Hello good,

I have a zgemmah92h deco, it had the OpenATV image, I tried to put OpenPLI 8.3 in it with the USB and it got blocked, it got a white screen that says "HISILICON".

 

I have tried again to load the image or another image via USB and it is impossible.

Any ideas???

Hi,

 

Use the recovery menu to flash.

Thanks, but mine is the Zgemma H92H and the link you sent me is for the H9S SE.

I can't find the software recovery for the H92H

The H9.2H Firmware is used in many other H9 models. https://openpli.org/...d/zgemma/H9.2H/

I will try to flash the NB later today if I have the time.

That's the one that killed me

I hope you don't mean 'you' but just the hardware. 

I'll do my best to perform a flash soon.

I first flashed the latest NB from the Menu. That worked 100%.

Then I performed an USB flash on my H9.2H but flashing didn't work. Image seemed not to be recognized.

After several tests I took another USB stick and first flashed a Release. That worked.

 

• Then I placed the latest NB and unpacked this on the same stick.
• Pushed and held the tiny black button on the back and powered on the box with the white button.
• From the moment the front led started to blink I released the tiny button and the box started to flash.
• The box booted and setup worked Ok.

The NB is OK. You simply used a wrong USB stick like I did too.

This is what you put on the USB???

With this structure

[WanWizard]

You unpack it as-is, so the stick will have a "h9" folder with the files in it.

 

Also, the stick must be formatted FAT, and may not contain any errors (which Windows often ignores), usually due to unsafe removal of the stick.

Thanks for your great help

I have tried it with 3 USB and I can't get it with any

I think the decoder is dead

It is quite difficult to brick a box, if you see the HiSilicon logo on screen, the bootloader / BIOS of the box is still working, so flashing should be possible.

Just flashed my H9.2H using this procedure: https://wiki.openpli...T_and_H9.2S.2FH

 

Flashed without problems.

[piter332]

I'll keep trying, but it looks bad

Thanks to both of you

How far do you get, if you switch the box off, plug the stick in, press the reset button, and while you keep it pressed (this is important, don't let go until the logo on the front starts alternating red/white), switch on the box.

That's what I do, but the problem is that the logo stays white, it doesn't blink.

I have tried 3 USB and at least 30 times and nothing

[neo]

Hmm...

 

USB devices too big / too new? There are boxes that have problems with USB3 devices, I use an old 1Gb stick I got as a commercial giveaway which never fails me.

 

Unpacked the zip correctly? It should have 3 files in the root, and a folder called "h9" with 7 more files.

 

Getting out of idea's now.

[piter332]

With that same USB, I loaded the last image to the first one.

Checked all files multiple times

[piter332]

As the deco is under warranty, they are going to change it for the Zegmma H11S, I will try to install the latest OpenPLI.

Let's see if this time I'm capable

Thanks for your help

On the root of your USB stick it is just the   h9   folder that must be there and not the openpli-8/3-.... like mentionned in your screenshot.

So that's normal that you cannot flash it successfully it doesn't find the h9 folder the boot is looking at.
