Why would you install an image that hasn't been supported for over 2 years and expect it to work ?
If you search on here you will find files you need to be able to boot to another image from BH.
HowTo Vu+ Multiboot in OpenBh 5.2

If you search on here you will find files you need to be able to boot to another image from BH.
Hello,
this is my first post on openbh.
I have a Vu Uno 4K SE with the newest VTI image running.
Because I am curious I would like to try out openbh.
These are the steps I would do:
1) Backup my current Vu image (15.0.2) to an usb stick.
2) Install OpenBh 5.3 on the Vu. Or is it better to use OpenBh 5.2?
3) Select MultiBoot Option.
4) Install OpenBh 5.3 on slot 1
5) Install my Usb Backup of VTI on slot 2. (Not sure if VTI 15.0.2 will work with Multiboot?)
Does this roughly make sense or am I overlooking something?
Many Greetings

OpenBh 5.3 is the one to use.
Your backup should restore to Slot 2, the only issue you might have, is getting out of the VTi image as it does not support mulitboot.
No turning the box off and on again it will just boot VTi again.
You will have to use the STARTUP_RECOVERY file from post 1, on the root of the usb, this will then let you boot to recovery image and from there you can select OpenBh again.
I don't think anyone has created another way to get out of the VTi image.

I don't remember: to add new slots, is it possible only starting the box by the STARTUP_RECOVERY procedure and a pendrive?
I've created 3 slots: if I understand correctly, this is the maximum allowed in flash, right?
It'd be useful, at this point of the new multiboot life, to have a proper guide.

Go to multiboot selector and press red to add more slots to usb.I don't remember: to add new slots, is it possible only starting the box by the STARTUP_RECOVERY procedure and a pendrive?

3 is the max allowed in flash, correct.

Oh... I've found out that, if no USB device is connected, you'll never know that, because the red button only displays "cancel".
Maybe it'd be more useful to show the "add extra slots" anyway and then, if no USB device is connected, just prompt an appropriate message there.
Otherwise, users will be looking around for such a chance.

If USB is connected then it will allow you to add slots, if no USB then there is no option.

Because I had to ask the forum just because I didn't see any options. And I had to know also that 3 slots are the maximum allowed for the flash slots.
Although I posted few messages, I'm an experienced user of enigma2 boxes and of OpenBh images.
I think that coders should be in the average user's shoes in order to make things as more linear as possible to the majority of people.
If red button would display always the Extra slots message, just warning about these two aspects, it make the GUI much more complete and effective, in my humble opinion.

I disagree, if the option was to show all the time, we would have many more users asking why there is an option available that they can not use.
It's a fine line and you can't keep everyone happy all of the time. I think the way it is now makes the most sense.
