I think those who update spark to latest version i.e. 2.61 will experience this from now-on. It's like time bomb in Amiko. It says "SW is illegal. Please contact your dealer" then it won't boot when you reboot.
Para cuando se os quede flipao el Amiko Alien(2), este metodo de recuperacion funciona (por lo menos en el Alien 1):
Bajaos la imagen:

Y luego con las instrucciones procedeis a recuperarlo, aqui pongo una traduccion del fichero leeme:
#####################################
# Uso de Spark Rescue Image #
#####################################
1. Formatea un Pendrive USB en FAT32
2. Copia la carpeta "spark" en el directorio raiz ("/") del pendrive
3. Apaga el receptor del boton trasero
4. Conecta el pendrive en el puerto USB del receptor (Usa el puerto USB trasero en el caso del Amiko Alien2)
5. Pulsa el boton [OK] del panel delantero del receptor
6. Mientras mantienes pulsado el boton [OK] enciende el receptor del boton trasero
7. Cuando aparezca 'FORC' en el display suelta el boton [OK]
8. Pulsa el boton [>] (derecha) y aparecera 'FACT' en el display
9. Pulsa el boton [OK] para empezar el proceso
Si aparece el error "T TO" or "7 70" en el display, reformatea el pendrive o usa otro diferente
If nothing works, not even "force", then:
Connect the receiver to your PC with Null-Modem (Cross-Wired RS232) cable
Open a Terminal application (Like PuTTY)
Select your COM port, set the baud rate to 115200 and open the connection
Turn the receiver ON
When you see the 'PK7105' prompt, copy the following command without the quotes ("") and press ENTER:
"set bootargs console=ttyAS0,115200 rw ramdisk_size=6144 init=/linuxrc root=/dev/ram0 nwhwconf=device:eth0,hwaddr:00:06:37:04:15:00
ip=192.168.40.83:192.168.40.19:192.168.40.1:255.255.0.0:lh:eth0ff
stmmaceth=msglvl:0,phyaddr:1,watchdog:5000 bigphysarea=6000"
When you see the 'PK7105' prompt again, copy the following command without the quotes ("") and press ENTER:
"nboot.i 0x80000000 0 0x00100000 ;bootm 0x80000000"
The receiver should boot to SPARK
Upgrade the receiver to the "spark_1.2.54 Europe" version (This is
important!)
just google for the word and you'll find the answer.
The boot loader of amiko alien is destroyed. You can see nothing with putty via rs-232.
What do you mean it is destroyed. Please explain.
Bootloader software is detroyed by timebomb from official software on clone box. There were many owner of clone box complain today that their box were dead after the message "SW is illegal, Please contact your dealer" shown on TV screen.
To my knowledge,I think you have to contact whoever you bought it from and have it fixed.
same with me...hope someone here can help me...tqWhat do you mean it is destroyed. Please explain.
