Gen3 boot problem

[warrior6]

Hi Guys.
I'm having a problem with my WD TV Live Streaming.
I tried to install the b-rad firmware but something went wrong...
Everything went fine when I installed the homebrew scripts, but now, when I reebot the WD, it sits on the WD logo and it just stays there.
I tried to run the win-homebrew-stockifiy.bat but it looks like the WD isn't connected to the net anymore.

Please tell me that there's a way to fix it and that I didn't have to trash my WD...

Have you removed your flashdrive / thumbdrive and rebooted the WDTV ?

ie. pulled the power cord out ... waited a few minutes before plugging back in ?

it should "reboot" into Official Firmware Mode ... then from there, you should have an IP Address and be able to run win-homebrew-stockifiy.bat

[warrior6]

Yes, I tried.
Looks like it just sits on the wd logo and the reboot on its own.
I can't really see anything loading and I can't acces from my pc either because it looks like the wd isn't connected to the net...
Don't know what went wrong.

how long have waited for the boot procedure ? mine takes a while .. probably about a minute and a half (ie black screen ... wd logo appears for while .. disappears .. black screen ... wd logo appears .. another wait ... then searching for network ... etc)

If it's still not booting completely try resetting the WDTV .. ie. press the reset underneath the device for a 2-3 seconds until you see the logo disappear

and wait at least 5-10 minutes for the WDTV to go through it's reboot procedure.

also, if none of this works ... don't hit the panic button, KAD79 frequents this forum quite often and i'm sure he'll be able to assist you as well

just remove the thumbdrive and let the WD boot normally again

then check what firmware's you're actually using
you say you're trying to boot b-rad's firmware (assuming this) which is based on 1.11.14 official
if 2.02.32 is the official firmware you have installed they are incompatible

you can't boot 1.12.14_WDLXTV_PALACE-0.0.2 over official firmware 2.02.32
this is due to a different kernel

Hi KAD, thanks for your reply.
I was trying to use this one:

If I remove the usb drive it just shows the WD logo and then everything goes black.
Looks like I can't access to the device from the net either.
If I plug the usb in it just loops the boot sequence and nothing happens.

do you know what official firmware is currently install on the device ?

[warrior6]

Yes.
1.05.18

[KAD]

Yes.
1.05.18

wow

that's so old I had to look it up, no developer ever looked at that firmware
b-rad's first attempt was on 1.11.14

I would first try the reset button on the bottom, and maybe pulling the power cord
see if you can get it to enter emergency flash mode

besides that we're probably looking at something like this http://forum.wdlxtv.com/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=9119&start=10#p73601

If I check in the usb drive I have a sysconfig.patched file, maybe it's the same thing described in the thread you linked...

When I push the reset button is it better to have the usbkey with the firmware plugged in or not?
When should I push it, when the screen goes balck or when the WD logo appears?
