BUG - GT MEDIA V8 PRO2 booting issue after change setup on MENU

Post by pwlps »

Hello There

I find something that looks to be a BUG on GT MEDIA V8 PRO2, If we go to MENU and looks for others settings:

There is some options there, we can choose from there to not have time on display on standby mode.

There is a options there that we can choose APPLICATION MODE or STANDBY MODE

If you choose STANDBY MODE and save. When your media goes to standby or you tried to restart it, it will never RESTART, it tries to restart but goes to standby mode AGAIN and AGAIN.

How can I factory reset this media using USB on boot or maybe via cable rs232.

Many thanks

Do a flash.bin recovery.

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. You must use the V7 remote on the V7.
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

I hope Owen's instructions will help you get it up and running again. Why did you select "Standby Mode" to begin with? I'm curious. Honestly, I'm not trying to give you a hard time here. Was it by mistake? Do you know you can press the Red button on the very top right corner of the remote to put the receiver in standby mode?

I'm curious as to why this option is even there? What is it supposed to do?

Good luck my friend,
BWE :D
