Re: V8 nova do not boot stuck with green light
First try a USB forced recovery.
I did a refresh toll recovery to other day.
My issue was finding the port number that the RS232 USB cable was using.
Here is a link to my notes.
the new comment at the bottom is about the cable / port.

Re: V8 nova do not boot stuck with green light
Here are my notes on forced upgrade.
Also try with the LNB cable disconnected.

flash.bin recovery is done like this.
Place a copy of the unpacked software (the .bin file) on a USB stick and rename it "flash.bin"
With the USB in the unit, power on while repeat pressing "Menu" on the remote.
The unit should reload the software.
Also other users say that you must use a USB stick, not a card holder etc and that stick must be 32Gb or under.
Use the rear USB port on units that have two ports.
I have had units that will not recover.
Try using the same software as was in the unit when it crashed, not the new update software.
You must use the correct software, ie that for the V7HD for the V7HD etc, not software for any other freesat units.
Try even older software as the file for flash.bin.
Look at the LED in the USB stick. When the TV shows the message "USB Upgrade, do not turn off" you should see the LED on the USB flash as the file is loaded.
The USB LED should also flash a few times as the unit first powers on and looks at it.
Also users have said to use the rear USB port for this on V8 units.
Good luck
New information: Users are reporting that naming the file "Flash.bin" with a capital has worked where "flash.bin" has not. This is with the Nova units mostly.
Also try with the LNB cable disconnected.

Re: V8 nova do not boot stuck with green light
Regarding the C++ have a look at this post.
When you try the flash.bin, do you seethe LED on the USB stick flash?
Try another USB stick.

Unfortunately 1gb usb have led i tried no luck
Re: V8 nova do not boot stuck with green light
Check that the file name is just flash.bin not flash.bin.bin
Also some users report the Nova needs a capital F in Flash.bin
After that it may be the RS232 cable thing.

Re: V8 nova do not boot stuck with green light
I tried every possible way but did not work
Only i have a option to get RS232 cable for v8 nova blue
I don't know from where can i get RS232 cable which nova blue has rear one pin port
How to get this
Re: V8 nova do not boot stuck with green light
The RS232 3.5mm pin outs are on the forum here somewhere.
You could adapt a 3.5mm AV cable if you have one, but it will need to be a long plug unit.
Someone made this comment. I always thought that FAT32 was the only way.

Wait online a few minutes and i will look though my notes and the forum to find some info for you.It will be because you have made the mistake of formatting to FAT32, the correct format is NTFS, watch out for upper and lower case which is another problem that does not recognize it

Re: V8 nova do not boot stuck with green light
I found this pic of the inside of the Nova.
Plug point "S1" may be a RS232 connection. I can check if you need that.
Here is a link to the 3.5mm 17mm long plug.
I brought a unitek USB to RS232 cable

Re: V8 nova do not boot stuck with green light
Can we use RS232 cable on windows 10?
Is it need to install driver for windows 10?

Re: V8 nova do not boot stuck with green light
Try plugging in the USB to RS232 to see if it self loads a driver.
If not you will need to look on the net for one.
As your plug is male you will have difficulty connecting to the pins
Also remember the pins shown in the instructions are for the female connection, so reflected.
As for the 3.5mm, it look to be a short plug.
I do not know if you need a long one for the RS232 connection.
Looking at the plugs shown on the link page I sent you, it looks like the one you have is OK.
If you are happy to cut the cable you will need to find what wires are the tip second and base of the 3.5mm plug.
If you have a multi meter use that.
If not a 1.5v AA battery on your tongue through the wire may work.

Re: V8 nova do not boot stuck with green light
I use a "Null Modem" cable to change from the male to female for the D9s connection of the RS232.

Re: V8 nova do not boot stuck with green light
I would think the lower one that says its for freesat is the one.
Just check that it says it comes with a driver.
