WooshBuild v3.01- Zgemma 2S + USB Cam Transfer Plugin + BaseBuild - OpenATV 5.1

[Bigrussuk]

Hi all

1) Can I ask, when you back up the image to usb you get the 'full back up folder' but is the 'zgemma' flash folder updated automatically?

(I'm presuming so, as I have backed up today, and the date of the 'zgemma' folder has changed to today's date)

or do you have to update that manually for auto flashing? also when you do a new back up is the 'force' setting saved or do you have to change that every time?

2)with the new online flashing with this build is there any need to do a full image back up now? or will a simple settings backup suffice?

also on a side note, I see ATV 5.2 is now availiable, is this still beta? will you be doing a new build with the 5.2? (sorry i dont fully understand how this works, what would happen if i updated to 5.2 with your build running?)

Thanks again

Russ

Bigrussuk.....I always keep a full backup copy and a settings back up on the HDD for safety sake.
When you flash online you will only need to restore settings afterwards.
Openatv 5.2 will not be used on Wosshbuild until it is fully proven.
At the moment Wooshbuild continues to use V5.1 in the build.

Thanks for the swift reply, I like to keep a full back up with a forced flash on a stick too...just in case I cant get it to boot. Any Ideas on Question 1?

I'll leave the ATV update that those who know best :)

The zgemma folder starts as basebuild and each time you flash then the files will be updated so your backup copy will always be the last image you flashed.
I trust this is what you were asking ?

 

[boylabsye]

I've done that and it's telling me to put my line info in the ccam file before putting the usb in the box.u

 

[benijofar]

Download "freefileviewer" via google and open the file that way.
Then copy details on to USB

Hi
Not quite, sorry if I'm not explaining myself correctly....ill try again

To create a USB forced flash drive of the latest backup do I have to expand the latest back up and create and updated 'zgemma' folder or is that said zgemma folder updated automatically?
And do I have to go in to said folder and change from noforce to force every time ?

Ok sorry Wooshman

I was thinking the backups created would be build specific.

I'll do as you suggest [emoji106]

I have replied to your PM.

You do need to search the forum though as it is not build related. You cannot open the file on your computer to edit it. This is what you need for find info on. Open the file using notepad.

No, the backup process for Zgemma boxes result in the same files and structure (virtually)

You answer to question number 1 is yes, the zgemma folder will be updated automatically, and if you have renamed noforce to force, a new noforce file will be created too. Not sure what happens if you leave both on a usb stick and try to flash.

Can this be used to flash a box stuck at boot?

Fantastic! Thanks for taking the time to answer [emoji106]

'Not sure what happens if you leave both on a usb stick and try to flash.'....'

So just so I have it totally straight .... For me now the normal process would be >Image back up to existing USB ...the zgemma folder will be updated automatically>delete the 'fullbackimage'_zgemmah2s' leaving on the USB just the zgemma folder and the backupstick.txt ?

Thanks again

Yes Dave, if you've created a forced flash back up on a USB drive , just plug it in and restart and it should restore your system to how it was when you created the back up.

Sorry, I've been told this is off-topic, I'm respecting this, so I shall not reply again, don't want to upset woosh [emoji106]

But pm if I can help more

Did you line provider send you the line as text in an email or did they send you a file attached to the email?

Beni has tried to help already and I have PM'd you too.

I will try to help as much as I can but you need to answer what I ask and do what I then advise next.

 

[benijofar]

boylabsye......pm me your email address and I will contact you.
You can send me the email/attachment and I will turn it into a file and mail it back if you want ?

 

[boylabsye]

Totally understand. The line info was sent as text in an email. I downloaded bith your files and added my line info to your cam folder. I put it in the front of the box and did as said on the instructions. When i go to softcam manager i dont get the option of cam 2.3.0. I have all the free to air. Ive juat reflashed the box again and im going to try it when its finished.
