0.5.5 flash ipbox 9000 and scart output

Whenever I load the 0.5.5 flash version my scart display is unstable unlike the 0.5 version where it runs a wizard upon first boot and cycles through the display outputs.

Now the box just sits there after 5 mins expecting input which it never gets as I cannot see anything on the screen. How can I enable this in the 0.5.5 version or failing that is it possible to change output to scart via telnet?

I read a post about changing rcS file but that is read only in 0.5.5.


I understand that some people witch are using scart output on cuberevo with E2 can't see the bootlogo during restart/startup.
Here is a fix for that:
Edit /etc/init.d/rcS, find:
Code:
   echo "init stmfb"
   insmod $MODDIR/stmcore-display-stx7109c3.ko
   insmod $MODDIR/stmfb.ko display0=1280x720-32@50:12M:PAL:YUV:RGB;
and replace with:
Code:
   echo "init stmfb"
   insmod $MODDIR/stmcore-display-stx7109c3.ko
#   insmod $MODDIR/stmfb.ko display0=1280x720-32@50:12M:PAL:YUV:RGB;
 if  grep -q "config.av.videoport=HDMI" /usr/local/share/enigma2/settings; then
     insmod $MODDIR/stmfb.ko display0=1280x720-32@50:12m:pal:yuv:rgb;#HDMI
   else
     insmod $MODDIR/stmfb.ko display0=720x576-32@50:12m:pal:yuv:rgb;#SCART
   fi
Reboot E2, from now the boot logo will be visble.
The code was taken from Ducktales/PKT E2 for Kathrein

Any help would be really appreciated.
Thanks in advance

edit this file:
/usr/local/share/enigma2/settings

and find this line:
config.av.videoport=HDMI

change it to:
config.av.videoport=Scart

and save and re-boot :thum:

Whilst browsing various forums I came across two handy tips:

1) Firmware update using USB Stick:

i) Format USB stick using ext2 ext3 or fat32 not tested NTFS
ii) Copy firmware image over as usb_update.img and plugin to receiver.
iii) Power down box as you would normally using Flashtools, power up and keep standby button pressed in, when you see "booting" press the "up arrow" and you should see the usb stick led begin to flash and "USB UPGRADE". You may have to press "ok".
iv) Rest will be the same as a regular boot.

2) Changing default display output at boot:

i) power up box whilst holding standyby and menu together. You may have to hold it for a while.
ii) you should see SD-PAL, SD-NTSC and HDMI. Using up and down arrows scroll through to select suitable display. press ok to continue booting.

Lost link to original post from another forum.
