Err4_ Flash Fail or can't find platform object

Don't know what that means mate , have you checked in the em to see if your net id , freq etc are correct?

Err4_ Flash Fail or can't find platform object (found from the err codes sticky). Try a forced update on the box, hold standby and press the buttons on the right from top to bottom so that the LCD screen says 4321 and press OK. Make sure you have the cable feed in when you do this.

tryed the forced update mate, also it wont let me into the engineers menu just does this updating wont let me do anything, its strange

let it run it's course , if all else fails use Libby to do the net id again ( after removing the jumper and shorting the batt. ) I had a 2110 that got stuck in a loop and ended up being shot with a 12 bore ( so much fun

) . At least you have the advantage of Libby on this one mate.

I’ve had that err4 with my pace before, I’ve pulled the red jumper and done the funcard trick and let it update seem to have done the trick m8, all working again.

hi
what do you mean by the funcard trick mate?

Well when you pull the red jumper the box reset the net ID, Pin, Frequency, so I did the funcard to set the Net ID and Pin, the freq you can set manualy.
