wheres the guide for dual boot...?

[ManikM]

ive read it somewhere, that you can put the official f/w on a USB stick, and have E2 installed into DOM\Flash.

is there a guide on how to do it?

cheers!

Install E2 in DOM/flash. Plug USB stick, formatted in EXT3.

Reboot AZ HD at the back, press and hold the > button (front of AZ HD), 'till you have the IP address on VFD.

Start AZUp 2.07 or higher: put the AZ HD IP address, tick USB and EXT3, format extended partition & copy kernel -> press (at the bottom) INSTALL OFFICIAL FW, choose the 2 files for it (say, 5308 OFW) and wait...

Where to get the dual boot OFW? Here:

When it's done and it reboots sometimes it won't work immediately: you need to ignore possible "upgrade" screens and choose "Boot without update"!

What are you looking for? When booting, you need to (eventually) see "sleep=15s".

Then, your OFW will boot and you can update it normally, installing channel list, OpenXCAS, MultiCAS, OSCam, Priority Manager 2.5, GetEPG 2.5, Tech*s*a*t*k*e*ysDownloader and all else, as usual...

Pingflood is developing "Boot OFW" plugin from E2 without rebooting - but in SPAZE Fix it isn't working...

That's gonna be cool. We wait...

Nope...

hi mate,

ive got hold of pingfloods plugin, which does inititate the the boot of the USB stick (containing a USB OFW image on it)

but after i get the black screen with AZBOX in white on the TV screen, on the AZBOX it says:
"Err:NO_DISK" then it scrolls to "Connect AS"

how do i get a decent copy of the OFW onto a USB disk, i tried your method above...but options you said didnt exist...

someone?

[Blagi]

I tried all sorts with it and haven't managed, sadly, so can't advise you...

You tell me if you do manage, please....

Decent copy of OFW does not exist.

The semi-cooked stuff they call OFW is easily installed onto USB, using JAZUp 2.3.

Just untick EXT4 and choose USB, then press Update or whatever is there to programme/flash the FW...

You need these files for it (see attached)... or maybe these for 5309, thanx to Arci:

The YouTube fix is the only changed thing in relation to 5308:


Come si installa:

- Scompattate il file zip in una folder sul PC, il file contiene i due file ... vmlinux & patch.alt ...
- Preparate una Pendrive (min 512 MB) e formattatela in FAT o FAT32;
- Avviato Enigma2 sull'AZbox, inserite la pendrive nella presa USB frontale;
- Ora avviate AZUp 2.1.3, inserite l'IP-Address dell'AZbox e confermate sul tasto GO! (Install Official FW);
- L'AZbox si riavvierà e si predisporrà in Rescue Mode, confermandovi l'IP-Address AZbox;

- Dalla versione Enigma2 RTi_core_v1.0, per predisporre l'AZBox in Rescue Mode è sufficiente premere da telecomando o pannello frontale il tasto VOL+ durante la fase di Booting;

- Su AZUp 2.1.3, avendo controllato che l'IP-Address non sia cambiato (su sistemi DHCP), riconfermiamo sul tasto GO! (Install Official FW);
- Ora vi verrà chiesto di caricare in sequenza (da PC) i due file ... vmlinux & patch.alt ... salvati poco prima;
- Appena confermato, partirà la procedura di installazione del FW Ufficiale su USB;
- Al termine, AZUp 2.1.3 ci avvertirà della conclusione dell'installazione e riavvierà l'AZbox;

Lasciando la Pendrive sulla presa USB (fronte o retro) ... ora si avvierà il firmware ufficiale OpenSat ...

Attenzione, durante la fase di avvio, il VFD vi mostrerà Sleep 15s ... lasciatelo finire, e al termine del loading, vi troverete nel Menu settaggio della distro !

Good luck!

I found the dual boot always caused too many problems when it came to upgrading FW, so don't use it anymore.

If you want to properly boot from a choice of multiple Fimwares buy a real Dreambox. :)

[ManikM]

Nope...

the ofw plugin, is actually included in the latest SPAZE 2.0 image mate....i just need the ofw software image on a stick...

everytime ive tried it, it wipes my E2, GRRR!

[Blagi]

It wiped my USB stick for Flash Expander (the OFW, that is), while trying the OFW Launcher...

Mind, before, when I used OFW in the DOM, it used to wipe out/reprogramme (with EXT3 and various partitions) my entire USB HDD 1TB in NTFS...

Go figure... I am angry at OS and their contractors and partners now...

Hello friends

Last saturday i was making an instalation of ofw just for curiosity and i had the same dead words "Err:NO_DISK" then it scrolls to "Connect AS" so after a few reboots it always deleted my sticks usb formated at fat32.

So i remenbered to flash it with a stick formated only in "fat" and i've reached de desired action? it's a litle bit strsnge because all manuals get me to format it always in fat 32 but i had lucky only formated in Fat.

best regards

mx700

[ManikM]

thanks can u explain how u get the ofw onto the stick...exact steps, thanks!

[Blagi]

The same as E2. Except > USB. And 2 files to choose, not 1.

Read above... Use online translator. Easy!

[ManikM]

its not easy.

i have E2 installed into DOM, then when i put a USB stick in it, and go into recovery mode - and then choose from AZUP to INSTALL Original FW - it moans about an unknown kernel, and thats it.

no option to choose a file(s)

[Blagi]

Heh, serves you right.... Who mentioned AZUp? :D

Seriously, keep trying...

It took me a few times but eventually...

Good luck!
