[HOW TO FLASH] how to flash Gigablue TRIO 4K PRO

To flash the GigaBlue UHD Trio 4K PRO, you will follow the standard GigaBlue USB update procedure. This model is a powerful 4K UHD receiver, and like its predecessors, it requires a specific folder structure to be recognized by the bootloader during startup.

1. Preparation

• USB Stick: Use a high-quality USB 2.0 or 3.0 stick. For the best compatibility, use a drive 8GB or smaller.

• Format: The stick must be formatted to FAT32.

• Firmware: Download the Enigma2 image specifically for the GigaBlue UHD Trio 4K Pro (e.g., OpenATV, TeamBlue, or OpenViX).

2. Folder Structure

The bootloader looks for the gigablue directory on the root of the drive.

1. Extract the firmware .zip file on your computer.

2. You should see a folder named gigablue.

3. Inside the gigablue folder, there should be a subfolder named trio4kpro.

4. Copy the entire gigablue folder to the root of your USB stick.

   • Path: USB:\gigablue\trio4kpro\

   • Contents: Inside the trio4kpro folder, you should see files like kernel.bin, rootfs.tar.bz2, and imageversion.

3. The Flashing Process

1. Power Off: Turn off the receiver using the power switch at the back.

2. Insert USB: Plug the USB stick into the side USB port or the rear USB port.

3. Power On: Turn the back power switch to ON.

4. Initiate Flash:

   • Watch the front panel display.

   • When the message “IMAGE FOUND” or “USB UPDATE” appears, quickly press the Standby/Power button on the front panel.

   • The front panel will show “FLASHING” or a progress bar.

5. Wait: The process will take a few minutes. Do not turn off the power.

6. Completion: Once finished, the receiver will reboot automatically into the new image.

The flashing process should take approximately two to four minutes to complete, while the receiver
is being flashed it is vitally important that you DO NOT power the receiver down for any reason as
this can cause serious and or permanent damage.
