Optibox Anaconda Question Thread

[ViP3R]

Hi delboy, I'm not exactly sure what that error indicates, EB may know.

What you could try is to force load the file again, use a good quality stick such as the Kingston, they seem to prefer these.
Start with a fresh file and transfer to the USB stick, Turn off the Anaconda from the rear switch and insert the Stick..then while holding the UP button on the front display turn on the rear switch, keep holding in the UP button until the front display starts counting then release.

If all goes well it will count till you see END on the front display, at this point turn off the Anaconda from the rear switch and remove the stick and turn on again from the rear. Give that a try and see how that goes.

I think your error points to the firmware id and the bootloader id not being the same. Did you make any changes to the bootloader? Did you install the correct firmware for the receiver?

Try this:
Load the unzipped 2.10.29 firmware onto a clean fat 32 usb stick
Turn the receiver OFF using the rocker switch on the back
Insert the stick into the receiver and hold the UP button on the front of the receiver and turn the rocker switch ON. This should make the receiver scan the usb stick and load the firmware file.

Many thanks ViP3R & el bandido

I did the procedure you wrote and it worked with the latest firmware. This is probably the best and the most skilled forum for satellite. ciao

Do you lose your settings and channels when you upgrade firmware.

Not if you save them in the menu.

Do you lose your settings and channels when you upgrade firmware.

There is a folder in the receiver's firmware named var. This folder contains all of your settings and channel information. The var folder is not normally written to during a firmware upgrade, but the receiver may factory default after an upgrade if there is an error.
It is always a good idea to back up your system information and save your settings to the receiver before doing an upgrade.

Also, we only have one firmware file that default boots in NTSC. All other firmware files will change to PAL if a factory default is done. EB
