I have recently purchased a AZboxPremium HD which is my first experience of Linux based received. Itcame with an Enigma2 image loaded and the Spaze skin as well as othertools (CorssEPG, Coot TV Guide etc).
I have managed to break the box. It wasworking fine until I had to unplug it to fit my new TV (my son brokethe screen of my old one ). When Irestarted it I found the programme guide (saved to external HDD) wasnot working. I ran the download again, reloaded the programmes andthen went to reboot the box.
During the reboot it recognised that Ihad a new TV and went through a wizard to set up the TV setting (fromwhat I remember I selected HDMI > 1080p > 60htz). Then thescreen went blank. I rebooted the box and it said ‘VFD ready’ andthen goes onto ‘Starting bootup’ but does not go any further.Tried to hook it up to the old TV, HDD etc just to kick it back tolife but it seems to have died on me (I think form what I have readon forums).
I need to find a way of recovering thesystem (similar to Windows – sorry for having to use the W word). Iliked the box with the e2 and Spaze and recovering it back to thatmode would be ideal but it looks like I may have to get it back tothe original AZ firmeware to get the box back up and running.
I have read up on quite a few posts(seems to be a common issue when doing an image update / load) aboutusing Jazup or loading from a USB stick with a‘patch.bin’ file. Also read about jtag but not very keenon opening up the box (unless it just a case of connecting adaptorand it jolts it back to life).
What I am struggling to understandwhich is the best option for my situation as most issue are as aresult of image update / load. The Jazup seems to require IP addressbut the box does not go far enough in the bootup to show any signs ofthe IP address. The USB stick with a ‘patch.bin’file options looks good (I should be able to use my HDD onceformatted), but I do not understand what the box will be recoveredto. Will it go back to the E2 image or the original FW (not a totaldisaster if it gets the AZ FW as I have not had a change to see whatthat is like).
There is lots of infoonline but its knowing which is the bestapproach or option for me that I can use quickly and easily(relatively speaking). What im looking for is someone to say ‘yourbox is dead or not’, ‘use the batch.bin file (link to file) toget ip address’ then use ‘Jazup (or something else) to reload /recover your box back to E2 or original FW??? If that is what needsto be done.
Thanks you in advance foryour help.
