Not from the link on this page:

That one seems to be working for me.


If you are upgrading now though, I would strongly advise you to step up to the latest 19.3 series firmware.

This is currently technically still in beta, but it is stable and known to work well.
This will become official in the not too distant future.

The public 17.5 series firmware doesn't have any of the latest channel icons, and won't receive any further updates.

Earlier today there were some problems accseesin gthe forum, now fixed. Perhaps there was the same issue on the BW pages, too.

Thx MrQuade ..lol I found a stable beta of 17.5 which is upgrading now I'll upgrade to the 19.3 once it finishes. I'm assuming 19.3 is full usb upgrade?

I'm assuming 19.3 is full usb upgrade?

Yes. Though if you're upgrading to a 19.3 firmware, you'd probably be best to go straight to the most recent USB version, 20191022.

Thanks Peter, I'll download that ine.

A question: I started upgrading to 17.5 before I knew of the 19.3 series and it started ok Booting, Transfer but its been showing "Creating ha" on display now for about an hour. Is that expected or has something gone belly up?

Yea, that's failed. The flash process should only take 5 minutes or so.

Not sure what "ha" is that it was creating off the top of my head though.

Just retry the process with 19.3 and see how you go.


Just a note though. Have you had the power supply replaced or refurbished in that T3 yet? Almost all T3's power supplies will die due to capacitor failure. The usual symptom is getting stuck during boot with "Beyonwiz T3" showing on the front panel.

If yours hasn't yet been replaced, you may have a unit that's on the verge of failure, and the flash process may be affected.

Thanks again.

I have had the power supply die and had the capacitor replaced about 4 months ago, hasn't had any issues since.

Just the one replaced, or did you get it fully serviced with a complete capacitor swap?
The way these supplies fail is that one capacitor will generally fail while the others are still teetering on the edge of failure, but otherwise still working.
You get the failed one replaced, and then the other start dropping off shortly after.

Only the one.

Drop warkus a line to get it fully repaired I reckon.

I can now access the download link for the T3 firmware on the Beyonwiz downloads page.

I can now access the download link for the T3 firmware on the Beyonwiz downloads page.

Yes, that's 20190207, whereas I believe jangles was attempting to download 20180417 from the topic "New Firmware for (T2/T3/T4/U4) 17/04/2018". The firmware links in that topic give rise to a 404.

You're right, and that link is still giving 404 Not Found.

That 17.5-series firmware from last year appears to have been deleted, leaving only the 20190207 version for those models that had it released - http://beyonwiz.com.au/firmware/

[MrQuade]

If you recall, PeterU cleaned up all the archived firmware versions for previous major revisions as there was little point in keeping obsolete versions of mature firmware series around.

Yep, but I thought he was referring to his own server.
4.4's 20151104, 20160419, and 20160817 are still available from feeds.beyonwiz.org

[peteru]

I don't have any access to beyonwiz.com.au

I was going to remove old versions on my server, but have not done that just yet.

So, any broken links are definitely not my doing.
