DE-OpenBlackHole 1.4 DM7025 Boot loop - 10/23/15 01:06 AM

Hi,

I've just flashed my DM7025 with the DE-OpenBlackHole 1.4 image and all appears to go well.

Upon rebooting the DM7025, the LCD panel displays "Dream Multimedia Booting" and the progress bar as usual and the TV shows the Booting BlackHole screen....

Until the progress bar is 1/3 done when the TV screen changes to a blank green screen and a spinning working indicator. After a little time, the BlackHole screen re-appears for a some time and this is again followed by the green screen.

This looping appears to proceed indefinitely.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,
Mel

The issue was fixed by applying the "Bad Sector Recovery" as the box was probably used since many years and needed to clear some Flash memory (that was marked bad but wasn't). It got around 1.5 Mb more free Flash and the box worked fine and booted fine as the loop was coming because the memory available was at zero (and corrupted the image as was not complete).
