-

 [​IMG]


Here is the procedure to make a flashing of your Zidoo Z1000 PRO, it is easy and fast.

Useful if you need to go back to a previous FW


----------------------

NOTE :

About the .IMG file, choose the one for the Z1000 PRO and not for the Z1000.
​

----------------------

Here are the links for the Z1000 PRO IMGs

With Google framework version

----

Without Google framework version

https://mega.nz/file/bBcDkaqD#cfz5Zc-XPVXA0KW2-RqEvkeF02-3BV99YsHPBXFv0SU


----------------------

You need a USB key formatted in Fat32.

[​IMG]

Rename the .IMG file to "install" and copy it to the usb key which is formatted in FAT32

[​IMG]

----------------------

Make sure you do not have a USB flash drive or an internal or external hard drive connected to the Z1000 PRO before starting the procedure.

----------------------

You have a USB key in FAT32 and the file renamed to 'install.img', as well as a paperclip, we can start.

[​IMG]


Turn OFF the device with the switch on the back, place the USB stick on one of the USB ports and insert a toothpick or paperclip into the reset hole by pressing lightly (you will feel a click), and turn ON the device.

The Zidoo starts, ''UP...'' appears on the VFD, you can remove the toothpick or paper clip, then ''HELLO'' appears on the VFD....
​


HELLO will stay a few seconds on the VFD and Zidoo on the TV as well.

The flashing procedure will begin, the box reboot once finished and you have a brand new box, of course it will be necessary re-configure your box.

Here is a video




The box will reboot, the flashing is over.

-------------

it is possible that you have a pop up to do an automatic update, either you use the ''back'' key of the remote not to do the update or you accept it...it's your choice.

Personally I don't do it and I do myself the update with the last available FW afterwards.

--------------

I just did a Flash of my Z1000 PRO, and I didn't do the automatic update.


I have just transferred the last FW available ( FW 6.2.0 for now ) on the Zidoo forum in the ''Download'' folder of the Z1000 PRO and I am about to do the update.

For information :

I have not yet modified the options of the box, I will do it once the update finished.

Here is the way to do the update.



I have flashed and updated my Z1000 PRO with the latest FW available, I will now deal with the settings that best suit my equipment

See you soon

3 solutions to use the ''SAMBA SERVER'' option

3 solutions to have access to your Zidoo from your PC with the option ''SAMBA SERVER'' of your Zidoo device First part Here is my way to have the ZD_SAMBA available on my Network page. It's not recommended because of the lack of security as we use SMB1, but on my private network I don't think it's a problem, plus the performance would be better using SMB2... But so far all my video files and my test files like jellyfish are running without any problem. Open ''Windows features'' Go to ''SMB1.0/CIFS files sharing support'' and activate this function Reboot the computer Go to the ''Network'' page and do a refresh if needed ZD_SAMBA will appear and you will have access to your Zidoo and your storage units connected to it Obviously do not forget to activate the ''SAMBA SERVER'' in the options of Zidoo ​ ​ That's it & that's all 2nd part Here is another way to do it, it is proposed by Zido

  I present you the HT4.0 Widgets, we don't talk much about them and yet they are very useful. If you want to have categories such as ''Cartoon'' or ''Family'' or ''Documentary'' that you have created yourself and you want to see them in the main page, Zidoo offers this possibility with its ''Widgets''. --------- Here is an example I created 2 folders ''Concert'' and ''Manga'' in one of my sources and I want to have on the main page of HT4.0. it's easy to do, c lick on the widget with the "+" symbol to add a new widget by choosing a folder in one of your sources. In my GIF below, I add the folder ''concert'' and ''Manga'' and 2 new icons appear with a logo which is not to my taste. --------- No problem, by pressing the key ''Menu'' of the remote a pop up appears allowing you to change icon. Here's how to change using the &
