According to new procedure of 21/04/2020

Amiko Viper 4K, Gigablue UHD Trio 4K and Octagon SF8008.

 

1) Download recovery_emmc.zip for your model receiver from www.openvix.co.uk.
2) Extract the zip file.
3) In the extracted file you will see the following files:

  • apploader.bin
  • bootargs.bin
  • fastboot.bin
  • imageversion
  • usb_update.bin

4) Copy the above 5 files directly to root of your USB stick.
5) Ensure your receiver is powered off and connect USB stick to USB port on your receiver.
6) Amiko Viper 4K & Gigablue UHD Trio 4K hold down REAR reset button and power on while hold this down. Octagon SF8008 hold down front Stanby button and power on whilst holding this down. Once UPDT appears on front screen release reset button or power button, whichever applies to your receiver.

8) Once completed your receiver will boot into your previously flash image. If the receiver gets stuck on boot it just means you need to flash a new image. Either way NEW IMAGE HAS TO BE FLASHED.
9) Due to flash partion re-sizing you now need to flash a new image.
10) Power off, BUT ENSURE RECOVERY IMAGE FLASHING IS COMPLETED BEFORE POWERING OFF.
11) Download the image ZIP file for your receiver. Image zip file ends in simply 'mmc.zip'.
12) Copy the complete 'ZIP' file to root of USB stick, DO NOT UNZIP.
13) Amiko Viper 4K & Gigablue UHD Trio 4K hold down REAR reset button and power on while hold this down. Octagon SF8008 hold down front Stanby button and power on whilst holding this down. Once UPDT appears on front screen release reset button or power button, whichever applies to your receiver.

But in our download section the available files for octagon  are not in mmc.zip

https://openpli.org/.../octagon/SF8008

How to install it when box menu already updated and download file cant be seen in multiboot menu ?

For the sf8008 all recovery files are in the ...usb.zip file. The multiboot file contains the other files when you flash via boot menu

The recovery_emmc.zip is equal to our _usb.zip. And the mmc.zip is equal to our multiboot.zip.

OpenPli development 8.0 25/01/2021

 

Clean install without any backup restore .

With normal daily usage plugins working flawlessly. 

Botjh Network ok  ( wifi & lan)

Kodi tested . working fine  with normal repo available on authentic sources.

I have noticed most of the cracked repo and unofficial build have major issues 

like audio and some time video codec issue but after restart some time it works. 

But I have not shared it in my public posts because cant confirm. May be :

-network issue .

-some addons needs more fast internet 

-codec issues

- dependencies issues

Thats why I am not finalizing that kodi is 100% working.

But over all the image is perfect and working fine 

Thanks to OpenPli team & developers

Octagon doesn't supply kodi in the BSP (it needs EGL drivers).


Currently in use: VU+ Duo 4K (2xFBC S2), VU+ Solo 4K (1xFBC S2), uClan Usytm 4K Pro (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.

Many answers to your question can be found in our new and improved wiki.
