Which software are you trying to put on it, if you start again try downloading a different version of f/w. (Dont forget the clone will bugger up with new f/w so i would check that too) Format your usb, back up your original f/w to usb and save it on computer; incase you ever need it again.. then try to install new f/w

Hi m8 i have taken a backup and i have tryed at least 5 set's of F/W and nothing just will not take it

The firmware you're downloading, is it actually a rar archive that you have yet to extract?

The firmware when compressed in a rar archive is about 1.5mb, when extracted the actual firmware file will be about 4mb, the 4mb file is what you upload into the box..

yea I have unziped it I just dont get it its a little odd to say the least

make sure it looks like this OPENBOX_S9_110915.abs
It could be that your usb device isn't compatable with the box. somtimes they do seem picky as to what devices they recognise.. if you can try a different usb dongle
Failing that, only option maybe hooking up to the computer or lan..

This is the thing I have dumped the image from the box to the usb drive no problem and the box can see it no problem. I can load the update no problem but after you hit update and pic file it starts at 0 ends at 100% then comes up with invalid file as you say i can just get it on xp and flash it but dont really wont to do it like that how would i do it with lan ?

Ok, ermmm, try this, before flashing the firmware upgrade, first restore factory defaults on the box, it will free up memory slots to take & process the upgrade file...

how would i do it with lan ?

edit, does s10 too

You could also try an older / other version of the flash file........just a thought as I had similar issues on my S10 a couple of months back

If i recall correctly, I had to use a version from May / June in order to get it working correctly - havent had an issue since
