X5 recovery

[ssimonn]

Hi rrob

can you explain this in a little more detail I have the same problem as you have had
Thank you

Sure no problem. Welcome to Legit! Are you getting the recovery screen when you turn on the receiver? If so find a USB flash drive or a USB card reader with a memory card in it.

Format the usb drive to FAT32. Create a new folder and name it recovery. Then download the x5 recovery file in the file section here and extract the file into the recovery folder that you just made. Then take the usb stick/drive and plug it into the X5 receiver. (I used the rear jack but I don't think it matters.) Now you will want to hold down the OK button on the front of the receiver while powering up the receiver with the rocker switch on the rear. Continue to hold the OK button until you see the front display say load. It should show the system updating on the tv screen.

If this does not work let us know what error message you are getting. You may need to try a different USB drive if this does not work. Keep me posted on your recovery. Good luck.

The recovery was somewhat successful that the box did accept program but after rebooting I get a rolling screen, any ideas on this.
thanks for the help

Maybe try to hook it up with a different output or try a different TV so you can get into the screen settings and possibly change the TV type.

Rolling screen happens on my x5 and f6 as well when component cables are used, try using an hdmi cable or hook it up to a tv to change the output as Rob mentioned previously.

Tried different tv and it worked, I dont have a cable from my big dish in that room so i will be picking up some hdmi cables later today and try it again
