Lonrison Clonesafe Images (for use with v4 flashed clones only)

These images are for use with v4 flashed boxes only. If you haven't got a v4 flashed box or you are not sure what flash version you have, do NOT use these images as it is very likely it will brick your box. You have been warned.

I recommend backing up your current image first before flashing with these images and I recommend
not doing a restore of any previous settings

These drivers have the drivers confirmed as clonesafe (with v4 flashed boxes). Due to these drivers being old, some features may not work or work as intended and XBMC support and animated screens are two such features.

These images have the driver version patch and drivers write-protected already applied but I still advise against doing an online update. Any updates done are at your own risk as it may cause bricked box!

I take no responsibility for any bricked boxes or other problems due to using this image. Use these images at your own risk!


Remember these images are for use only with boxes known to be using v4 flash update.


OpenVix Apollo 153 (build 03/03/15)
OpenVix Apollo 153 Sky looking setup (build 03/03/15)

OpenATV 4.2 (build 04/03/15)

BlackHole 2.1.4 (build 05/12/14)

OpenPLi 4 (build 04/03/15)

VTi 8.0.0 (build 25/02/15)

 
Apollo 153 works good , the older one wasnt zapping trough webif.. this one is perfect
 
i also tried VTI 8.0 and it works great !! i didnt stay with VTI cause they dont offer support for my avermedia dvb-t tunner... the A867r is not working even if the drivers are installed.
 
Images working fine.

Don't know why but when using the OpenVix image the box fan runs a hell of lot louder than any of the others.

All the other images work as normal just both OpenVix images.

Any ideas?

@fofo233, there is a thread here that may help with using v4 flash. Please post in that thread or if there is a mod handy maybe the last two posts could be moved?

Turn the fan speed down. I have the fan speed up high on my sunray box (which image was taken from just swapped drivers) as I have a quiet fan.

Thanks! Knew it would be something simple!
 
Hi is there a way to deactivate online update on these images?

No actual way that I know.

You can disable the check which may already be disabled but you can check...

Menu > System > Software update settings > Background check to No

No image will update automatically it's down to user to run an update...
You can turn off image looking/checking for update in update settings.
 
Can anyone confirm which image is the best for IPTV?
i've already tested PBenigma 4.2 and now i'm on Black Hole 2.1.4 (very stable image but IPTV mainly TSmedia very slow to start!)
thanks

There is no best image..it's very hit and miss with TSmedia..as you know it's no good with openpli images so any other images that runs TSmedia really,I've only ever tried it in openvix and it was crap then as well..

ok thanks AJT, so i will stay with my android box with Kodi for IPTV
 
I've had TSMedia and KodiDirect working fine on OpenPLI and OpenVIX,

However, I do find that OpenVix is generally a far more stable image.

Hi Ketmp.
I need a bit of advise here please.
I have a vu solo2 v2 lorinsen clone, i did the update to v4 no problem there, and fat32 usb stick and loaded the BlackHole 2.1.4 (build 05/12/14) which i found in your downloads here. The image went into the box without any problems and all fired up well.. but when i tried to do the Tuner setup it kept giving me a Tuner configs not setup and thats where i found the problem. So to move forward as i dont give up so easy i went into the addons and downloaded vhanibels motor e2 settings these when into the stb fine. I could go to any sat and worked ok, So to the next step i used dreamedit to upload the setting to the pc and made the lists as i like them and put them back into the stb and bump again it said Tuners not configured. So i tried again to do the Tuner setup and still no joy. So back to addons and again installed the vhanibels motor e2 and again all worked well. But please ketmp, can you tell me why when i want to make my own list even via the box remote editing and spending many hrs to do the lists the way i like them and then uploaded to the pc to save as a backup, and then back to the stb and bump same thing happened again said no Tuners configed, After many attemps with no joy i loaded Blackhole 2.1.1 for the vu hd x site that i downloaded from them as good messure and all works fine again, So if you can please tell me the solution to stop the problem with BlackHole 2.1.4 (build 05/12/14) from the downloads here please. to stop the tuner problem i seem to be getting as a fault.

Kind regards Talks.

@Talks,

About 3/4 other members (to the best of my knowledge), have had issues with tuner freezes up after flashing the v4 flash update.

It's really weird as probably almost all Lonrison clone users have probably got v4 flash update but only of recent have their been reports of tuner issues.

Some have posted in this thread. Could you post this info in that thread to help others.

Have you only recently bought your solo2 clone? Was it Solo2 SE? Is it definitely a Lonrison clone (ie sticker says visit vu-hd website?


UPDATE: Could you, also try Karl68's image here and report in that other thread above if that helps.
