Great work Vix team this is the first Miraclebox build that has flashed and restored my backup and plugins with no problems :thumbsup:

Miraclebox Mini HD, using Apollo 015 onwards you now require a new bootloader.

1) Flash the bootloader HERE.
2) Once bootloader is flashed you can now flash Apollo 015 HERE

Glad I stuck to the old 808 on my 2 receivers. Rock solid. I know I will have to change someday....but until then.....Newest is not always best !!

Same here on old 808 won't change till I have to.

All ViX users,

Due to an OE-Alliance issue we're very sorry to have to advise that Apollo Build 015 once again require's a flash and settings backup restore.

Hi there,

at my last attempts of "couch-flashing" with build 008, 012 and 014 (download build 008/012/014 with Vix Image Manager and then restore this image and settings/plugins), my boxes are unfortunately stucked always by starting with rotating spinner "Vix". In this cases, only help was a complete newflash.

So my question is:

Is there any difference between "couch-flashing" and restore settings/plugins or flash an new Image with usb-stick and then restore settings/plugins?

Or possibly is there still something else I have to consider, when executing "couchflashing"?

Regards

Flashing by image manager takes literally 5 minutes and restoring by backup...excellent as always!

i never restore anything and always set up from scratch, it doenst take that long really.

That will depend on your setup. Takes me over 30 minutes though.

Highlight the image you want to flash and press the blue button (Restore).

Then wait for the box to flash and reboot, should take about two minutes.

ok will try that next time.Did reflash by usb and worked perfect.Just removing the usb in the back is anoying but livable with.

I always use the Front USB port and never had a problem but like you say using the rear ones is rather a faf on
it would make them more accessible if they did not fit the HDMI plug right above them

for flashing I use the front usb also but have to remove the back usb stick with my picons and epg on it.It's removing and replacing on feeling but works fine in the end.

Yes thats the correct procedure for when flashing with a USB stick as the receiver tried to read both at the same time, this can cause the flash to fail and in the worst case scenario if this happens mid flash it can kill the receiver. You should always remove all other USB devices except for the one containing the image files. when using the Image manager, you can leave the USB stick containing picons etc in place.

I should have said Ethernet lead
