[HOW TO FLASH] how to flash EVO X Combo




The EVO X Combo (often referred to as the Optibox EVO X Combo or simply the EVO X) is a dual-tuner Enigma2 receiver. Like the other EVO models you’ve documented for enigma2.net, the flashing process depends on a specific folder name to trigger the update from your USB drive.
1. Prepare the USB Drive

  • Format: Use a USB 2.0 stick (max 8GB is ideal) and format it to FAT32.
  • Download: Get the Enigma2 image (e.g., OpenATV) specifically for the evoxcombo.
  • The Folder Path: Extract the ZIP file. The root directory of your USB must be:

    • USB_ROOT/evo/xcombo/

  • Verify Files: Ensure the xcombo folder contains kernel.bin, rootfs.bin, and imageversion.

2. The Flashing Procedure

  1. Power Off: Shut down the receiver using the power switch on the back.
  2. Insert USB: Plug the stick into the rear USB port.
  3. The Boot Trigger:

    • Turn the power switch back to ON.
    • Immediately watch the front panel display. When “USB” or “CONF” appears, quickly press the POWER button on the front panel of the receiver.

  4. Wait for Progress: The display will show “FLSH” or a progress bar. This usually takes 3–5 minutes. Do not interrupt the power.
  5. Finish: The receiver will reboot automatically. You can remove the USB once the setup wizard appears on your TV.
