I can just imagine, people reading this and thinking here we go again, another cabbage head asking stupid basic questions. I understand certain topics should not be approached, and one would be castrated if one did.

 

 Having had a zgemma H2S only a few months and knowing nothing about this subject, like a cabbage. I have lost some of the software. Browsing the menu I found a heading TSpanel clicked  and found coder graphics with lots of little pictures. And hopefully I am on the right website.

 

Would I be able to renew the (firmware operating system? ) For this plug-in as I have fileZilla and I think I have managed to lose some information probably deleted some firmware probably! I hope I haven't broken any rules already, and this subject has probably been covered dozens of times.

 

But some help would be appreciated.

 

Cheers.

Flashing the box again is not a problem, You can run the autobackup plugin to make a config and settings backup to a fat formatted USB stick before you do, and enable "autoinstall".

When done, download the image and extract the zip to the same USB stick (leave the directory structure in place), and flash the box.  

 

We don't include TSpanel in our downloads, due to the potentionally illegal use of it. But there is a thread in this forum about it, so you could check that out for more information.

Thank you for your help,But most of The things you said went astray above my head. I understand I can reinstall openvix using a memory stick, Fat 32,Am I on the right track, will this renew all firmware Am I correct in saying firmware is the operating system? I bought the box already loaded up. Although I had a problem from the beginning and had to reload the skin. But I didn't lose the ccc. I then started experiencing the picture blacking out.And reinstall some new firmware that's when I lost the ccc., but then I went back to openvix. 

 

I watched a couple of YouTube videos downloaded fileZilla And I think I managed to delete some of software on the box, Hence I need to renew the firmware.I hope this makes sense as I am not very technical.I basically just need to renew all my files on the box. And then get the ccc working again.

 

Cheers Chris

Well you may ask anything you want as long as the forum rules are met. Asking for help on how to install CCcam C-Lines f.i. is not done.

If you deleted some part of the firmware, you'd better reflash your box. After reflashing you may wish to add some plugins of your liking. Once everything is running fine perform a full backup and store this in a safe place.

You can find in youtube several guides for flashing images:

you cand download the latest image for your device zgemma H2S from here:

Maybe you better can ask at the Openvix forum how to reinstall Openvix, you're now at the Openpli forum!

Ok chaps I have followed the, you tube link,   Followed it exactly to the letter but still no joy. The piece of software I bought said something "For channel list please go ajsat.co.uk  -heres a video tutorial how to load channel list  https://m.youtube.co...h?v=kVUkIR4-OYo" 

 

I have probably committed another cardinal sin, including these links, but I am not sure what is allowed and what isn't. As some threads mention the C word Without rebuke. And been a bit of a cabbage head I'm feeling a bit out of my depth.

[30 Bob cabbage head]

I didn't expect the link to actually materialise on screen so my apologies beforehand if I have infringed any rules

[WanWizard]

As long as it's not commercial, it's fine.

[Pedro_Newbie]

The link ajsat etc.. is blocked by Eset Smart Security as a misleading site

Can anybody point me to some type of tutorial. Explaining the basics, basically a beginners guide for dummies and cabbage heads!

[30 Bob cabbage head]

Been totally clueless, I don't know whether this is normal? Menu, setup, software updates, "Error- a background update check is in progress please wait a few minutes and try again" The screen freezes and I Have to turn the power off And on to reboot the box to leave this page.Is this normal all part of my problem.

Which image are you using?  OpenVix, OpenPLi, OpenATV,... ?

I am pretty sure that you are not using OpenPLi because the message that you mention here is not part of OpenPLi. 

 

If you are using OpenVIX go and ask your question on there forum.

 

If you want support from here, flash an OpenPLi image.

No point in going to OpenViX forum as ViX does not support zgemma hardware or build images for it. So any OpenViX image for that hardware is un-official.

Ok, as I have said, I am a cabbage and know nothing about this subject trying to learn here! I know nothing about different forums openvix, OpenPLi image, and I simply went into my menu plug-ins opened Tspanel. Found coder graphics just below MFARAj57. And googled it, which led me to this site in the belief that the two were connected.

 

 I can try flash openPLi image, I did try to flash  PLi,  but it didn't seem to flash on my box just boot, I used  openpli-4.0-beta-h3-20170328_usb.zip which was kindly recommended earlier on this site.

 

So I need to load openPLi on my box, or get out of Dodge

How to flash the box:

 

1, Download an image and extract/unzip it.
2, Unzip it and copy the contents as-is to a USB stick, so including the folder structure!
3, Plug the USB stick into the back panel USB port. Make sure no other USB devices are plugged in.
4, Power on.
5, Press the Power key on the front panel after you see “USB”on the display. Then the display now shows “Flash”
6, Wait until the decoder restarts.
7, no need power off, just take off the USB when the receiver is working.

 

Note that this will wipe the entire box, so also any channel lists or other config that are already present on the box! If you have something of value, you need to save it first, for example /etc/CCcam.cfg, or the /etc/enigma2 directory (your GUI configuration and channel lists).

Thank you WanWizard My box has just flashed the bit I was missing was pressed the Power key When USB was showing So thank you again
