TRF-2460 can't find firmware on USB

[David74]

I'm having issues with my unit. It won't boot most of the time.
I have formatted a USB in fat 32 format and put the firmware on the USB.
The Toppie had no issue finding the usb. I press ok to update but nothing happens.There is no parent file on the usb, just the trf file. Any ideas?

If you are in a state that uses DST, ensure that you are using the latest firmware with the DST hack.

Also ensure that you have the firmware for the correct System ID.  Firmware update will be rejected if the System ID of the PVR and firmware file do not match.

Look in 'Menu -> Information -> System Status' for the 'System ID'.

From the sounds of it, you freshly formatted the flash drive.  I vaguely recall having issues with flash drives that were not newly formatted.

If other efforts fail, you could also try the 'Bricked Toppy' approach.
