    How to load Enigma 2 onto Cuberevo using Usb Stick

    As the Enigma 2 images for Cuberevo/IP 9000Hd boxes have improved over last few months & become more stable & less buggy I thought it was time to upload the USB versions...

    Here's how to load DGS software in flash & have E2 image loaded onto USB stick- advantage over flash is it has bigger memory for all the add ons, etc

    1) Install DGS based software into flash using 'Flashtools program'
    for ease of use we will use 'NLB 9580'

    2)Install Multiboot config software using 'Flashtools' program

    3)Download E2 USB software -such as this
    https://www.satpimps.co.uk/showthread.php?t=114784
    but dont unzip/unrar

    4)Amend your network settings accordingly so using DCC program you can communicate with your box

    5)Switch on box & install USB stick -again we will use a Sandisk Cruzer micro 2gb stick -you can use larger memory sticks but as usb stick port is next to HDMI socket its easier to use a smaller in size -not memory!

    6)With stick installed -open up DCC program & check box is connected

    7)Select FTP, then MNT & if stick is installed it will show USB & USB0

    8)Using DCC select Telnet-you should see 'cuberevo' command prompt

    9) Type mount & enter -some data should appear followed by 'cuberevo' command prompt

    10)Type the following command umount /mnt/usb/usb0 then enter

    11)Type fdisk /dev/sdb -then enter

    12)Type p & enter & it should show current partitions on USB stick

    13)Type d & enter -this will delete all partitions

    14)Type p & enter & it should show no partitions on stick

    15)Type n & enter -this will create a new partition on stick

    16)Type p & enter -to create a primary partition

    17)Type 1 & enter & enter again

    18) Type w to write changes & save & exit- This should have created a linux partition on your USB stick

    19)To format stick type mkfs.ext3 /dev/sdb1 & enter

    20)Wait until 'cuberevo' command prompt appears then mount the stick by typing mount t ext3 /dev/sdb1 /mnt/usb/usb0

    21 )Once cuberevo command prompt appears select FTP -then mnt/usb/usb0

    22) Locate unzipped E2 USB file & transfer (FTP) across to USB stick

    23)Select 'telnet' & type cd /mnt/usb/usb0

    24)Type the following command tar xvzf PKT mod 5.5 Tideglo rev.5.5 9000.tar.gz (if this is the image used) & enter (You may wish to rename the file to something smaller)

    25) The selected image will take sometime to load & decompress

    22)The cuberevo command prompt will appear once its loaded

    23)Reboot your box & select which image you wish to boot 3 for original image or 2 if you want to boot USB stick & use HDD for example
    Hold button on remote for approx 6 seconds

    24)When E2 loads for first time message appears on front display -wait 3 minutes -then Tideglo & loading modu message appears

    25) Amend settings on box according to user

    These instructions are to help folk enjoy using Enigma 2 on their Cuberevo boxes & its worked fine for me
    I accept no responsibilty for damage to your box

    Because you have to format your usb stick in linux ext 3 to ensure the software is loaded & USB stick works properly

    Cheers

    It can be a pain in the a*se to get the stick to format & load image & may take a few attempts to get it right

    Hit the enter key a couple of times after typing your command prompts to see if that works m8

    Let us know how you get on & what you think as latest E2 images have been really good

    Hi ian
    The positioner set up menu doesnt work yet -i believe it has been fixed & will be included in the new software releases

    Using Tideglo PKT 5.5 USB the disque function works fine go to set up & sat config menu & u should be able to enter your settings there

    To install new image on usb stick just follow steps on starting from scratch
