[SF4008] Update 5.1.008 CRASHING MY BOX

[twol]

openATV on the German forum report unable to boot with drivers from 24/Dec/17!

So go to 007 (before the drivers update)and then couch flash with ImageManager to 009, its a usb issue that they are seeing...
I believe there will be an update to the boot files

so i just tried again with the above suggestions & still got the stuck in boot mode & i also tried to telnet to the box via filezilla & it would not let me connect even though i was using the correct ip addy so it must be down to that drive issue.

i was under the impression that you cant couch flash an arm box or it will brick it

Brick it, very unlikely. Before I sold it must have couch flashed my SF4008 at least 50 times, without issues, and have always done this with my HD51 and Giga4K for the last year.. so try it. AT worst you will have to usb flash back to 007

So you have a different issue, as the drivers were after 007 and post #1 indicates that mrxbox360 can usb flash it ... or you didn‘t actually manage to usb flash the 007 image.

No, he states that (3 days ago) the online update failed and only 007 was available for usb update (I could see 008 available, but unable to get it working).
So we (op) have the same issue, 007 is the last working update.

Thanks, so not the same config as me - I have dvb-t in slot one (tuner a disabled awaiting action from WoS) and dvb-s in slot 2.

I have no harddrive.

Somewhere in Setup (I no longer have a Sf4008), there is a setting to define pip mode. (Audio/Video?)
Some users are apparently managing to overcome the issue by setting off HDR Pip mode and then reflashing... succcessfully but there appears to be 2 issues based on other forum comments

i have had same issue with my sf4008 on 008 and 009. by turning HDR off, you are able to update the software. you can then switch over to HDR after update

 

[Willo3092]

Mine is set as PIP enabled, no HDR

Mine was set to HDR+ with no PIP, switching to PIP allowed the update to 009. Turning HDR+ back on and rebooting returns to booting...

At least we now have a possible cause

UPDATE - Turning on HDR and booting box causes booting issue.
I too have relashed and same issue.

would you suggest I flash again with no restore?

Thx for confirming, issue must be with latest drivers then https://github.com/oe-alliance/oe-alliance-core/commit/be82891226d0fb84bb2e13b84bc8a818c93a2e50
