ZGemma H2S Stuck in Boot

[mathewjones1987]

Good Afternoon!
I have an old ZGemma H2S Box which is stuck in boot. No Display just boot on the front screen. Any ideas on how to resolve this?

Thanks in advance

Thanks guys! Hoping itll do something as like I said its currently stuck in Boot, Ill keep you updated

Been a long time iv played about with my zegmma box

There is a file called noforce just rename it to force and save

Then you will be able to flash the image

You have to format the usb drive to fat32

No luck, Still stuck on boot on the front screen, renamed the filed aswell

Try all usb ports and these boxes are picky about usb sticks they flash from.

The smaller the stick capacity the better.

Stuck in boot can also be caused by a failing PSU and as the box tries to boot the box demands more power to kick in the tuner etc.

Try find a psu that matches the spec of the original amp and polarity wise. You may have one lying about from something else.

Thanks Ferret, Am I right in saying that when it starts to boot, the front display will change?

Yea, should say FLSH or similar lol

Thanks Ferret, Am I right in saying that when it starts to boot, the front display will change?

Before you try flash again please dont overlook the advise on the PSU

 

[mathewjones1987]

Tested the PSU and all ok and also tired another, Still nothing, No Display on screen and just displaying BOOT on the display sadly

 

[Ferret]

So have you tried multiple USB stick and renamed the noforce file to force ?

 

[mathewjones1987]

Yes tried front and back USB, renamed and still nothing, Just the words Boot on the front
