If I had the details I would gladly help anyone to get themselves sorted.
Big difference between discussing such items on here & pointing someone in the right direction off forum by pm.

There's plenty of websites that discuss what he's looking for. There's no shortage of help here for people on the legal side of things. Enough warnings were handed out on a previous thread over the same issue. This thread was started off to keep things right and we are trying to stop it from going down the same road as before.

Enough said.

Maybe you'll highlight this line business in your first post and it may possibly keep the thread on track.

NEW E2 flashing procedure for Amiko 7162 (Alien2) (Golden Media Triplex)

Start with this
-download an E2 image
-I presume you do have a decompression application installed on your laptop/PC (7-zip or so)
-plug a USB memory stick into your PC/laptop
-format it in FAT32, using Windows capabilities (cursor on the device > right click > format > quick format > FAT32 > OK)
-double click on E2 image file - you should see (not always but most of the time) the content of the file - choose only the enigma2 folder and unpack it to the USB device you just formatted
-if the compressed file does not have enigma2 folder, then create one on your USB stick and unpack the two files needed for flashing (uImage and e2jffs2.img) into it
-unmount/eject the USB stick, take it out and go to your Alien1/2 receiver/multimedia centre

Preparation
-switch off your Alien1/2 using the switch at the back of A1/2 (electricity off, not just to Standby!)
-unplug all the USB devices from A1/2
-plug in your USB stick with E2 for A1/2 - at the BACK USB port, in Alien2 case

Flash it!
-press and hold the OK button on the A1/2 front panel, then switch A1/2 ON at the back, never letting go of the OK button
-display should show you various messages, the last one being “FORC”
-let go of OK button and press the V (arrow pointing downwards) button, just under the OK button
-when display shows “ENIG” > press the arrow pointing to the right (the ">" button), as you face A1/2
-you should see (briefly) "FACT" on your display, then U LD (it means "uploading"), then some numbers going fast (percentages of various parts of the image being uploaded)...
-wait between 5-10 minutes maximum (if it lasts longer something's wrong and you should repeat the procedure, possibly using a different USB stick, plus check the files are OK)
-when you see SUCC it means you "succeeded"

Finito!
-when you see A1/2 display showing "BOOT" take out the USB stick
-if A1/2 boots into the STANDBY mode (front display showing only the red lamp) then use your remote control unit (RCU) to start E2

Thanks to Gorski.

Guys i need some help.

A2 box 4months old went to black screen with sound only few days ago and remote wouldnt work. Checked around and found the answer was to select a different image which worked for 2 days until today and now i have black screen no sound when i boot in spark or enigma and remote or menu button on front panel wont let me do anything.
Have tried installing new image with usb stick but it doesnt load...after i boot spark and go to Fact all i see is T or IO on front panel.
Im pretty new to this but ive no idea whats wrong.
Greatly appreciate any advice

I have removed this image backup for legal copyright reasons.

Big Wex fan · 10-09-2014 10:49pm

Will this work with a Openvix S*y skin? I think it's called something like 'Fraggle's skin'.

I'm uploading a copy of my Hyperion 4 backup which has a few modifications.

Firstly it has the amixer audio boost script running so the audio levels are louder and more like Spark and other receiver levels.
You will no longer have to increase the volume levels on your tv to high levels and the fix doesn't distort the audio.

Secondly the extended keymapper is included so extra buttons can be mapped in the blue panel.
Its the same as the official inbuilt PKT keymapper but with added code.Thanks to data devil

The tuxtext.ttf file has also been replaced,the teletext font is alot more rounded,larger and easier on the eye ,unlike the inbuilt teletext which is designed for eastern european languages.

History Zap Selector is included ,handy for channel browsing .(Prev/Next Button)
Use Recall to switch between 2 channels.

Record Infobar is also included

I have also tweaked a few of the button configurations and settings .

The Vfd fix has been applied so newer boxes have a working display panel.

It is configured for 28e and Saorview ,all picons are installed as is an up to date channel list .
Autobouquets (most recent version) and Rats Bouquet Loader are installed if you'd prefer to use these .

The following plugins are installed and working well:
AutoTimer,AutoVolumeAdjustment,CacheFlush aka Clearmem,CrossEPG 0.8.1,CoolTVGuide v7.0 (opens on EPG) ,Rats Picons,RTE Player,1channel (latest version),IPTV Loader,TMDB,TVDB,Mediaportal,Airplayer and WebInterface

Oscam is installed and running,you just need to edit the oscam.server file.
Oscam port: 8888 user: root, pass: oscam
FTP: user:root ,pass:pkteam

Crossepg 0.8.1 is configured to update when the box is in standby .

Virtualzap is not installed as I am unhappy with its performance ,it is a memory hog.

It is running PLi-HD skin but there are a few other Skins to try if you dont like that.
The image is setup to use DHCP automatically and is also set for HDMI at 720p.
Saorview is tuned for Mullaghanish

This is an extremely solid image and very quick ,I have been running it for the last 3 months .
Many thanks to the PKT team,data devil, and other plugin developers who have put in sterling work with the different code involved in this backup.
Enjoy

Thinking of putting this image on my SAB triple box, I'll backup my channel list from the box first & reload it after new image is installed,..thanks, just have to recall how you do this as it's not like it was on the old dreambox.
**UPDATE** just got a 404 error on that link Zardos!

No, it's for the alien 2 only. Don't ask questions in this thread, it's for firmware only, there's a discussion thread for questions
