[ET8500] Update error help needed

[Tonystark7]

Openvix 4.2.026 will fix all issues discussed on Edison mini and Xtrend 8500

Xtrend and a few other boxes had a problem with using the Software Update feature updating to 4.2.22 and 4.2.23 if I remember correctly.

You entered that you were on 4.2 but not the release number (press Menu/Information/about and read the line which says Image: 4.2.xxx (Release))

Suggest that you make a settings backup (Menu/Setup/ViX/Backup Manager then Green button (New Backup) first of all, then do a 'couch flash':

1. Menu/Setup/ViX/Image Manager then Yellow button (Downloads), select 4.2.23 and then Green button then OK to 'yes' in the following pop-up.

2. When the download has completed, press Exit once to return to Image Manager, select 4.2.23 and then Blue button (Restore) then OK to 'yes' prompt.

3. The box will prepare and then the flashing tool will appear. It will take a good few minutes before the box reboots and the Initial Wizard starts.

4. The Wizard will help you get the basic setup, then ask if want to restore settings - select 'yes' and then select the settings backup you made earlier. After a short while, you will then be asked if you want to restore Enigma2 settings (yes) followed by Plugins (yes).

5. Go make a cup of tea!

6. All things being equal, the box will eventually reboot and you will be up and running again!

If you are totally new to all of this, it can seem a bit daunting, but further help will always be available here. If you do have problems, try to be as specific as you can as to what you have done and make a note of any error messages.

Good luck!

I have been trying to update xtrend et8500, I have followed this guide, when the flashing tool came up I got a message saying "error E2 can't be stopped! Abort flashing." Now this is stuck on screen and nothing is happening. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

You obviously had something running... blue button should show such active tasks.
So reboot and check to see ifanything is running like software update check, abm etc
Then try ImageManger again
