I tried the same thing, i helped me to do a factory reset.
1 unplug Mag254
2 push and hold the button with 3 dots and 3 lines and plug power back in you should have a blue screen with settings.
3 follow the on screen menu to do a factory reset

Hope it help you

[desiboy1]

Okay thanks i got the blue screen, il try to figure out from there

[desiboy1]

Cant get out of the blue screen with settings now . I turned off and on and goes back to the same screen with settings

[desiboy1]

Changedmy whtlat did you do exactly when you got to the blue screen?

[desiboy1]

I did the factory default- saved and reboot. Now its stuck on tftp load

[haywire]

Is that where you type pool.ntp.org and it save...then you to settings -server and you put in the url 1 the portal you are assigned too plus iptvprivateserver.tvand save again....after it should ask you on the reboot for user and password and that would be your donation number for both...hope this is what answer you were looking for if not could a mod delete ..thanks..

No it wont ever start up. Stuck with blue loading screen.

To get back to booting correctly unplug and plug back in the box, then menu into bios again.
Once there go to "Boot Mode" and right arrow to change it to "NAND" or NAND2"

Sorry just saw you were still stuck. I would say try the same as greg wrote, and it should then boot into the iner portal. When it hopefully does that, then start doing a manuel update.

well, there are members here such as Changedmy and Greg who may know more about troubleshooting the Mag then some of us staff :)

They know what they are talking bout :)

[greg]

if you are stuck on blue loading page then you are not booting from NAND" or NAND2

[smokey44]

Mine did the same thing about a week after I bought it. I downloaded the firmware from Infomir, put it on a thumb drive and reflashed it. It has worked fine ever since. That was about 4 months ago.

I tried all of them...

[desiboy1]

Whats the website for it please?

[monty49]

Are u using the HDMI port or RCA?Try using the rca plugs and unplug mag.Hold menu button while plugging mag back in,it should show the bios.Change video settings to auto,scroll down to save and exit.restart mag and it should load.Once it loads and u get picture change back to HDMI.Heres the newest firmware and instructions.

[desiboy1]

Yes i have tried both wires both didnt work. I gues i need to load the firmware . Il try it thanks

[funnyface]

Look in the mag254 section there is info there to help you killa remember the nick of your from a few years back with another SITE before iptv became popular

[monty49]

go to the sister site and download it from there...http://ftazeta.com/mag-254-firmware/66536-mag-254-firmware-download-other-versions-instructions.html
you will need to register first before u can download the firmware file.

[desiboy1]

so format the usb even tho it is already formated to fat32?

[desiboy1]

just downloaded it from my post and it opens find for me?

ok now i was able to download it. i just copied to usb and il try to load it now

[desiboy1]

nope............... same error "image update not present" :(

[monty49]

open the mag254 r14 folder and copy the mag254 folder to a formatted to fat32 usb.

[Marley]

right click on usb and it should let you format to fat 32

[monty49]

if ur using the front usb port on the mag254 try using the back usb port.

[desiboy1]

Yes i did format 3 times and i am using rear port.

[desiboy1]

Yes i did format 3 times and i am using rear port.
and i have tried with 2 different usbs both formatted to fat32. i am copying the file to the usb main directory and nothing else on it.
any other suggestion guys or should i just ship it back to the dealer becuase i have spent about 6 hours on this unit in 2days....

[monty49]

ok you say its stuck on blue loading screen?can you explain more ..does it boot up,go to loading ,then go to blue screen with barber pole?
Did u try another usb stick,cause ive had it happen more then once that the mag didnt like the stick i was using.

[desiboy1]

Its stuck in the bios mode..... tftp at the bottom and center. "Loading"

[desiboy1]

I was just copying the file - do i have to make folder in usb directory and then save the image file in it?

[desiboy1]

Ok so now something changed.
In the bios i pressed red F1 then saved settings and now infomir logo comes up and then loading with black screen.
Then loading disappears and stays black screen...
Still something is not right.

[desiboy1]

1800 1801 thats where i am now

[desiboy1]

i unpluged it and connected to my other tv and boom everything came up fine. what a nightmare it was!
***
I went back to first tv and used a different hdmi cable and it worked. So the issue was related to freaking hdmi cable??? Because that same cable works fine with other receivers....

[desiboy1]

i would like to thank everyone for their help!! thank you so much!!
