Hi,
I’m beginning to explore the upgrade options for my Foxsat HDR. I’d almost given up on the USB interface until I found this site.
I have a Phillips-4Gb drive that is simply ignored by the STB. I bought a SanDisk-2Gb (Cruzer Edge) drive yesterday which IS recognised (progress!), but fails to execute the upgrade when I reboot.
Before I buy anymore duff USB drives, can anyone tell me which drives they have successfully used to upgrade the firmware?
Thanks.
Hello nasher, I flashed my HD Fox T2 with a 4GB TDK Trans-IT stick. There seem to be a few different versions of it though. Looks like the one in the picture I've uploaded.

I have the same problem as nasher. I tried a couple of sticks but neither worked and I don’t want to buy another without reasonable confidence it will work.
I have used the following branded/unbranded with no issue:
Kingston
Corsair
SanDisk Cruzer
My Memory own brand
Various capacities from 2 to 8 Gigs
Thanks Barry. Sounds like I was just unlucky. I tried a Danelec 4gb and a Buffalo 64mb (how old!).
I’ll try one of your list.
Thanks everyone for the replies – it’s good to hear that I’m not alone with this problem.
Barry – I have a SanDisk Cruzer (Edge) USB drive, formatted as FAT (or maybe FAT32). Do you use the windows or linux format for your drives ..?

Windows – FAT32

Windows – FAT32
Do you use the default cluster size?
Success ! I think the problem was with the filename on the USB drive.
The STB will recognise the Sandisk Cruzer Edge drive (but not the Phillips grrr). When I got that far I tried the official FOXSAT-HDR_upgrade_10017.hdf upgrade from http://beta.humaxonline.co.uk/downloads/foxsat-hdr (just to be on the safe side).
That didn’t work, so I just tried the FOXSAT-HDR_upgrade.hdf file from Raydon (thanks Raydon) and it booted 1st time!
So I guess it’s the filename that matters.
Thanks everyone for your help

Yes the filename is critical – you skipped looking at the Humax link telling you to rename the file.
Yep – a schoolboy error on my part.
I guess the moral of this story is that if the STB recognises the USB then it’s happy to boot from it – would you agree ?
No – The Humax application seems happy with nearly all USB sticks. The loader is much more fussy.
