I've tried to flash openpli 8.3 for my zgemma h5, from the menu in the gui, after making a backup. (as in the first screenshot on https://wiki.openpli.../Installation).

A progress bar titled ofgwrite informed me about the process and then aborted with an error.

From that point on, I was unable to boot my h5. When I power on, the title "boot" appears on the box display but nothing happens.

How can I try another flashing without the gui (since openpli does not load anymore)?

Page https://wiki.openpli.org/Zgemma reports instructions for all zgemma models apart h5.

Thank you for your help.

  • Download the zip and unzip it onto a FAT32 formatted USB stick
  • Plug the stick into the USB port at the BACK of the box, do not use the front port
  • Wait for "USB" to appear on front display
  • Immediately press power button on front
  • "FLSH" should appear to indicate it is flashing

Thank you, after several tempatives I've successful flashed openpli 8.3 using an old usb pendrive formatted in low mode.

Previously I made a backup. Is it possible to restore all my configuration? Using with pathe on the gui?

Thank you.

Done. I've reflashed oopenpli 8.3 using the same pendrive after having copied the backup file. Thank you for your support.

If you configure autobackup (in the setup menu), you don't have to do than manually anymore. And autobackup backups are automatically restored after a flash.
