[HOW TO FLASH] how to flash AXAS HIS4K Combo +

The AXAS HIS4K Combo+ is a powerful HiSilicon-based receiver. Because it uses the HiSilicon chipset, the flashing process and file structure are slightly different from the standard MIPS or ARM Beyonwiz models you’ve been working with.

Step 1: USB Preparation

• Format: The USB stick must be FAT32. (HiSilicon boxes can be very sensitive; try a USB 2.0 drive if possible).

• Folder Structure: When you unzip your image (e.g., OpenATV), you will see a folder named axas.

• Target Path: Inside the axas folder, there must be a subfolder named his4kcombo.

  • Path check: USB_DRIVE:\axas\his4kcombo\

  • Crucial Files: You should see appcfg.bin, boot.img, fastboot.bin, kernel.bin, recovery.img, and rootfs.tar.bz2.

Step 2: The Flashing Procedure

1. Power Down: Turn off the AXAS using the physical power switch at the back.

2. Insert USB: Plug the USB drive into the side USB port (usually the blue USB 3.0 port works best on this model).

3. Boot & Trigger:

   • Switch the rear power toggle to ON.

   • Immediately press and hold the Power Button on the front panel (or the Reset button if your specific revision uses one).

   • Watch the front display. When it shows “UPDT” or “Flsh,” release the button.

4. Wait for Progress: The box will now begin flashing. You will see progress on the front display or your TV screen. This takes about 3–5 minutes.

5. Reboot: Once the process is finished, the receiver will reboot automatically. Remove the USB drive during the reboot.
