What was the last firmware you burned or upgraded to your box?

Can you try to long-press menu button just after powering up the box? This should take you to recovery mode


You also can try to bridge on those 2 pins ( look the picture attached ) to force it.
Use tweezers to brige the pins and keep on those pins linking, then connect the USB to your computer. The burning tool recognize the box.

Hi Inphic When Jim sent me (2015-01-06_SPOT-i5_AlfaBeta-test.signed) I reinstalled (2015-12-28_SPOT-i5_OTA-FULL-signed_Inphic-tangerine) with the AlfaBeta-test installed in to (2015-12-28_SPOT-i5_OTA-FULL-signed_Inphic-tangerine) the unit booted up and just showed the Inphic logo flashing on and off.
So I tried to reinstall (2015-12-28_SPOT-i5_OTA-FULL-signed_Inphic-tangerine) through USB Burning Tool but when it got to 4% it stopped.
I have tried shorting pins 29 and 30 but no good.
Tried installing from sd card with uboot.bin file,aml_sdc_burn.ini and aml_upgrade_package from Inphic_Spot_i5_20151113.
It will load but will not install aml_upgrade_package.
It just goes to Inphic logo and stays there.

Grrr..

Just wasted about an hour and a half.

Went to watch some d/l Kodi I put on the 32 gb micro card last week.

Stuffing around , could not find the card via es or its own inbuilt browser, or via normal android storage settings.

Could not get mount/unmount working, removed inserted the card a number of times, and then removed it totally.

Went to update, and stuff me tight, it would do one update, then whilst I was mucking about more, it decided to do 2 more updates and now sits on built number: KOT49H.230151218test-keys

Micro card could not be read in windows 7, had to go in via the Press Start/Then Point Mouse On My Computer/Then Right click it so a list comes out/Then Go On Manage/ The Press Disk Management scenario. Finally found it that way and it was empty.
Reformatted it again, and now Inphic finds it.

Can you please advise what new remotes it supports, as I saw something about that as it updated. I just hate the remote it came with, and if another works somehow, I will gladly smash the old one to pieces with the 1st brick I can find. It is upsetting that so many people report the remote as almost useless, and the company via its rep here does little to help out.

Anyhow, enough of this box tonight, I'm sick of it.

@ Viewer. I initially got the same problems with the remote. Try to use the remote at a 90 degree angle. Meaning you are looking at the keys, rather than pointing it direct to the box. I found the response in this position very good!

Since the updates the Smart iRemote app won't work for me any more either........

Hi Jim the attachment is not there.
The long press on menu will not take me to recovery.
The computer does recognize the box Jim.

Inphic Jim this is what I posted a week ago.

When you are at trying to burn your device, is there any other RED message showing about? Not the ones that display like a error line, but are just under the table on the right, where you can see the fields KEY and AVAILABLE.

Black spoti5 and white remote

The black color and surface of the case may be the cause. It seems that the black color absorb the IR light and the surface can help to take this light away.

Please check your inbox. I'm going to send you a private message

Hi Inphic Jim,

Thanks for the response, details sent by PM as requested.

Sorry to be a pain, but any thoughts news on the unit not seeing my server at all?
Other gear I have can see all the server programs I use, ala Universal Media Server,Plex Media Server,Windows Media Player, Sony Bravia, Telstra T-Box, Tronsmart T1000, MK808B,Technicolour wifi router. However the Spot sees nothing???

Thank you

John

Hi, good news!

First firmware update is ready. Two ways to get it:

1. Install this APP for OTA service: http://www.inphic.com/download/downl...pot-i5-ota-app

Just download the APP from the TV Box browser, install and open. Your SPOT i5 will detect the latest version of firmware and upgrade.

2. Download firmware file: https://mega.nz/#!zIljUBzL!wfBnfuOIb...cIX1BBTfMPWUPg

Upgrade by using Amlogic burning tools


Firmwares under 20151113 does not support OTA, then, this APP is required. After install this version OTA will be there.

Latest firmware is rooted

I cant find this working link for firmware I like to try it..if I can get this from you ..thanks
