Gen3 boot problem

[KAD]

well that's some really good news

so now you'll want to update the official firmware

once you're on official 2.02.32
and it's all stable

you should be able to run this http://forum.wdlxtv.com/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=9048
without any issues

Just a quick question.
I read that official 2.02.32 have issues playing mp4 files.
What if I want to update with the previous official firmware, 2.01.86?
How can I do that?
With an usb drive?

[KAD]

yeah, you just have to download the firmware from WD's site and put it on a USB drive

edit: WD's older firmwares can be a bit difficult to find on there website
here it is http://download.wdc.com/wdtv/wdtvlivegen3_rollback_2.01.86.zip

also if mp4's are an issue, then you should not run WDLXTV firmware
because it will have the same issues as official version 2.02.32

Thanks.
I noticed that the .zip you provided me has four files in it:
.bin
.bin2
.ver
.fff
On the WD site the instructions talk about a fifth file, the .info one.
Is it necessary?

[KAD]

I'm not 100% sure

but you'll notice that's an official wd download link, so it should be fine

[warrior6]

Updates flawlessly
I can confirm that the .info file isn't required, it contains the info about the firmware release and nothing more.

Thank you so much, KAD, you really helped me cleaning the mess I made.
I'm grateful for all the time spent and patience you had dealing with me
