OpenVix 5.1.012: software update

[Andy_Hazza]

So, I hope you don’t mind me asking, but in the menu, you can navigate to Setup > Software Update. What is this part for?

Thank you.....

That is your option to manually update the ViX image. But if you are updating from e.g. 5.0.032 to 5.1.013, this isn’t allowed. Regards.

Is that more for automatic patch updates, rather than step or stage updates?

 

[Andy_Hazza]

Its just Software Updates. Can include new drivers, bug fixes etc. Just like an iPhone Software Updates.

All users please note that due to a small bug in release 5.1.012 users must upgrade using one of the following methods:

Method 1) Recommend way, open a telnet session to your receiver and enter this command:

init 4 && opkg update && opkg upgrade && init 6

Method 2) FTP the attached update.pyo to /usr/lib/enigma2/python > Restart GUI > Online update as normal via the GUI, answer yes to the warning question.

Method 3) Couch flash your receiver via GUI. You will need to have a storage device connected to your receiver, USB or HDD. Blue button > ViX > Image Manager > Press Yellow to download release 5.1.013 or above > Once download press red button to close image selection download screen > Highlight the image you've just downloaded > Press Blue button to flash. Backup of settings is automatically done before the flash commences ready for restore after the flash.

Method 4) USB flash as normal. Backup your settings first to a storage device. Blue button > ViX > Backup Manager. You'll then be able to restore your settings after the USB flash. Receiver USB flashing guides can be found HERE.

Method 1 worked a treat for me on my boxes.

Method #2 worked seamlessly DUO2 (experimental unit) way over here in remote inland Australia.

Main Home Theatre DUO2 next.

Impressive engineering.

Thanks for the detailed instructions. On my Vu+ Solo2 method 1 was still on 5.1.012 after the telent command had run & the box restarted. Went onto method 2 & all seems good. Now showing 5.1.013 in information.

:thumbsup:

Do these instructions still apply when updating from 5.1.012 to 5.1.014 ?

Yes. The bug is in 5.1 012.

If not in 5.1 012, lower or higher, you are not affected.

Can I use image manager to couch flash my mutant hd1500 from 5.0.023 to 5.1.002?

I understand that 5.1.002 is not the latest version.

You can flash whichever image you want.

hi i want to update vix , so to reflash the box how do i save the settings and plugins so i don't have to keep setting the box ?
when i click on vix - image manager - new backup ...... this is only giving me the option to do a full image back up

iv got gigablue HD quad plus

please can anyone help ??

 

[abu baniaz]

Image Manager does images
Backup Manager does settings/plugins.

Note:
We don't advertise it too much, but when you flash using image manager, it also starts Backup Manager to create a settings backup. This is default option that can be changed. I can't remember when we added this.
