Hi All Masters, I have tried many times to flash my Sf8008 through flashdrive by using many methods, such as, the original image zip file/unzip folder, connecting to the USB port at the side & back, sadly all failed. When I connect my flashdrive, I can see it could read my flashdrive but it just would not read the image file which I am totally puzzled about. Please Help.
Thank you
 
Supposing you have the two default images in slots 1 and 2, ATV and Define, and that you want to install a new one in slot 2 or 3 download the _mmc.zip of the image you want, do not extract the files from the zip and put it in a USB stick then you have two ways to install it:
1) go to the ricovery menu and choose to install the image from USB, choose the image from the list and the slot you want it in then follow the onscreen instructions.
2) second way, from ATV image: press blue button and choose Flash Online/downloaded images/choose the image and the slot then follow online instructions.

Hi B.D., thank you so much for your quick reply and sorry for not making this clear enough.
I boot-up in Recovery mode to flash an image but the image is not displayed when I select the option, “flashing an image” (can't remember exactly the correct full name of the option or on which number). However,I can see my flashdrive is connected to the box which is shown at the top of the screen.

Try downloading the first file, unzip it, and load the octagon folder onto a FAT32 formatted USB stick

Just came across this guide:
To load an image on an Octagon SF8008 receiver, you'll need to use a USB stick and the recovery menu. First, ensure the receiver is powered off. Then, insert a USB stick with the image files into the rear USB port. Next, power on the receiver while holding down the front standby button until "updt" appears on the display. This will boot the receiver into the recovery menu. Select "Recovery from USB" and follow the on-screen instructions to complete the flashing process.

There are also some videos, on youtube.

Are you trying to load the image to the receivers flash memory or using the multiboot option?
