So now I did it. I installed the enigma2-plugin-extra-tnap-4.1-flashimage_1.1 plugin and went to do a software update and my receiver just sits there with the word "boot" on the display. I've tried to reboot and kept hitting the menu button, nothing. I then renamed the noforce to force file and installed the TNAP-4.1-osmio4k_usb.zip in downloaded images folder but still no luck. My USB stick has a backup I made before I did any updates but I don't see any way to get there to restore it since the receiver is locked in the boot mode. Suggestions?
Performing a software update from most versions of TNAP 4 would result in failure because TNAP 4.1 is different. Everything should have been OK if you would have flashed the image instead of doing an online update. Maybe there will be a way to fix this from happening in the future, but software update and Flash image are two different things and cannot always be interchanged.
TNAP-4.1-osmio4k_usb.zip Does not exist as a download. This file was never posted online that I know about.
TNAP-4.1-osmio4k_20210818_usb.zip Does exist and is attached.
To recover:
(1) Download TNAP-4.1-osmio4k_20210818_usb.zip
(2) Use a Known-To-Be-Good usb drive and extract the TNAP-4.1-osmio4k_20210818_usb.zip file to the usb drive.
(3) Unzip TNAP-4.1-osmio4k_20210818_usb.zip. This will give you a folder named TNAP-4.1-osmio4k_20210818_usb on the usb drive.
(4) Power the receiver OFF by unplugging the power source. Insert prepared usb drive into the receiver. Remove all other usb devices from the receiver if any are attached.
(5) Power On the receiver and follow onscreen instructions.
If you cannot see the onscreen instructions, then you may power off then power on the receiver and rapidly press the ok button on the remote until you see the loading process start on the receiver's screen. Else, navigate to the noforce file on the prepared usb stick and rename it to force.
