ihubs not all working after update to 1.4 - ABA DSS

**tomcat01** · July 25th, 2009

well guys i have been trying everything to get my ihub working for almost 12 hrs and i have alot of experience with these recievers and iks well i tried it all i could back up my ihub to 1.0 and back to 1.4 etc i also had no problems getting it to read the 1.4 and loading the 462 new file but no picture i have tried almost all the different ways to do it from this site and from other guys including some masters here and nothing worked ..

so as a last resort i decided to call my bud who is a dist where i live and said to him i cannot get it to work and all is good routers ip address ping ing the servers ports all open and even setting up the ipconfig as a static .. which made me load the ihub everytime with whatever frimware i wanted MADE NO DIFFERENCE

so anyways i called him up and he said hit his place and he would give me a few ihubs to test..well i picked it up today and all i did was load 460 and plugged the ihub in ipconfig came up and then entered my new serial# hit apply reboot from the rear and the tv came up .. then i just opened the wiznet and loaded 1.4 while the tv was on (as per the zekster master ) then it froze and as soon as i loaded 462 then reciever rebooted and perfect tv froze once for about 1 second in the last 3 hrs ..

so if you are not getting the picture maybe see if you can borrow a ihub or get another and try it because the 12 hrs i wasted with my old i hub was crazy all in all it took me 5 min to update and watch tv ..

so beware it could be a dud in my opinion..

good luck and if you have tried all the different ways and still not pic after the update could be a bad ihub or maybe corrupted ..

good luck just though i would share

great job troubleshooting TC
told you it was easy and quick as long as you follow the directions and of course having a good ihub is the main thing

Thanks TC.
i'm justing waiting for my sv8000/ihub next moday.
i'll keep that in mind.

Great Post TC. I'm sure there are some thinking theirs might be duds. If all else fails switch it out. Glad you're watching TV with the HD.

**tomcat01** · July 25th, 2009

thanks for the call and the brainstorming last night i gave my buddy the other NEW ihub but after seeing the problems i had with my old on he want me to do his so he can watch how to do it ..

i was amazed how fast it updated and for your info that was the same way i original loaded it on my old one so it leads me to believe it is the ihub maybe it got corrupt and that is why it was not working but the new one is flawless

thanks again for the help my friend .

If all else fails, do as TC did, get another IHUB.

**tomcat01** · July 25th, 2009

you can also make sure that your ipconfig is on dhcp then aply then you can also upgrade to 1.0 first use the file here

http://www.abadss.com/forum/484-soni...b-rom0100.html

now use this first if it does not load take the checkmark out of the use dns and try again once the 1.0 is loaded then use the usb to load 460 tune to channel 200 when you get tv back

then open wixnet again and load 1.4 once the tv freezes then load bin 462 let it reboot and leave it on the same channel and it should turn the tv back on and you are set hopefully this helps

Hey TC, since you didn't make this a sticky, hope ya don't mind I added it to the IHUB for Newbies sticky:

What I have found over the last week with a few members that I have got up and running is, some think they have done something wrong, and in actuallality they just need to wait and be patient after they have loaded the latest I hub file, especially if you have a virgin receiver or have no pic at all. It can take up to 10 minutes for a picture to appear. If you have TV with the previous ihub bin and version 1.00 then your picture will FREEZE right after your load the latest ihub files, which is a good thing, it's suppose to freeze for just a second.

Bottom line, if you are able to upload version 1.4 on your wiznet and upload the latest file to your receiver, you should have TV.
If you don't have TV, you either have a bad Ihub or you need to set your receiver to channel 200 and be patient, and you will have TV, this process can take up to 10 minutes for a picture to appear.

**tomcat01** · July 25th, 2009

well mine would not give that to me at all and i followed the load info to the tee so i think sometimes the i hub could fail if the chips on the recievers can why not thi one on the ihub .. anyways i am going to play with the old one that is not working anf see if i can get it to work LOL

**tb1971** · July 25th, 2009

Having access to a few ihubs to test make things alot easier too

jm4432 · July 25th, 2009

does this mean some ihubs are bad are do we wait for new fix?

**tb1971** · July 25th, 2009

Fix's have nothing to do with the ihub. Most Ihubs are good, but there are some bad ones just like with most electronic equipment.

filo5555 · July 25th, 2009
