As soon as you see anything on screen release the shorting of the pins NOTES: 1.Don't use USB disk,only can use SD/TF card. 2.Don't unplug the power in all process until the upgrade is complete.

Helix Builds - AuXBoX - 2015-03-12 Just put them all on there, won't hurt RE: [HOW TO] XBMC Linux on Geniatech Devices incl.

See if your TV has a Coax out, you can connect the HDMI to the TV and then tv coxial to the receiver. They do sell SPDIF Coaxial converters. RE: [HOW TO] XBMC Linux on Geniatech Devices incl. Helix Builds - joshua99 - 2015-03-12 @ AuXBoX, Tried about 6 or 7 times this afternoon different sd cards etc but no change at all followed what you sent to the letter but nothing at all changes, not a glimmer, the red light comes on & that's it, no flashing on the tv, no smoke pouring from the box, just a funny sort of whimpering sound coming from me as I continue to pull what hair I have left out.?? cheers.

Hi Auxbox. Well I have one now on its way from China via EMS so should be with me very shortly. So I would be very grateful for that link to the Linux compile I will need. As you say it will need this different compile to the ATV1200 boxes. Look forward to testing this CMX dual core box out thoroughly as certainly is a good price and especially if it works as good as you say too, which coming from you my friend I am sure it will :-) Thanks for your help as always. RE: [HOW TO] XBMC Linux on Geniatech Devices incl. Helix Builds - momo - 2015-03-14 AuXBoX, could you build please a Kodi linux built for geniatech atv120 stick or it's too complicated? The official Geniatech xbmc 12.3 linux is here: http://www.geniatech.com/down-eng/Androidtvbox/MX_DONGLE-Linux_XBMC20140102.zip RE: [HOW TO] XBMC Linux on Geniatech Devices incl. Helix Builds - joshua99 - 2015-03-15 Hello once more, I would like to thank AuXBoX & Raymw first of all for the help they have given me, although unsuccessful your time is much appreciated. I would assume now that this poor little box is now deceased & has to be returned to silicon valley from whence it came Amen. As stated earlier I've tried several times with the link from AuXBoX & nothing at all happens & today I tried a few times with the link from Raymw & again nothing happens. The only thing I noticed was with the Raymw file when unzipped it only shows " 1 update M6" file & in the read me text there are 2 showing so I assume it was just a typo. I would be very grateful if you could confirm that there is nothing else I can do to restore the box to its former glory before I say a little prayer for it. again tanks a lot. Josh.

Then i wanted to test other firmwares and downgrade my box to this version (http://www.geniatech.com/news/mx-atv...nstruction.asp). I installed this SPI (http://www.geniatech.com/down-eng/an...0120917SPI.zip), box rebooted and thats it... i only had a red light and no chance to get into recovery. these instructions worked for me when a I bricked my atv520e a while back |
