Openbox s11 hard reboot results in constant rebooting

[Federer16]

have you tried factory default and then just scanning for the channels, instead of loading any channel lists by usb.

and just make sure you got the correct firmware on, since you have tried loads of them m8.

try the OCTOBER firmware, then factory default, then just try scanning for channels

Federer16, yes mate I have done that, it is running the 17.11.11 firmware which when looked at in the info screen shows 22 oct, and then just a channel scan and i can still make it do the reboot loop.

Maybe its just one of those things that I have to live with, and I can solve it by just leaving the box unplugged for about 30 mins.

I take it no-one else has had any problems like this?

your not alone fella, Im having the exact same problems with mine. Im lost to why this is happening and was gonna try a new lnb thinking it maybe that but im not convinced its the problem.

How do i tell what date my firmware is anyway ?
it says version c2hs2-11-10-10:0579cmt if that helps...

Tempted to send it back as the seller is very helpful, dont know what id try next tho ?

Sorry i cant be much help.

Ok il try getting it changed :-) thank you

[digi666]

pacukmak mine came with that firmware, do you know what chip ID your box has?

the sad part is,they way they have been naming firmware lately the only real way of knowing the release date is loading the firmware then looking at the receiver info screen.

[pacUKmak]

Well its still doing it on the newer updated firmware so that rules that one out for me.

The chip thingy was 10aa iirc

Bloody thing does my nut in

Having exact same issues, with the reboot loop driving me mad, I have changed everything from ethernet cable to sat cable hdmi cable lnb, still the same

No solution in sight

[elplicko]

i had this problem and the only way i found was to remove sat feed and the factory reset then reflash with latest fw it lasted about a week then started to do it again so returned it got refund and bought vu+ solo best thing i ever did

The only solution is to leave unplugged for a couple of hours. This on all my s11 10AA boxes has sorted the reboot problem.

One has been running perfect for 2 weeks now, only switched to standby at night but never switched off from the mains.

The other has been fine since Wednesday and I have been switching off from the mains at night. In the morning it is perfect.

So you are not rebooting the boxes at all? What if you want need to reboot do you still have the reboot issue?

I do a soft reboot on the 2 week box (press red power button on remote at night)

I do a hard reboot on the one ok since wed (pull out plug at socket)

Both ok in the morning.

But if I just switch box off and then on again from the rocker switch at the back, it enters the constant rebooting loop.

Then I just pull out the plug and leave it for a bit, sometimes 5 mins is enough otherwise around 2 hours. Then all is ok!

[orinoco]

Exactly same as mine, sure it shouldn't be like this, never had a sat box like it for getting stuck in loop, as you say sometimes 5 mins is enough other times 2 hours

[digi666]

Mate are your boxes 10AA chipsets?
