Replay Lite

Have done all that i now have the upgrade software panel with connecting on it but nothing happening in progress bar, its been like that for 5 mins now. GMAN any other ideas

 

Repeat that again Anto but this time when you open STBlink "DON'T DO THE COM SETUP" Just go straight to the download part & see what happens.

If that doesn't work try it one more time only this time use the 742a firmware first.

 

is 742A in eamos library

Ok Gman got 742A tried to flash it and still getting panel with upgrade software at top connecting with progress bar under it but nothing happening and then under progress bar is the cancel tab.

 

Yes it is Anto.

 

Gman still the same nothing happening except software upgrade panel with nothing happening anything else i can do

 

Are you even getting the "Connection Established" on the STBlink?

Power down the Replay while still connected & power it up again quickly (Real quickly) you may need to try this a couple of times.

 

gman i put in the codes manually on the box to check that it is working and it did with manual input but just can,t seem to flash it with any other firmware anything else i acn do besides thrown it out the window

 

gman did what you suggested and got upload for a few seconds then a message saying it seems i'm using an old version of bootloader would i like to upgrade what do i do

 

If you have an option to accept? then go for it, otherwise to the quick power off & on again.

 

ok i chose yes to upgrade boot loader and got message saying important time please keep power while boot loader is upgrading i hit ok and i get a panel for upgrade boot-loader, in it it has the word connecting a progress bar but nothing happening HELP what is happening have you seen this before

 

I'm using the stblink 5.20 should i try the stblink 6. Mind you i used 5.20 for 2 other boxes and it woked no probs

 

No Anto I have never come across this before (You're good! I'll give you that ;-).

STBlink 5.20 is fine, that's not causing it anyway.

Have you tried rebooting the PC itself? I'm just wondering if the serial port is caught in some sort of loop?

 

Anto, do you have access to anyone who has a Replay that hasn't been upgraded yet? As in it having one of the v7 firmwares (Not the 9)cause you could clone it to the problem box.

It is possible the the boot loader on the problematic box has become corrupt.

As a last resort you could reflash the one you done earlier with 742a & use that to clone, then upgrade them both to 910.....

 

no still the same how to you a box to box flash maybe i could try that sorry gman you had posted before wrote this I don,t know anyone else with a replay lite pity i did'nt try this one before i did the other one that worked no probs.

 

will try that have you got any literature on how to flsah one box of the other

 

Remember Anto, You can not clone using the 910 firmware.

Look at my previous post, I edited it.

Here's how to clone:

To do this just power up the WORKING BOX, we will call it "BOX 1) connect null modem cable to it.

Then with power OFF on second box (Plug Out) connect other side of null modem cable to this box (BOX 2). Then power up BOX 2. The light on the front of BOX 2 (the one you are copying to) will flash red/green approx every second for about 5 mins it will then flash rapidly when it is complete. When this happens it is complete. Unplug the power from BOX 2 and disconnect the null cable. You then have an exact copy of BOX 1 including password and favs.

You can then flash both of the boxes with the new 910 image

 

thanks gman im in process of reflashing other one with 742A. will let you know how i get on.

 

gr8 Anto,

I have to nip out for a bit, will check with you l8r.

Good Luck!

 

Gman its looking promising, way to go, will keep you posted

 

gman did'nt work i flashed one box to the other with 742A that bit worked but i still can't flash 910 onto the one like before the other one is upgrading fine but no luck with other one, now i can't even put on the firmware that was on it before LOL don't know what i'm going to do
