V8 Pro 2 em loop Infinito

Post by EbsonSAT »

Tenho GTmedia V8 Pro 2 em loop infinito de inicialização, já tentei fazer recuvery via USB e não resolveu o problema.


GT Media please note.
This V8 Pro2 unit would boot and show the menu and then crash and re boot.
This was solved by removing the internal wifi board.

Unplug coax cable, HDMI and Wifi antenna if available. try again the USB recovery process using an older file

Did you try using older files?? Once it does the recovery unplug from power. Plug the HDMI and see if you get video? Do not plug antenna coax.

You do not mentioned if the coax is unplug? Finally, unplug for power, coax and HDMI, put it away for a day, try the next day

Here are my notes on flash.bin recovery.

There are two versions of the software on the download page, try both and I have attached another older one too.
V8Pro2_release_20200911.zip
(5.51 MiB) Downloaded 8 times
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

Estou fazendo procedimento sem cabo coaxial conectado, fiz o teste até desconectado o cabo HDMI, mais ainda não resolveu.

As it boots and then shows a normal screen for a moment, maybe with a channel number in the display, repeat press the up or down button as this will change channel before it crashes on the channel it has.
Try also the menu button as it finishes loading, not as you power it on as that would start the usb flash.bin process.

There is a second when it shows the SCREEN after the completed boot. Have you tried to hit the Menu boton several times at that point? have you tried to remove the cover and see if its boot without it??

I added a screen shot of the moment when the menu is seen from your video.

Have you tried another power supply?
GT Media unit are supplied with 1.5A supplies, try a 2A or another 1.5 as it may be power surge as the system turns on.

Also was this video taken with the LNB cable disconnected?
A LNB short will over load the system as it starts and crash the power supply voltages.

Also if you can try booting it with the HDMI cable disconnected. Use a AV cable if you have one.

In the video I made I tried to change the channel or by pressing menu.
