[GiGaBlue QUAD+ PLUS] Boot loop

[abu baniaz]

I have updated the file in post 37.

Andy said that there was an issue where they do not support some modes. Looks like the issue which affected some models, now affects more of their models. As you know Andy is not happy about adding workarounds, he'd rather that the problems were addressed where they lie, at driver level. No point adding a mode to drivers if you don't support it.

The file in post 37 deals with all Gigablues instead of the individually listed ones. The irony is that adding the "workaround" means that the manufacturer may not have to adjust the drivers. There was a subsequent crash reported by the previous poster, that needs checking too.

@abu - that's the bit I don't understand - "do not support some modes" The GB Quad+ supports 480i/p, 576i/p, 720p, 1080i/p at the "usual" TV frame rates of 50Hz and 60Hz. I don't recall ever trying to playback 24fps material with it, but wouldn't really expect it to.

As regards the .py "fix", how will I know if it is working? I've had 4.2.030 installed for almost two weeks now and have not had a problem manifest itself until today. I hadn't changed anything in my AV settings either, so I don't know what triggered the problem today.

Sorry, I don't know the specifics.

Are you using your own build or official build?

 

[Joe_90]

I'm using Release 4.2.030 official.

is anyone else experiencing problems with the WiFi with this 4.2.030 official release too? Not having any loop problems but my Gigablue Quad+ can't connect to WiFi and most of the times struggles to even find the list of wireless networks. Updated it with a fresh usb flash.

Then when i downgraded to older release it works fine but can't use the plugins download section. I guess this is a problem since the kernels were updated?

Thanks

The kernel upgrade on the et10k has rendered my rtl8192cu wifi pretty much useless, I'm stuck on 4.2.026, with, as you say, no more plugin access.

It also knocked my Sundtek usb tuner for six as well.

HI,

Just updated to 5.0.001 and had bootloop on regular Quad. This file/process fixed it(using space between sleep and 10(corrected in quote below)) Thanks.

Can someone with a Gigablue affected by this issue try this file please?


Issue "init 4" command, this will stop enigma2.

Download the attachment,
unzip it

Transfer Avswitch.py to
/usr/lib/enigma2/python/Components

On restart it will decompile and overwrite the pyo

You can restart with following command

init 4 && sleep 10 && init 3

If it boots fine, please delete the .py you transferred. Please confirm if problem is fixed with attached file so that we can add amendments to the files used to make images. Thanks

Hello' I found this thread and it seems to be useful for my problem. I was watching a channel Gigablue Quad was working fine, then suddenly it shut down and started to boot loop.
Then I downloaded last Openvix image .25 from the website and after I flashed the image I cannot even start the regular setup or restore because the decoder is still rebooting continuously.
I wonder if it some hardware issue or I may try something else. In this condition I cannot telnet to the decoder at the moment.

If you have a PC then connect to your router and find out what address the receiver is using (its obviously at the point where it has not setup the normal internet IP)
Then telnet into the box with this IP
Init 4
Enigma2
Paste the log here

Hello' twol, many thanks for the reply.
I tried flashing only the bootloader and it has started normally, then I could restore the settings and it's working for now.
I will monitor the situation. I hope it's not a sign of bad memory condition or some hardware starting to suffer it's age.....
I will report in case of news.

can you try the following please?

EDIT:
Attachment removed owing to error. Corrected one below.

Just for your info, I had to do this in the past, not sure I had to do it last time when I went to 5.0.017 or the time before.

But I also had to do it today when I went from 5.0.017 to 5.0.032 (USB Flash), was stuck in the same boot loop until I did.

GBQuad (NOT Plus version).

All working fine now.
