[HOW TO FLASH] how to flash Qviart Lunix 4K

To flash the Qviart Lunix 4K, you follow a process almost identical to its larger sibling (the Lunix3), but with a specific folder name change to ensure the bootloader recognizes the hardware.

Preparation

1. USB Drive: Use a USB 2.0 stick (8GB or less is best), formatted to FAT32.

    

2. Download Image: Ensure you have the firmware (OpenATV, OpenPLi, etc.) specifically for the Lunix 4K.

3. Extract Files: Unzip the folder. You should see a folder named qviart.

4. Copy to USB: Transfer the entire qviart folder to the root of the USB stick.

   • Structure: USB Stick -> qviart -> lunix4k -> (image files: kernel.bin, rootfs.bin, etc.).

The Flashing Process

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

2. Insert USB: Plug the USB stick into the front USB port (behind the flap).

    

3. Power On: Flip the rear power switch to ON.

4. Initiate Flash: * Watch the front panel VFD display.

   • When the display shows “Update?”, press the Power button on the front panel immediately.

5. Wait: The display will show “Flashing”. Do not turn off the power until the receiver reboots itself automatically.

6. Complete: Once the setup wizard appears on your TV screen, you can safely remove the USB stick.

Important Tips

• Folder Name: Double-check that the subfolder is named lunix4k (without the ‘3’).

• Force Method: If you can’t get the button press to work, find the file noforce in the lunix4k folder on your USB and rename it to force.

• USB Port: If the front port doesn’t work, the rear ports can be used as a backup.
