How to use AZUp
Because they appeared quasi instructions for AZUp use and procedures for the insertion of E2 in AZBox
I prepared a short and precise instructions - exactly what you need to do
btw , I must to mention , ignore wrong "tutorials" with wrong directions
as : you must use Format App ))) realy funny because AZUp manage partitions of your AZBox
Ignore any instructions and use this official instruction from the author of AZUp


We have 3 situation :
I) You have Official FW in your AZBox andyou want to install E2
II) You have E2 in yourAZBox and now you want to install official FW
III) You have E2 in your AZBox and now you want to install new/update of E2


I) You have Official FW in your AZBox andyou want to install E2
Switch off AZBox
Put usb stick with patch.bin (e2)
switch on AZBox
Follow messages on GUI for update official FW (standard procedure)
After about 1 min , your receiver will reboot
Dont remove USB Stick from AZBox !!!
wait for IP adress on VFD of AZBox
Start latest ver of AZUp
Write IP adress in AZUp (see VFD)
Click on button Update
AZUp check for resque mode, also check ver of patch.bin (E2 or official fw)
AZUp create cramfs, Create 3 partition on DOM and formatted them
Copyng E2 kernel in Flash (about 2.5 min)
Copyng E2 files in first DOM partition (about 1 min)
when get popup msg - remove usb stick and wait for reboot (Rebooting... msg on VFD)
New E2 is installed successfully


II) You have E2 in yourAZBox and now you want to install official FW

Switch off AZBox
Put usb stick with patch.bin (Official FW)
switch on AZBox
wait for IP adress on VFD of AZBox
Start latest ver of AZUp
Write IP adress in AZUp (see VFD)
Click on button Update
AZUp check for resque mode, also check ver of patch.bin (E2 or official fw)
AZUp Create 4 partition on DOM and formatted them
Copyng Official (old) kernel in Flash (about 2.5 min)
when get popup msg - first part of update is done, but dont remove USB stick from AZBOX
wait for reboot , and follow messages on GUI for update official FW (standard procedure)



III) You have E2 in your AZBox and now you want to install new/update of E2

Switch off AZBox
Put usb stick with patch.bin (e2)
switch on AZBox
wait for IP adress on VFD of AZBox
Start latest ver of AZUp
Write IP adress in AZUp (see VFD)
Click on button Update

Re: How to load Enigma 2 on Azbox HD

And don't forget to backup all from plug-ins folder and channel list(3 files) from Disk2 in case that you wouldn't be happy with new E2 and you want to back official FW.
P.S. I am waiting the day when i will be very happy with new E2.

Istructions for Premium+ from developers
MickeySa wrote:For all members which own, AzBox HD Premium+ here is tutorial how to make E2 test running on their STB.

So, use standard procedure, to load E2 in Premium+, same as Elite/Premium.

Now, reboot Yout STB with usb memory stick in it with patch.bin file on it, just to enter in RECOVERY MODE, to obtain IP Address of Your receiver.

When You noted IP address of AzBox HD Premium+ ( which You can also do by accessing Router of Your LAN ), remove USB Memory stick, and turn off and turn on AzBox HD Receiver, by the power switch on the back side.

When You got on VFD 100, Your box is up and running.

Use FTP to connect on IP address which You already noted, and go in /etc/init.d .

There, You will find file named as bootup.

Download and Edit it.

Inside of it You will find two lines :

# Elite and Premium
insmod /lib/modules/2.6.22.19-19-the_ripper/extra/em8634dvb.ko options="-analog -f PAL_BG -digital -f HDMI_720p50 -hdmi_chip SiI9030 0 14 15 100 0"
# Premium+
#insmod /lib/modules/2.6.22.19-19-the_ripper/extra/em8634dvb.ko options="-analog -f PAL_BG -digital -f HDMI_720p50 -hdmi_chip SiI9134 0 14 15 100 0"

Comment insmode line below # Elite/Premium with character #.

Uncomment insmod line below #Premium+ , save file and overwrite existing file on STB.

Now, switch off and switch on Your Premium+, and You should have GUI and everything on Your Premium+ .

