Hi i hope somewon can help i have box to fix for a m8 when i plug it in it says please wait just loading its been like that for 1 hour i have tried reflashing it but its still the same thanx for your help

Are you flashing it with the same image? or are you using a different one?

Hi m8 i have tried the same 1 then when that did'nt work i tried another 1 the 1 that is on it is lincsat's but when i reflashed it with andromida it still had the lincsat logo so i dont think its flashing ps i have flashed this box b4 and the led on the box is ~~~~ed so its hard to see when the flash is finished if at all

[gizmo.1484]

Doe's the box get stuck at the image logo when you boot it up?
If so then you will have to use Ifa to flash it as a ftp program will not work.

Edit:

the led on the box is ~~~~ed so its hard to see when the flash is finished if at all

That is the problem then you are not letting the flash finish before you switch it off.

As above if it's stuck on the boot screen then you will have to use Ifa but cause you cannot see the lcd to see if it is flashing then you will have to use a null modem cable aswell as a xover cable so you can see the boot log so you will know when the flash as started.

If just using a xover cable it can take up to 15mins for Ifa to flash your box so just give it that bit longer as you cannot see the lcd.
Then you will know for sure it as finished.....

i am using a null modem and a xover i left it 7 mins but its still the same

It sounds like the image you are using is corrupt. D/load a fresh image then try again see if that works. If not then try a different version of Ifa

Post what you get in the com window of IFA when you try and flash it.
