Thanks!
It seems there is something wrong. Not with your output, but with the image... We check.

[Erik Slagter]

This suggests that the boot and cfe partitions indeed can be overwritten by too large rootfs or kernel images (if partition sizes are not adhered to).

 

rootfs = 118 Mib

kernel = 4 MiB

Erik please see internal thread...

VU Duo and Solo 6.0 images are offline until we find out the reason for the problems.

[WanWizard]

From my preliminary research it looks like the duo and solo images may contain the bootloader of the solose for some weird reason...

 

edit: uno and ultimo have the same problem, I've taken them offline too.

ubifs uses compression. So flashed image size should be smaller than 128MB... I still don't understand why this image should brick the box.

Edit: Maybe kernel size?
Can somebody with an original Duo post the output of

cat /proc/mtd

dev:    size   erasesize  name

mtd0: 3d900000 00020000 "rootfs"

mtd1: 3d900000 00020000 "rootfs(redundant)"

mtd2: 00700000 00020000 "kernel"

mtd3: 00200000 00020000 "mac"

mtd4: 3a65c000 0001f000 "rootfs"

 

well it is for duo2 , forget my post

Hello, it's true. 10 days ago, I also recorded the OpenPli 6 and after turning on, only the red LED lights! I have original VU + SOLO. Instructions for fixing the bootloader are attached.After repainting the bootloader I uploaded OpenPli 4 and the receiver is working again.

Quick Question please.

I see many different things added for Kodi 17.

Don't have a vps currently to try and compile, so wondering how far approx you think it may be to in normal plugins available for download?

I know thats a lame question, but intrigued.

Thank you.

[teleradio]

Hello!

 

This to inform you that the GUI disappears regularly on my Xtrend ET-9200, no matter whether I do an online update or by USB or I power down the box in deep standby and start it again. Oddly enough this happens not every time but quite frequently. Especially after the last 3 - 4 builds.

 

​Can someone have a look in to this matter please?

 

​Thank you in advance!