The problem is just as Elite/Premium are using Sil9030 HDMI Chip, and Premium is using Sil9134 . So it is same procedure to get it working on AzBox Ultra HD.

1) Let's get down to it: IN MEDIAS (ST)RES!!!

Preparation

I’ll presume you have the official Opensat/Celrun FW in your AZBox HD and you want to install E2.

A) For each of my networked devices I reserve an IP address in my router. So, for your AZbug HD one should have something like: 192.168.x.x. This could be in router's --> Setup --> Network Settings --> Add DHCP Reservation --> DHCP Reservation List --> this should give you the address to work with. Write it down, just in case.

B) Download the latest E2 package and unpack it on your PC

C) Install the latest AZUp programme to your PC [usually it’s included in the package].

D) Format a USB memory stick [FAT32] and copy the E2 patch.bin file on it - nothing else!

E) In case you want to go back to original FW, use FileZilla Client to drag & drop DISK2 & PLUGINS folders from AZbug HD to your PC. We call that the "BACK UP"... All your "precious" data will be saved: channel list and so on in DISK2 and all the "plug-ins", so restoring it all back to full functionality, as good or bad as it is with "original FW" will be a breeze!

For more details, regarding which files exactly to save, see my “Alternative Guide to AZbox HD”.

Put your AZ HD to Standby and switch it off at the back [the black power button].

Let’s put the E2 into AZbox HD!

1) Put the USB stick into AZbox HD and switch on your AZbox HD at the back.

2) Start the usual procedure as if it’s for official FW update.



3) First, the new Linux kernel will be programmed in. At the end of it, AZbox HD will reboot.

3a) Leave the USB Stick in AZ.

3b) Your AZbox HD display will show its IP address.

4) Start the AZUp and put the IP address in AZUp’s box with red numbers.



4a) Click on Update.

4b) One might have to reboot AZbox HD and restart AZUp, if it fails the first time.

4c) When AZUp starts the procedure successfully it will go on for quite a while, as it will be slow but thorough, while creating 3 partitions on the AZbox HD “hard disk” called “DOM” etc. etc.

5) When it is finished, there will be a little pop-up window with the message “Remove the USB memory stick and wait for reboot”. Click on OK and better hurry up to the AZ, to get the USB stick out, because it will reboot, as you will see on the AZ display, even if you do not remove it.

That should do it. E2 should start booting and you should see numbers increasing, all the way to 100 [%]. The fun [and frustrations – for now, until they sort it out properly] starts then…

However, sometimes there may be a glitch somewhere and you may have to be a bit patient, if “Geeko :P” message appears on the display, while you are waiting to see the rising numbers and “Ready…” message…

Don’t lose your nerve if it isn’t showing the "100" display status [= E2 booted successfully”] immediately. Sometimes it may take a little while but it will get there. At least most of the time!

2) Sort your Settings out!

Once you see 100 on the display, press the MENU button [to the left of the OK button] on your remote --> sort out the settings, as per your needs, by going to Setup. There are quite a few to go through, including turning ON the „Multiple Bouquets“ option for your channel list...

Re: How to load Enigma 2 on Azbox HD

Jazup 2.0

2.0
- Support for the new patch.e2 file format
- Multilingual user interface and messages
- patch.e2 file are now loaded from your PC, no more USB needed.
So if you are familiar with JaZUp 1.x the way of working has changed, please read the attached PDF.
- when installing to USB only the target USB stick is needed
- When creating backup of official firmware data, file is now downloaded and you can set the name of your backup file
- No more support for patch.bin file format
- Disable Hardware Acceleration even in Rescue Mode
- Uninstall Priority Manager from official firmware to avoid conflict when upgrading
- fix E2 partitions problems on official DOM (256MB) if needed
- Automatic rename dummy patch.bin into _patch.bin to allow Azbox full reboot after upgrade

Known issue: when you have E2 installed on an USB memory stick the switch to rescue mode, doesn't work. This
is a kernel bug, not a JaZUp2 bug. You need to insert another USB stick whith a dummy patch.bin file to force
the Rescue Mode.
