Time for me to come in on this as the aforementoned friend!
When I raised the opena.tv crash they suggested upgrading OpenATV to the current stable version 6.4.
I believe everyone is going to 4k images but I have no such TV myself. In that context, I'm unsure if GrogBuild is parked now or will be upgraded to use 6.4?
I can roll up the sleeves and try and upgrade the grogbuild to openATV 6.4 but I would prefer not to go down a blind alley! Has anyone done it successfully?
Any advice is much appreciated!!

Openatv has moved to OpenATV 7.1 Python 3.10.2 now but still beta so probably more work needed
I like to make an entrance, and once I turn up to the party everyone knows I'm there
If the Grogbuild being used is over 2 years old then it's time to reflash. It's probably using an older/out dated ATV, Grogbuild does use ATV 6.4
And ATV is now working on 7.1 with a later version of Python. So they did 6.5, then 7 and never released either as stable, now 7.1. It could be a long wait before we get a new stable release
Be next Christmas for grogbuild then.Openatv has moved to OpenATV 7.1 Python 3.10.2 now but still beta so probably more work needed
Vix is firing on all cylinders on python 3 come on over Mr grog willo has time on his hands now he has retired. Poor chap is painting the house 🏠 these days.I like to make an entrance, and once I turn up to the party everyone knows I'm there

Super news, many thanks for letting me know Grogbuild now uses 6.4! And is very much alive!!
I installed GrogBuild in January 2020.
Before making enquries I was reading the sticky post with last post from 2019, grogbuild-freerange-for-all-enigma2-boxes, and there was no info that it was updated.
Then I found your website which has latest download from 2018.
But I am just after understanding now that a reflash will download the latest stable ATV which is 6.4
I can follow your detailed step by step instructions on GrogBuild - Grogbuild FreeRange for all enigma2 boxes as before, but I am just wondering is there any installation setting that will mean the questions are skipped and the current setting is used? Thanks for your patience!
And another noob question... do people typically rerun
Code:
wget -O ~/fla.sh http://flashmybox4.me && bash fla.sh

Grogbuild setup flashes your box with the latest version of ATV for your box, (capped at 6.4 for now), and installs the latest version of the plugins that make up the build. The skins are not updated though, as they work as is.

Thanks a mill!. I have done a backup of settings via the setup menu and took pictures of the screens afterwards - it zeems to maybe tar up all important files and directories. Backup is done but no location is given, I want to be able to restore after reimaging and not have to set up everything again.
This is a totally noob question but I have not been able to find the answer online or by searching myself:
Code:
formuler1 login: root
Last login: Tue Mar 1 12:05:10 GMT 2022 from ::1 on pts/0
root@formuler1:~# find . -name '*tar'
root@formuler1:~# find . -name '*tgz'
root@formuler1:~# ls -ld -- **/*tar*
ls: **/*tar*: No such file or directory
root@formuler1:~# ls -ld -- **/*tgz*
ls: **/*tgz*: No such file or directory
root@formuler1:~# ls -ld -- **/*tgz
ls: **/*tgz: No such file or directory

Fantastic, I checked my USB stick via file commander and there was the directory!
Mainly, I was thinking of all the channels tuned in, 2 tuners from satellite and 1 from aerial in attic for terrestrial free to air, I don't want to have to reset them up!
After the upgrade I was assuming it would just work like before once I restore! I have not done customisations on bouquets/favourites so I don't mind about them.

take a note of the transmitter being used for freeview and sat region, you will then be asked to set these during grogbuild setup. the box will then download the channel list for the select region when it starts up.
no need to back up/restore if you don't have any extra's/customisations

I'm going to try this now on a dodgy H7S but Willo his box is a Formuler , why would it show sf8008? Just curious.
Ok I tried just now and it failed at the very end .. and went back to old image. The error message is " Error under rootfs. System won't boot! Please flash back up" This happened when I used image selector in Vix as well. I did get it to flash to 4 partitons but box always freezes and wont boot etc. I used slot 1 for this attempt. Is the box bricked or is there a way of fixing the rootfs? I might try a few more partitions. Its raining here.
