How to flash the other receivers...
Download a image from: https://openpli.org Unpack the ZIP file and place the content on a USB disk.
FLASHING THE RECEIVER.
- Unzip compressed file.
- Copy the folder to a USB Pen Drive.
- Power off or reboot the receiver with the mains switch on the rear. Connect USB Pen Drive.
- Power on receiver with the mains switch on the rear.
- After rebooting or cold start the power LED will blink several times after some time. At that moment press the power button on the front panel.
- Flashing of the image will start
- Booting will start automatically once the flashing process has completed
Note: In order to load the image automatically, rename the file called "noforce" to "force"
Specific information for HD51 new bootloader V1.07-r19.
The file can be download at: http://downloads.mut...olt-v107r19.zip
The easy way to check the bootloader version is by going to Menu > Information > About
Alternative using the CLI to check the bootloader version you have... Enter the receiver with telnet, enter the following command:
#:/cat /sys/firmware/devicetree/base/bolt/tag
Notice: This update is imported if you make use of the boxmode function. (Boxmode 1 is default and boxmode 12 activate PiP)
the update goes the same way as flashing a image. The HD51 folder on the USB disc must be clean before placing the content of the zip file on the USB disk. The zip file contains 2 files: hd51-bolt.bin and imageversion
There are two ways to place the boot loader on your receiver: Option 1: Press the standby button for 15 seconds until BOLT appears on the display. Option 2: Start your receiver via the power plug and hold the standby button until BOLT appears on the display.
The flash procedure will only take a few seconds and when Complete appears at the display, the receiver will restart. Warning: Do not unplug the receiver during the update process!

Boxmode for HD51 how to...
There are currently two box mode options for the HD51.
- Mode 1 = 2 video encoder for main screen
- Mode 12 = 2 video encoder for main screen + 1 video encoder for 2nd screen (PiP)
To alter your receiver into a different box mode Goto folder: /media/mmc/STARTUP default:
boot emmcflash0.kernel1 'root=/dev/mmcblk0p3 rw rootwait hd51_4.boxmode=1'
if you alter hd51_4.boxmode=1 into 12, your receiver is switching to boxmode 12 when you restart your receiver. so:
boot emmcflash0.kernel1 'root=/dev/mmcblk0p3 rw rootwait hd51_4.boxmode=12'
Must I switch from mode?
The answer is no. If you switching into box mode 12, the energy consumption will increase.
