Firmware Update from 7.4 to 7.6Beta

#1

Beitrag von naigy »

Hi all,

I have been running 7.4 on my T4 for quite a while now but with the long weekend figured try update to the newest firmware. I have downloaded the 7.6 firmware beta to upload to using the "Online flash" method in the OpenATV menu. It downloaded fine and started the install and the screen then goes completely blank (without showing any instructions of switch off or press a certain button etc). I have left it for over two hours and nothing happens.

Doing a hard reset using the power switch on the back boots it up into the old 7.4 firmware with all my mods etc. untouched. I have attempted to do the same thing again and got the same result. As such feel there is some kind of compatibility issue or I am doing something wrong

Just curious as to whether anyone else is running 7.6 at all and if so was it as a fresh install from USB or was another method of install used.

Well, in such cases it's allways the best, to make an image-backup, and save the channel list to a PC (via WebIF-Bouquet-Editor or DreamBoxEdit), and flash clean via USB - not restoring any old data. To ensure that, it might be necessary to disconnect any other storage-device to avoid restoring automations after flashing and rebooting.

Thanks. That worked. Just wish I remembered to backup my keymap file manually beforehand. In hindsight I do recall that it isn't backed up by default with other settings. Serves me right for having the needed changes in the master keymap file.

Otherwise so far things are looking a bit smoother in 7.6 Beta but have only been using it for a few hours.
