    I might be wrong m8 but you've doomed only jtag can help in that case. look for "azbox hd jtag" thread. there are docs but they are quite tricky and you have to know how to solder. hope somebody more experienced than me helps you. sorry

    Hello,

    Please describe precisely the steps that you performed before you get this problem.
    If it get the problem just after in the upgrade screen you select 1. Upgrade USB then yes only jtag can help because bootloader is wrongly written so no rescue mode is possible.

    If it is while you start AzUP then normally the bootloader is correct.

    Try perhaps to power off / power on completely with the back switch your Azbox.

    Seems pr2 wites in some unreadeble language??

    Here we need a answer was that 9% during:
    1 - first initial install from usb stick
    2 - or was it with AzUp


    And then your answer:

    In case off 1 the bootloader is corrupted and you need jtag
    In case off 2 resque mode is possible

    I am afraid first install from usb stick of E2

    is there an English version of jtag instructions

    Guys, there is 2 type of "install" for E2,
    -first one is over standard UPDATE screen and it's only flashing new linux kernel 2.6.22 over old one 2.6.15 , so if this is where you stuck on flash, there is no need for jtag ,just serial interface and then over YAMON bootloader reflashing kernel.
    -Second "install" over Azup it's just install to DOM. So if first "install" go okey you should not stuck on BOOTING.

    Advice !!!

    Before trying E2, disable hardware acceleration with these writing procedures in Nor-Flash memory or DOM ...

    Best regards ...

    If you reply properly to my very simple question we can tell us if this sounds good or not:

    So now you have to choose between answer 1 or 2.

    Answer 1:

    I was in upgrade Menu (official firmware upgrade menu), I select 1. upgrade USB and during the flash it fails

    Answer 2:

    I upgrade successfully my Azbox with the upgrade menu (official firmware menu) then I went to recovery mode, I saw the IP address and it is when I start the flash with Azup.exe that it fails.

    Answer 3:

    Sorry I don't know what I was doing but I have got failed during flash. That's all I remember. And now my Azbox no longer boot.

    So please select between answer 1 , 2 or 3.

    I hope this time I am clear enough for you.

    Hi,

    Then bad news you have no other solution than the one described by The_Ripper, you need to find the right serial cable to be able to flash Yamon with a valid bootloader.

    Because your Azbox has no way to flash any firmware now nor E2, nor the official one, Yamon needs to be repaired first.

    thanks all

    some thing like this then found on FLEABAY

    The MAX232CPE is an RS-232 driver/receiver intended for all EIA/TIA-232E and V 28/V 24 communications interfaces, and in particular, for those applications where a +12V is not available.

    The MAX232CPE is particularly useful in Battery-powered systems, since their low-power shutdown mode reduces power dissipation to less than 5uW.

    Features




    Operates from single +5V power supply.




    Meet all EIA/TIA-232E and V.28 specifications.




    Two drivers and two receivers.




    3-state driver and receiver outputs.




    Data rate 120 (kbps)

    @jimmyjim11: Still the same problem with recovery?
    Which is the size of you FAT formated usb stick?
    I hab a similar problem with one with the vfat only 100MB in size. It needs more then that. Use one with eg. 256 MB and it should work.
    If you check the stick after 'crash' you should see the left size if you put it back to a PC.
