Hi All,

 

Firstly, please excuse me if this has already been answered but I have trolled everywhere and cannot find it.

 

Purchased an Zgemma H8.2H to play around and provide FTA around the house.  Brilliant box and does exactly what I need it to do.  I wanted to update the firmware as it's running 'OpenPLI Home Buld'.  I gather it's quite old as system info states;

 

 

System OE: PLi-OE Firmware version: OpenPLi homebuild (2020-07-08-develop) Kernel / Drivers: 4.4.35 / 20200708

 

 

I tried following the instructions I found online by formatting USB to FAT32 (kingston and others I tried), with images placed in the root directly

Turning off box

Holding down power on remote + turning on box

 

I tried also placing the contents in the USB as exacted files and as zip files.

 

The box refuses to go into flash upgrade.

What am I doing wrong?  Any help would be appreciated.

 

Thanks.

If it runs OpenPLi, the quickest and easiest way to install a new image is to use the Flash Image option in the setup menu.

 

You need to download the zip (not the multiboot zip), and unpack it in the root of the USB stick.

 

If the USB is not detected, the box should display RCVY in the display, and start the recovery boot menu.

 

If that doesn't happen either, you're not following the procedure correctly (for example pressing the power button too late).
