Apollo 025 Reflash Stuck with red light

[Brownbear1984]

Hi All

I noticed that for the Apollo 025 update we have to reflash. I just tried and my GB Quad is stuck with a red light. Do I need a new bootloader for this update as I've never flashed the bootloader since I got it last year. If so which bootloader do I need and can anyone post a link to it?

Thanks

Brownbear

Don't think we've ever needed any bootloaders for GBQuad?
My Quad gets stuck on red light every now & again. A powerdown for a few minutes usually sorts the issue.

new bootloaders are required for all new gb images.

Have you a link to GBQuad bootloaders?

 

[Brownbear1984]

Ahh that would be why then. I've managed to fix it flashing a bootloader from another site it was dated 24.07.14 is there a recommended version? There is no bootloader for the quad on the regular download site.

24th July is the latest one and will do the job.

All latest ones are on the openvix site

Don't see any GBQuad bootloaders there?
Haven't had a chance to update it to build 025 yet, so still not expecting to do a bootloader update?

Thanks Rossi, is it required for a post 23 build?

 

[Rob van der Does]

Yes, for the SEplus, UEplus, GBQuad and GBQuadplus.

 

[judge]

Which build number Rob?
ViX build 23 running fine here on UEplus & GBQuad without bootloader update.

 

[Rob van der Does]

> 23, build from OE vs 2.3

Official link to a new GB bootloader would be handy so. Also needs to be uploaded on ViX server pretty fast.

I'll upload them.

 

[Rob van der Does]

Done.
Also uploaded new bootloaders for the ET8k & 10k (allowing images up to 200MB to be flashed).

Maybe somebody can announce that? There is no real need to update those bootloaders, but there were quite a lot of reports of failed flashes due to backups that were too big.

Should not have been an issue Rob.. As build 025 requires a full fresh flash.. with no backups allowed..

As long as we have the required bootloaders to flash.
Thankfully 025 is still set as unstable.

Exactly. And it isn't.
