If you follow the Grogbuild setup guide it will flash openatv 6.4 to the box and add Grogbuild enhancementsforgive me if it's shown earlier in this thread but recently purchased zgemma h82h enigma box - comes with homebuild pli - trying to flash to openatv - previously flashed on a zgemma h2s without any problems - followed instructions and extracted zip file to usb stick then powered on and press power button on the remote - it won't let me flash - even within pli says no updates available. Network setup fine - is there a way of flashing openatv through putty or another method.
looked at the Grogbuild setup guide - problem I have is the usb is mounted as media/usb not media/hdd - so it won't let me flash - wget --no-check-certificate -O fla.sh http://flashmybox4.me && bash fla.shIf you follow the Grogbuild setup guide it will flash openatv 6.4 to the box and add Grogbuild enhancements
go to mount manager and change the mount to /media/hddlooked at the Grogbuild setup guide - problem I have is the usb is mounted as media/usb not media/hdd - so it won't let me flash - wget --no-check-certificate -O fla.sh http://flashmybox4.me && bash fla.sh
if not showing in mount manager at all then that would suggest the stick can't see it.
If you click on file list, how much free space does it say you have, if it's something silly like 64kb then it's looking at the internal space and not your usb stick
Thanks for all the replies so far - I bought this device second hand - I've used Zgemma H2s before and that was easy to flash but the H82H more difficultYou can't use grogs script to flash if on OpenPLi. You will have to flash OpenATV first.
Which version of OpenPLi do you have. Version and date please. You can find details in Menu, Information, About.
The way storage devices are mounted is different across the images. OpenVix/OpenATV will mount a USB device as hdd if it is the only device. OpenPLi mounts it as USB or the device name. Grog's script uses boxbraning to download the image and then flash it, PLI do not have boxbranding, so it won't work. Grog's script checks for /media/hdd in linux file system to do the unzipping then flashing.
Please forget the mounting/initialisation for now. If you are in autopilot you are not going to progress. The way some terms are misused or mean different things in different context does not make things easier
Do the following:
Flash OpenATV 6.4 by USB.
Or
if your box has a recovery mode, you can flash from there.
Or
Use Dimitrij's automtic full backup plugin to flash the image

Once you are on OpenATV 6.4, then go forward with the grogbuild customisation process
Try a different usb, some are not recognised by the box, just format it with FAT32 and put the unzipped image on it and then into the boxthanks but it won't allow me to flash by usb - I've put image on usb, turned on device and pressed power/menu buttons but it will not flash - reason why I was hoping to flash through putty. How is Dimitrij automatic backup work - I guess still through usb which seems to be the problem.
I find genuine SanDisk 16 GB or less are bomb proof for flashing zgemma boxes.thanks but it won't allow me to flash by usb - I've put image on usb, turned on device and pressed power/menu buttons but it will not flash - reason why I was hoping to flash through putty.

transferred the image and flashed it - says done but is there a way of finding if it's installed the image or not.With Dimitrij plugin, you unzip the image, Transfer it to storage device and then select it to flash.
His plugin only works on devices supported by OpenPLi.
Please reboot box, then issue this command using putty/terminal and post back result.
