V8 Golden Update isnt Possible

Post by isso.de »

hi,

i have a V8 Golden Box.

And i cant update tot he latest Version.
The Box only gives out "File isn´t match for this Box"

My Software is V4.0.85.345

I still made a factory reset but always the same message.

Can somone help here?

The biggest Problem is that the Box freezes, that is why i want to update.

You must unpack the file from the .rar or .zip folder and use the .bin file inside.

You could try using the PC Update Tool, it might not work either but it's worth a try,
there are 2 threads here about it,

Other users have reported that the USB will not work if it is bigger than 32Gb and also will not work if it is a card reader.

Try downloading the file again and or try an older version as well.

What software version do you have in the Golden now?

I tried to downgrade my Nova yesterday, it bricked.
I tried the flash.bin method using the same lower software, this failed.
I then flash.bin recovered it using the same software that was in it when I tried to downgrade, this worked.

Could be the same thing for you.

Does this box support JTAG method? Maybe he need to update old software to each bin. progressive...and finish buy the new one.

Did you solve your problem? If old firmware works well there is no point to update it all the time. Try to use 1 or 2 clines, will be good enough to avoid freezes...least it works fine for me on this way
