Cable Zgemma H7C Stuck on Boot

[deejayh]

Hi all,

I had a notification to upgrade, after restarting the box, it was on, but couldn't get a menu up. rebooted half a dozen times - without success!

So as I had some other images on, I went to reboot into another image - but i had no menu.

So I had a stupid brain fart - I would change the boot startup folder to say OpenATV. So I edited the startup file -Copied START_1 to START
boot emmcflash0.linuxkernel2 'brcm_cma=440M@328M brcm_cma=192M@768M root=/dev/mmcblk0p8 rootsubdir=linuxro otfs2 kernel=/dev/mmcblk0p4 rw rootwait h7_4.boxmode=1'
I then rebooted and NOTHING. All it was showing was BOOT
So I got a USB out and copied the zgemma folder onto the USB - Held in pushbutton - BOOT - that was all!! Arrhhhhhh!!
Tried 3 more different USB - all the same - NOTHING
Tried reformatting USBs with windows then Partition Wizard - NOTHING!
Tried OpenATV, Vix, Pure2 - NOTHING WORKS!!!! ARRRRRHHHHH!!

Been at this for over a week!

Can anyone help and advise please
Thanks

The simplicity of only using or needing 1 working image 😍 ,Or like a BMW driver with all its electrical issues.

Thanks for the offers of help guys👍

I seem to have sorted it by trial.
Everything I did failed!
I ran into a web page about changing the disk to only 2 seperate discs instead of 4.
put onto USB and it started strait away - BOOOOOOMMMM
Then flashed another image - Great!👍😆😆
