box wont boot help if poss

[Noste500]

i was trying to load / set up a apk , it went in ok and i installed it ok. but then crashed . so i removed it by ftpi and my box wont boot up.
i tried to re-flash , but it wont flash ( fat 32 format and new image from the vix page )

it may be the usb isnt the correct one to use so i may have to buy another to use....

screen just has open vix and WOS i top left corner ( no spinning circle )

i can get into box with filezilla and looks like a few things missing from the "tmp" folder. i only notice this folder as it was the one i was ftp'ing to.

can i flash image via ftp? or re-set by ftp ?

i do have my old back up i ca try to flash .. but hought it would be bettter to go with the newer one , as it has been ages since i updated the image.

thanks i advance.

just a thought if you entered your ip on browser on pc do you get into box?

you can also couch flash as no usb is needed

Filezilla works ok, couch flash is a non starter as the box won't boot.

OP: /tmp doesn't usually have anything in there of any importance.

What were you trying to install??

Reflashing is you best bet, it's just a matter of finding a stick which works, and following the exact instructions in the flashing guide for your box.

The actual image you use isn't that important at this stage.

No , won’t open mate . Tried 2 pc’s.

You will need to fresh install ViX image with a usb flash drive.

so back to a working 8gb usb like kingston,cruzer or integral all work for me.

all other usb removed first while powered off.

Sorted it . Needed to fat 32 and low level format the 32 gb stick .
Thanks guys , it’s now reflashed .

If I reflash my old back up , will I still need to go through set - up??

i would say dont use settings restore as old images and other stuff maybe not .

bloody hell 32gb thats big.

If you've got an image backup, you can simply reflash it (even using couch flash), and you'll not need to setup anything.

(Apart, obviously, from anything you may have changed since taking the image backup.)

If you've only got a settings backup, what ViX release was it taken on?
