The H9 models dont have enough memory you can use openmultiboot though

There is a move to sd card function.

I have extended the memory to 8G so I have plenty, it would be great if mulib00t is added to the H9.2s receivers.

Its kind of possible using the SDcard - but only with a GPT partition structure.
Unfortunately although I have tested with a updated version of ofgwrite (the tool that flashes the partitions) and it works, the limitation is that the code would require all similar receivers to support GPT and the SF8008 receiver bootloader doesn‘t.
So it may happen but don‘t expect it soon!

At the moment, if the SD card is in use then ImageManager will flash the SDcard with a new image, but there are limitations in no kernel change

Can't you just use openmultiboot plugin on SD card or does openmultiboot only use media/hdd?

 

[twol]

Probably ......but I don‘t like the plugin, prefer to do it directly in ViX!

 

[Tunder]

unfortunalety the openmultiboot in not under the VIX image plugins, therefore we can't try it and se how it works.

Under extensions in download plugin

 

[Tunder]

There is no openmultiboot under extensions in download plugin on the VIX image on my Zgemma H9.2S, I seen it on the OpenATV and the OpenDroit images.

 

[abu baniaz]

What menus are you checking?

I am doing:
Menu > Plugins > Green (download) > Extensions > openmultiboot

If it is already installed, you will be able to see it in teh opposite method
Menu > Plugins > Red (Remove) > Extensions > openmultiboot

This is on a different receiver. If you can confirm menus you are using, then we can look further into it.

Hello Abu
Here are some pictures:

[twol]

He is correct its not there in downloads for H9, probably because there is no Machine Feature specified for OMB in the h9.conf.
Whether it would work with the HiSilicon architecture is open to question.

So not sure why there are 2 ipk's .. but these were generated by a modded h9 build this afternoon.

 

[Tunder]

Hello twol
Thanks for the files, I send the files to the TEMP folder and try to install it using the IPK installer and was nor able to install them, here are some pictures of the errors:
I am not sure if there is another method of installing these files, if there is let me know I will give it another shot.
Regards.

[abu baniaz]

I am pretty sure he has built them off 6.3 branch, we are using 6.2 branch.

 

[twol]

Yep Abu, correct .. but i think the main problem is the nandsim error and will have to double check - but probably why it will not work.

 

[Tunder]

Thanks twol, let us know if is doable.
Regards.
