpluged it, turn off the ibox4.
wait a few second and turn it on again and then you'll see the blue light but after a short red light time (30sec to 1min.)

Hope it will help you.
