Doug Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 allaboutbuzz, I selected the manual download method to access the new VidStick+ FW/Software update. The file download went well, the VidSrick+device rebooted and installed the update without any problems. But after the install I have just the BussTV Logo centered on my TV screen. The VidStick+ is not responding to any of the keys on the BT-100 remote using the IR sensor at distance of 3 inches from the remote. It looks like the only option I have is to try a hard reset of the VidStick+. Are the instructions to preform a hard reset on the VidStick+ the same as shown in your VidStick ST 4000 hard reset youtube video (BuzzTV Global channel)? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doug Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 I watch the hard reset video and tried the hard reset steps three times (waiting each time more than 15 seconds); but still no change I have only the BuzzTV Logo on my TV screen. Again no response from the VidStick+ to any of the keys on the BT-100 remote. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're using a thumbtack or toothpick You should feel a button click as you're pressing it If you don't, then you're not pushing in the reset button properly.

And if the files corrupt It will never pass file integrity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdeens Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 I did a soft reboot (unplugged USB power) and it boots up fine, so apparently it never passed the “file integrity test” imo it may be advisable NOT to install it, until we read more success stories, because this is definitely not smoothly upgrading. it’s bricked some units and it’s not passing file integrity tests, that’s two big strikes against it. im not touching it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No change just tthe BUZZTV Logo. I’m having the same exact problem. I did the update. It went through the entire process, then upon reboot it’s just stuck on the Buzztv logo. Did the soft and hard reset like 10x each. Nope the logo still staring at me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it doesn't pass this check, it won't reboot to install anything Its your choice still to take the update or nlt though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
