Hi guys,

 

I have a zgemma star s, and no matter what USB I try to flash the image with it just won't work.

Is there a way to do this by FTP or PUTTY?

I searched in the forum and didn't come across any answers. This is my first post, so sorry if this question has been answered before and I just overlooked the answer.

 

TIA

Flashing is only done in one specific way.
Unpack the sf1 image and put the complete map /zgemma/ on the USBstick. This should work.

Mijn schotel is een T90 met 10 LNB's. Daarnaast voor de fun nog een draaibaar systeem met een Triax TD 78.

Dreamboxen heb ik niet meer echt actief. Verder heb ik ook nog een een VU+ duo2 met 500Gb harddisk + een VU+ Uno, Zero, Solo 4K, Ultimo 4K, Zero 4K, Uno 4Kse. + ook nog een Xtrend ET7x00. Daarnaast heb ik ook nog diverse andere modellen w.o. een Formuler F4, ET8500, ET7500, Mut@nt 2400HD, Xsarius Fusion HD se en verder nog wel het e.e.a. waarmee op verzoek vanalles wordt getest. Iemand moet het tenslotte doen. ;) :)
Los van de eerder genoemde modellen heb ik nog wel een rits aan testsamples als Mut@nt 2400HD, HD60, GB UE4K, GB Trio4K, Maxitec Multibox combo en Twin, Octagon sf8008, sf8008 mini en last but nog least enkele modellen van het Grieks Duitse Edision.

Voor centrale opslag van media gebruik ik een Qnap 219P 
met tweemaal 2 Tb harddisks + een Synology DS414 met 12 Tb Totale opslag.

USB stick has to be FAT32 formatted!

I have the USB formatted correctly guys, I also unpacked the files and mapped them as suggested. Still no joy at all. Thanks for the advice though

Try other USB slot. In some cases (don't know your box) you'll have to press a button at the frontpanel of the box so that flashing starts.

Hi mate, I've tried absolutely everything. My box is grand, it's my dad's, it's a star s. I think it's time to get him a new one. Thank you for your advice. Have a nice weekend.

Some boxes are also very picky about the USB stick. The bootloader has a very short timeout (in order not to delay the startup too much), if the stick isn't detected in that time, you can't flash with that stick.

 

For boxes having this problem, the older and smaller the stick, the better. Moderm 8GB sticks are not detected by these boxes, try an old one, 1GB or less.


Currently in use: VU+ Duo 4K (2xFBC S2), VU+ Solo 4K (1xFBC S2), uClan Usytm 4K Ultimate (S2+T2), Octagon SF8008 (S2+T2), Zgemma H9.2H (S2+T2)

Due to my bad health, I will not be very active at times and may be slow to respond. I will not read the forum or PM on a regular basis.
