Eurovox ex7000 problem after updating firmware.

[kingeasynow]

Firstly apologies if this has been covered elsewhere but I can't find a similar thread.

I have updated an ex7000 with the latest firmware (initially using the USB method but have since also tried the null modem).

After the box installed the firmware the display on the front went from the countdown to installing the firmware to displaying a message saying "now booting..." this will stay on for a few seconds, flash off then re-appear.

The box itself does not output anything to the TV, either through scart or HMDI.

I have tried installing older firmware (including the FTA 090402) that I found on here, but I'm at a loss.

Has anyone encountered anything similar? If so a solution to my problem would be a godsend. Or does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

on a sidenote the file main_090122.tbn, how does this differ to the other flash files and if it to be applied should it also be renamed flash.tbn?

thanks.

in order for the file to work you need to rename the file to flash.tbn. this will work fine,

Still exactly the same problem. I'm currently using the rs232 cable to flash the box as my usb key isn't with me.

I open STB Manager, select my flash.tbn file > send it to box > it downloads on a counter on the box display to 99 > it then repeats the counter but for the writing stage.

Then the box display flashes off and comes back up with " now rebooting..."

Where it constantly repeats the message.

I'm stumped!

put the file onto a usb pen but make sure the file reads flash.tbn
make sure your ex7000 is switched off.
stick the usb pen into the usb slot at the back and switch on. it will then read the file and write to system, it reboots then works, that is exactly what i do and it works.
if yours doesnt work then your box may be faulty.

Unfortunately that's what I'm thinking. Obviously suppliers won't touch a box if they've been flashed but i assume if i put the FTA firmware back on they'll have a look at the box and see what the problem is?

Hi, is the original firmware available online, I'm useless at this computer larky and cant find it??? Cheers in advance

[kingeasynow]

I'm pretty sure the original free to air channels firmware is on here. One of the mods might be able to point you in the right direction.
