SOFT BRICK POSSIBLE IF YOU UPGRADE TO NEW FIRMWARE....

I should have waited too.. left XBMC to run over night to do the media update.. Box was locked up this morning..
Shut it down and now its stuck on the green man..
first time in ages had this happen..in fact not since the ATV3000 firmware upgrades..
thats why on that box went to Pivos firmware..
looks like another great upgrade from Geniatech.. wish they would test and test again before they release..
As they just manage to make people more pissed off with them..

Hows that button reset thing work?
I have tried a number of times.. unplug hold the button let go.. but still on the green man.. not going into recovery.
Looks like I am going to have to call then tomorrow and get my staff to yell at them,..

Unplug the device. Press the reset button and keep it pressed while plugging the power back. Wait until the led in the front becomes Green and then let go of the reset button.

yup doing that, but no joy.. looks like a brick at the moment..
I have tried going back to the 05-2013 firmware.. but may have to go back further as I am thinking it is looking for one file..
something like a update.img file.. not two of them..

Thier website is a mess the way they have links to firmware in the ATV1200 downloads..
you cant tell which one to use as they have mixed them up with M1 and M3 firmwares..

Edit: even trying to go back to a MyGica single firmware from 03-2013 is no go..
Its not wanting to go in to recovery..
going to get hold of their tech support tomorrow, I may have to do some sort of hard reset.

SO YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED>>>FLASH THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK<<<

Waiting on Support @ Geniatech to get back to me with a fix as contacted them this morning.
Hopefully they can work some magic.
