Put the image on on USB drive, stick it in the back usb port, switch box on, box will say boot then USB then if it doesn't go to flash hit hit the power button on front of box, it should now start flashing the image.

@Putthefootieon, ensure you unzip the downloaded file then place the 'zgemma' folder on your USB stick drive

Finally Got it going after thought i'd bricked the box constant loading on the open atv after doing a factory reset, but getting that sorted then the 5.3 software on straight after cut out a lot of the work that's for sure (Nice one) i set the epg auto bouquet thing to my region but itv is yorkshire anyway of fixing

Hi. thx , Two things
will i have to rescan channels now as just set it to merseyside custom area then restarted box but still same Yorkshire when checked on the quick remote pull down , Also i noticed when i press epg to see the full screen epg as in choosing bouquet or section i.e entertainment , it was pretty much blank only had one or two stations max that had any epg in atall ..(epg is set to usb dongle at front panel) i was even up at 4.30 am when it updated the light on it was flashing
i did fully power down the box from wall 10 minutes or so after that had completed dont know if thats affected the epg as did seem fine till starting back up this morning

Or you can setup a power timer to put the box into standby for you at your desired time for the update, that's the way my H.2H is setup... autobouquet scan at 03.00am then powertimer into standby at 03.15 for 5 mintue EPG refresh scan for Vrigin Media and wakeup again at 03.30 for EPG-Importer scan for SKY.
