Hello there,

I just bought myself an Amiko Alien, and everything is fairly new to me, hoping I could get some help.

I want to upgrade spark, since the installed software version is from January 2011. Is there a tutorial to explain the upgrade process for this STB? After reading a few posts over the Internet, I came across the same procedure, so correct me if I might be wrong:

By USB

Preparation:
1. We only recommend Kingston USB stick, we don’t support USB hard disk
2. Please make sure your USB stick only have 1 partition and the file system is
FAT32
3. Set default booting system to [spark].

Upgrade Step:

1. Make sure [C:/spark] exist, if not, please create this folder.
2. copy [mImage] and [userfsub.img] to [C:/spark]
3. Connect USB stick to STB
4. Keep Pressing [OK] Button in Front Panel, then power on STB.
5. After 5 seconds, you will see [Forc] in LED, release [OK] button and press [Right] Button.
6. if everything is OK, you'll see [U LD] shining in LED
7. if upgrade success, You will see [SUCC] and STB reboot automatically
8. If upgrade not finishes in 5 minutes, then there must be something wrong, please check your configuration and re-try.
If anyone can confirm if this is a correct procedure, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks.
