I used a USB mouse to select the options as i had the same problems as you. The guide tells you i used a USB so yeah use a usb mouse.

The guide works 100% and is the method ive used over and over. And your the only one that has suggested otherwise. Follow it to the letter including the USB mouse and youll be good.

Yeah, probably would i just used a mouse

Hello, using a mouse I could make it work, it seems that GTMedia 4k has a soul or something, because it is capricious. I made the stick 1:1 with the image, go into recovery menu -> Apply update from ext -> udisk -> then go to Mars v3.3, the update is finished then I restart it, after it restarts the stick comes out in a screen where it says *Welcome* and at the bottom *Init. Failed..*

My question is why do we need the second zip file if we are not going to use it at all or should I install GTCOMBO_v2.0_C20.A9.1.29_20240620.zip and then GTcombo_Mars_V3.3.3_31072024.zip, because it makes no sense there, why would it not be there and as I understand from the tutorial you re installing Mars firmware not the other one, you never mention using the other zip or any contents from it.

Thank you for taking the time to read my long read. I swear I am not mentally impaired or smth, it seems like a very easy to follow tutorial I reformatted the usb stick several times, redo the process but every time the same end result.

That file is stock firmware, it is used to get into recovery mode and to then flash to the latest Mars.

Guide states this

2. Transfer GTCOMBO_v2.0_C20.A9.1.29_20240620.zip to the USB stick.
3. On the USB stick unzip the GTCOMBO_v2.0_C20.A9.1.29_20240620.zip to the USB stick also.

Try doing what you have just done without GTCOMBO_v2.0_C20.A9.1.29_20240620.zip. It wont work as it wont have the files from the stock GTCOMBO_v2.0_C20.A9.1.29_20240620.zip to use to get the box into recovery mode.

It worked I'm pleased for you

Hello

I've GTMedia Combo with Mars 3.3.9 Installed with Mars VIP.

I found some bugs that I would like to report :
1- when waking up from stand by , sometimes the picture lag and sometime there is audio delay , moving to another channel and returning solve it , but it's annoying.
2- when doing reboot or fresh boot , the last viewed channel is not remembered and the box start always at channel #0.
3- closing the tv and opening it multiple times while the box is on can make the picture of the channel lag , again I need to move to another channel and return to solve it.
4- sometimes the Mars server is not opening channels even though it says it's connected and internet is working , I have to reboot the box to make Mars open channels again.

how I can report these bugs to GTMedia or Mars development team so they fix it in next updates ?

Thank You.

They use Facebook or other social media channels nobody here on this forum can resolve those issues i'm afraid
you will simply have to wait for a new S/W Update and hope they will resolve some bugs that you describe .

sometimes the Mars server is not opening channels even though it says it's connected and internet is working

Did someone offer you some guarantee everything works all the time ??
IF So it for certain was not anyone on this forum , so i suggest you best start asking your Seller some questions or request a refund from your Supplier .
Also no need to Spam the same questions over and over again in various thread topics it is polite as a new member to make an intro post which you still have Failed to do .

 

[barney115]

Any way to add cline manually

Yes upload a cccam line with usb stick
or Type it manually in the Box Menu in Network C/S Protocol i take it you already have Mars s/w installed ,
please add some context to your question/s next time it will help if you give some details what you have tried and what you are trying to achieve .
Good luck : )

I understand that the Mars server can sometime stop opening due to different reasons , but I mean the server itself is connected and working but due to software bug the box need a reboot to open the channels again, so it's an operating system bug and not the server itself , because reboot make the channels open again , so it's not the server not working " i tried restarting the server and that did not help " , because the server is not the problem in my case.

Bonjour

J'ai GTMedia Combo avec Mars 3.3.9 installé avec Mars VIP.

J'ai trouvé quelques bugs que je voudrais signaler :
1- lors du réveil du mode veille, parfois l'image est décalée et parfois il ya un retard audio, passer à une autre chaîne et revenir résout le problème, mais c'est ennuyeux.
2- lors du réévaluation ou du démarrage à neuf, la dernière chaîne visionnée n'est pas mémorisée et la boîte démarre toujours à la chaîne n°0.
3- fermez le téléviseur et l'ouvrir plusieurs fois pendant que le boîtier est allumé peut entraîner un décalage de l'image de la chaîne, encore une fois, je dois passer à une autre chaîne et revenir pour résoudre le problème.
4- Parfois, le serveur Mars n'ouvre pas les mêmes s'il indique qu'il est connecté et qu'Internet fonctionne, je dois redémarrer la box pour que Mars ouvre à de nouvelles les chaînes.

comment puis-je signaler ces bugs à l'équipe de développement de GTMedia ou de Mars afin qu'ils les corrigent dans les prochaines mises à jour ?

Merci.

HELLO, thank you for reporting all the information, it scares me to really install MARS, especially the recent versions, there are too many bugs; but I believe you can still revert to a previous version or reinstall the original firmware. What is a shame is that GTMEDIA does not evolve in new update versions; I think the challenge is on the side of the Mars developers; thank you for sharing and for persevering, hi everyone!

BONJOUR je vous remercie de rapporter toutes informations, ça me fait peur d'installer vraiment MARS surtout les versions récentes il y a trop de bugs; mais je crois que vous pouvez encore revenir à une version précédente ou réinstaller le firmware original . Ce qui est dommage c'est que GTMEDIA n'évolue pas dans de nouvelles versions de mise à jour ; je pense que le challenge est du coté des développeurs de Mars; merci du partage et de persévérer, salut à tous !

 

[Enaki]

Salut,

Existe-t-il un firmware Mars pour GT X Combo ? Le firmware original est trop bugué et n'a pas été mis à jour depuis plus de six mois.

Good morning ! that's the problem with GTMEDIA boxes, they don't update

! c'est ça le problème avec les box GTMEDIA elles n'évoluent pas en mise à jour

Hello
I am using Mars 3.3.9 on the Gtmedia combo satellite receiver. I have a problem, especially when doing Blind Scan, it gets stuck on a frequency in the satellites and does not search. Has anyone encountered such a problem and what is the solution, if anyone can provide information, thank you...

This is an example, this happens on every satellite and it gets stuck.

Know fault reported many times but never fixed.

I work around is to delete the TP that freezes the scan and manually scan that TP once you have a complete scan.

Thank you very much for your interest, but even if I delete the TP, the same TP is automatically found in Blind Scan and the same error occurs again. A new situation has emerged. The 4.2.2 feed broadcasts that were shown with the original software do not show at all. If possible, how can I return to the original software? Please tell me.

They never worked well on original firmware.

But to revert back something like this should work.

1. Power down and flip your combo over and insert USB stick with original firmware on, i use the side USB port, now either short the points on the motherboard or press the reset button you can see through the cooling fins. Hold it pressed and power on the Combo while still holding the reset down.
2. Keep it pressed till the Android recovery screen appears.
3. Scroll down and select upgrade from EXT, long press on ok or in my case long left click on a usb mouse brings up a screen to select the firmware to upgrade to.
A long press on ok or in my case long left click on a usb mouse starts the upgrade.
4. When its finished flashing select reboot.

You are very right, in my opinion the original software is not good, but this software has many disadvantages, so it was a good experience, it is very useful to wait. Thank you very much for your support.
