HOW TO FLASH

[HOW TO FLASH] how to flash Medialink ixussone

Flashing the Ixuss One (a Medialink Enigma2 receiver) follows the standard procedure for most Broadcom-based Linux receivers.

Preparation

  1. USB Stick: Use a high-quality USB stick (preferably 8GB or smaller) formatted to FAT32.

  2. Image: Download your preferred Enigma2 image (e.g., OpenATV, OpenViX, or Egami).

  3. Folder Structure: Extract the zip file. You should see a folder named ixussone (or sometimes a nested structure like medialink/ixussone). Ensure the ixussone folder containing the flash files is at the root of the USB drive.


Flashing Steps

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

  2. Insert USB: Plug the USB stick into the rear USB port (this is usually more reliable for flashing than the front port).

  3. Power On: Switch the receiver back on while watching the front panel display.

  4. Initiate Flash: * When the display shows a message like “CONF” or “USB”, or asks if you want to upgrade, press the CH+ (Up) button on the front panel of the receiver.

    • If it doesn’t prompt you, some versions require holding the Power button on the front panel while switching on the rear power until the flashing message appears.

  5. Wait: The display should change to “PROG” or “UPGRADING”. Do not turn off the power during this time.

  6. Finish: Once the process is complete, the display will usually show “DONE” or “REBOOT”. Remove the USB stick and the receiver will automatically restart into the new image setup wizard.


Troubleshooting

  • Not Detecting USB: If the box boots normally to the old image, try a different USB stick. These older receivers can be very picky about USB brands and sizes.

  • File Path: Ensure the files are not double-foldered. The structure should be: USB Drive -> ixussone -> (bin/image files).
