Since May 21, 2013, many GI S8120 users have stopped booting the system on SPARK firmware version 1.2.61 and higher.

0000 appears on the display. SPARK users suffered, but Enigma is all good.

There is a glitch on the Yakha weather server - they messed with the weather. It gives incorrect information.

The weather plugin in the receiver died. Everyone has this. Due to some bullshit the download was interrupted.

Solution

No. 1. Connect to the receiver via FTP login: root Password: root. For example in DCC

Go to the folder: /root/spark/AppUserDb/ and delete the file weather.xml.

The Spark service stopped working for me, it thinks and writes a network error

Hello, my dear! In this small article, the author will touch upon a very serious topic that greatly worries many viewing enthusiasts. satellite television in good quality.

And we'll talk about what it is recovery firmware for GI S8120, a very popular budget HD tuner among the people. Let's figure out why it is needed and where you can download it for free.

So, if by bad luck, during the update software factory, something went wrong with you. For example, copying files froze and the numbers “7 70” appeared on the receiver display:

Or, when you first started it, instead of a colorful splash screen, you saw a black screen and an incomprehensible combination “0000”:

All this suggests that you have problems with the new software and the device will no longer boot. But don’t be afraid, there is actually a way out of this situation and it’s very simple. This is where we will use recovery firmware.

To do this, download it from the link here. Then in the root of the flash drive with file system FAT32 create a folder called spark and upload two files from the archive you just downloaded there. In the end, everything should look like this:

Now, this USB drive needs to be inserted into the corresponding connector on the back of the tuner. At this time, it should be completely turned off. This is done with the toggle switch already known to us:

And then we do everything by analogy, as with the usual installation of a factory shell under the name Spark. Namely, press the “OK” button on the front panel of the receiver and hold it for several seconds, while turning on the power switch.

We wait until the word “Forc” lights up on the device display:

Now release “OK” and press the “Right” button:

At this step, “U LD” will appear on the display and different numbers will start running for a few minutes:

We are waiting for the recovery firmware to be completely copied to our “wounded” GI S8120 tuner, which it will tell us about:

By the way, just in case, now remove the flash drive from the USB connector; you no longer need it. What to do now? - you may ask. The answer is simple - whatever your heart desires.

You can use the existing basic one recovery firmware GI S8120,upload the latest version of the software and configure it. In general, go for it, gentlemen and ladies.

Finally, I propose once again to remember your youth and indulge in sweet oblivion. 😉

The problem is this - the receiver simply does not boot, 0000 or BOOT is lit on the screen, while most users did nothing. It turns out that this happened due to a failure on the Google weather server, and you can fix the receiver yourself!

There are two options for restoring the receiver:

1. If after a reboot the GI splash screen appears, a black screen appears, the remote control does not respond, buttons on the front panel do not work, etc., you must: connect to the receiver via FTP and delete the weather file. To do this: go to the folder: /root/spark/AppUserDb/ and delete the weather.xml file. After this, reboot the receiver and do not add cities to the weather forecast.

2. If the receiver is in working condition, then go to Menu->Spark->Weather Forecast->and delete all cities.

Often users do not remember the IP address of their receiver, or the receiver was brought to you for repair and you do not know its IP address, in this case find out network address The receiver will be helped by the DCC program (used for Dreambox receivers).

So, we launch the program and see its main window:

Here, under the picture of the receiver, you need to click the SEARCH button.

A new window will open, in which you need to click SEARCH again and you will receive the IP addresses of all devices connected to local network. The device named ST Linux is your GI receiver.

That's it, now you have access to the receiver via FTP and can delete the weather.xml file

We remind you that when connecting to Galaxy Innovations receivers via FTP, the following Login and Password are used:

Login: root

Password: root

For latest versions software - firmware, this problem is not relevant. So reflashing the receiver also solves this problem.

If the receiver's firmware has failed or there is another problem. You may need special recovery firmware
