Rescue Image Process
The application of the RetailPlayer runs on a removable flash memory card that comes in a microSD format. There might be cases where the
application cannot be loaded correctly anymore from the flash memory. In this case, it is possible to run a rescue process to restore the original
factory firmware on a new microSD. (i.e. if your device was shipped with firmware 5.2.0 and you were using 5.3.0, by doing this process the
firmware will be restored to firmware version 5.2.0 and all the settings reset to factory defaults, including network settings)
The procedure:
If your RetailPlayer device is powered, shut it off
Make sure the device is connected to internet. For this process to work the device will attempt a connection to Barix Download server via
HTTP (port 80), if successful it will download the rescue image from this server
While the device is off, press the reset button
Keep the button pressed while powering up the device (S400: connect the power cable / SP400: connect the ethernet cable)
Keep the button pressed in for 34 seconds after the device is powered
Release the button, the rescue process starts
The device restarts and the LED will blink orange indicating a FW update/downgrade process is in progress
When the LED will turn green (blinking or steady), reboot the device
Your device now is reset to default to the last Firmware released
