Mag351 fix..

[Kielbear]

My mag was blocked on one portal and on the other loaded only the media player or came up with a black and white image.. this imageupdate cleared all of that so my box is back to normal..

When you paste and copy in your browser it should start the download..

When the download is finished you will have to edit the download name to just

imageupdate


This can then be copied into your usb stick (should be formatted in FAT32) file named mag351 all lower case.

I did it like this.. reset box.. removed ethernet cable.. switched off.. usb stick in back of box usb port.. pressed menue button (button with 3 dots and 3 lines) keep pressed and switched box on.. keep pressing until the recovery menu is onscreen.. scroll down to ... upgrade tools... press ok.. upgrade software.. press ok .. using usb.. click ok

the box will then begin to install the software..

when complete then go into settings and check that aotomatic updates is disabled .. beta version also off..

i then reboot the box with the ethernet cable in and it booted normally and started our iptv.

I´ve tried this and it works for me.. try this at your own risk..

@Kielbear, i´ve had the same problems with my mag 351,but this problems appear even with disabled autoupdate,the image on the mag 351 was factory image,never updated.

 

[Mandaue]

After that,i enabled autoupdate to see what happen...whorse thing happen...the menue item to enter the Portal ulr disappear,after that i returned the Mag 351 to Amazonas

 

[Kielbear]

In your case i would have tried the following..

I did it like this.. to reset box and install new software... remove power plug.. remove ethernet cable.. usb stick in back of box usb port.. press menue button (button with 3 dots and 3 lines) keep pressed and plug the box in.. keep pressing until the recovery menu is onscreen.. scroll down to ... upgrade tools... press ok.. upgrade software.. press ok .. using usb.. click ok

Make sure you have factory image 0

When you paste the downöoad bellow and copy in your browser it should start the download..

When the download is finished you will have to change the download name to just (when downloaded the file will read something like imageupdate_mag256.. ) change /edit to just

imageupdate

This can then be copied into your usb stick (should be formatted in FAT32) file named mag351 all lower case.

the box will then begin to install the software..

Ethernet cable should still be out!! when complete then go into settings and check that automatic updates is disabled .. beta version also off..

i then reboot the box with the ethernet cable in and it booted normally and started our iptv.


copy and paste into browser download starts automatic...

I cannot download either the 351 or the 256 link - they both just come up as a machine code file which never fully downloads

 

[Kielbear]

I`ll Check the link..

link was wrong .. now corrected.. sorry

 

[gando]

Sorry Kielbear but download is exactly the same for me

In my case just change it to NAND 2 solve the issue, this on a mag351 didn't install any downgrade update

In all my client's cases, I have deleted the configuration and restarted the device and configured everything again. and it worked as usual.

Have you tried that with 256 also?

 

[Kielbear]

Some of my clients have used the 256 fix.. Everything ok

I have sort of an workaround but it's not 100%

I downloaded the image i needed from the following link -> http://soft.infomir.com/
I put it on a FAT32 formated USB and inserted in rear USB connector. Hold menu on remote and booted device.
It's important to put the image in a folder that's named the same as the box you have. In my case i have an 351 so i created a folder called mag351 and put the image in it. (letters must NOT be upper case)
Flashed new image with LAN cable disconnected. Booted up STB went to settings and disabled autoupdate function.
Made all the settings for portal etc..

All channels seems to be working. But VOD don't seem to work.

I recommend using original image and trying to write the portal address in portal url 2. It should work.

I haven't found a way to re flash the stock/original frimware. I just get signature error

Have you tried to flash it in BIOS?

 

[affeaffo]

Have you tried to flash it in BIOS?

Yes. Booting up holding menu button on remote. I get signature error/invalid

I have tried this on my second mag351 box and it doesn't work

The VOD content is now working even with the firmware i linked to.
