if you can provide proof then by all means do, however no one has yet managed to do this. by all means if people wish to upgrade their bootloader go ahead but they will not be able to use the current ViX 2.2.100 image they will have to wait for ViX 2.3.

Well... actually I have already update bootloader and afterwards I have loaded ViX 2.2.1 and Egami 1.2 by simply renaming the folder and deleting the boot.bin file.

Well please provide a Youtube video proving this.

I'd like to see you flashing a latest image that uses the latest bootloader and see you flashing ViX 2.2.1.

ViX 2.2.100 is not compatible with latest bootloader. Now either provide solid video proof or stop posting mis-leading nonsense that could render someones receiver useless!

I challange anyone with a ET receiver to prove me wrong. If I'm proved wrong I will sincerely apologise and send a gift to whoever proves me wrong!
 
Challenge accepted! Although I don't like to waste my time by answering in similar fascistic questions ("provide solid video proof or stop posting mis-leading nonsense") as we try to share our experience and not to convince anybody to do something against his will, I accept the challenge because you seem a reliable person (more than 9000 posts, more than 8000 thanks) and you WILL keep your promise to send me a gift! I have already installed the latest bootloader from here http://www.et-view.com/main.php?no=159&category=2&board=ET5000 (that was a month before). Then I installed the latest CT image from here http://www.clarke-xtrend-support.co...ed-Clarke-Xtrend-Support-Image-V3-for-et-5000 (of course I have also tested the last beta PLi images). A few minutes ago, I installed the ViX image from here http://www.world-of-satellite.com/s...eTech-Xtrend-ET5000-Image-v2.2.100-21-07-2011, of course by renaming the folder in et5x00 and deleting the file boot.bin. Piece of cake! I'm ready to send you the video with the ViX image. (But, just to be honest, how can I prove to you that the new booloader is installed?)

To prove the new bootloader was installed you will need to have a video of both ViX 2.2.100 and a upto date image that uses the new bootloader named et5x00, may video flashing the latest openpli build.
 
DrSpiro Video will need to be continouse and first box needs to run 9X00 image and next 9000 image, will need to see VFD at boot up.
 
:o:o:o in that case substitute the 9 to a 5:)

Are you serious? Continuous video? Every flashing is taking about ten minutes, you want a 20 minutes video? What do you think, that I am a film director or am I being judged here and I need to prove my innocence? I'll send two videos, the first one with the last image and another with the old one. I don't care if you believe it or not. I'm not earning anything, I just want to let you know that what I'm saying is possible.

Well thats the only way to prove it. Even Xtrend dev's have told us older images are incompatible and we have tried too. Anyways upto you m8ty.
 
What are you talking about? First, I haven't spoken about et9000 but about et5000, second the receiver is not connected to a TV but to a projector. After all, I don't care what you think, I've done what I've been asked for and that's all, if you don't agree, don't take the risk! But stop bullshit!:mad:

P.S. I have only tried to help the guy with the dead receiver, I never told to anybody with a working receiver to do anything! I don't know how I was trapped to explain these procedures to you people, but I really don't care if you want to update or not. After all, I think upgrading is not really necessary if your receiver is OK. It's your business, it's totally indifferent to me!

rite this thread is slowly but surely going no where, so i am going to ask that people calm down otherwise i am going to lock and dump the whole thread.
 
Well I've tried again on a ET9000, same thing, old image does not flash correctly and receiver stops booting until a new correct image is flashed. I'm look at your video again later.
 
I repeat for another time that my receiver is an et5000 model, not an et9000 one. May be this is an important difference.
 
Well... actually I have already update bootloader and afterwards I have loaded ViX 2.2.1 and Egami 1.2 by simply renaming the folder and deleting the boot.bin file.

I've tried this on my ET5000 and it realy works. Just rename the folder in to ET5x00 and delete the boot.bin file. Start the tuner. Press first the middle button and press then the up button. :thumbsup:
