OCTAGON SF8008 and skyq

[Stevebox]

found the instructions How to flash an Octagon SF8008

 

[Ferret.]

Which file do I download fron SF8008

Use the MMC version to flash via USB

 

[Stevebox]

USB flash latest Vix and then follow the build instructions again.

Which file do I download fron SF800

Not familiar with Wilobuild i build my own options into base images, but pablo always states this is a skin selection issue.

Is it the recovery file at the very top of he list I download?

 

[soltia]

put the usb in the port on the right hand side , i used the mmc file not the emmc one

You dont need the recovery version just the MMC version.

I can’t flash it again with putty as it’s not booting completely,so has no iP address…

The ip address doesn't change, use the one that putty remembers, or whichever programme you used

So you’re saying even after reflashing via usb.
I can then log back in via putty with the same ip as before?

Oh yes, the ip address doesn't change no matter how many times you flash it or what image you flash

Are these boxes stable?
As I have had multiple crashes and restarts.

Thinking of changing this box back to free view box recordable…

 

[Ferret.]

Post the full crashlog mate.

What had you tweaked installed etc before the crash ?

Have you installed a new skin recently?

It's not always easy to read the logs but sometimes it just gives a little hint. I've done it loads of times and put my boxes into boot loops. A reflash usually sorts the problem.
