        I tried downloading a Hyper-V image and replaced the hs_main file with the hs_main file from the Experte 4.3 (install Experte 4.3, look at the directory structure, you’ll find the firmware of the HS3 and HS4. unzip/unrar it…. unzip/unrar again.. see the /hs/ directory and find the hs_main file)

          Hi,

          Thank you very much for your reply.

          I Unzip/unrar the firmware.dat and the first INITRD.
          But i couldn unrar/unzip the second INITRD. So i didnt get a hs_main file out.

          By updating via the Expert Prog. the HS VM restarts again and again.

            Ronny, You can use Winrar to unpack the firmware.dat file and use 7-Zip to unpack the INITRD file.

              Hi,

              Unfortunatly after a manual update or via the Experte software the HS VM is stacked in infinite reboot loop, it reboots and reboots.

              The old backed up VMs a working fine.

              what can be the probleme?

                Make sure you ‘chmod 755 ‘ the files you copied. Otherwise it won’t have the execute permission and the HS will reboot infinite..

                  Could you make a VMware image of the 4.3 by chance?

                    Hello there, I made manual update HS4.2 to HS4.3, overwriting the files from /hs /lib /usr directories by the files from firmware file,

                    upload firmware.dat to HS eg /home/temp directory

                    a) rename firmware.dat file to firmware.zip
                    b) extract INITRD file from firmware.zip (eg unzip)
                    c) rename INITRD to INITRD.gz
                    d) gzip -d INITRD.gz
                    e) cpio -i < ./INITRD
                    f) copy listed directories (/hs /lib /usr) to /
                    g) restart HS, upload new project

                    regards,

                      I’m not too good with linux commands.
                      How exactly do i copy the directories once i have the INITRD.gz unpacked?

                        I actually figured it out now and got it working.
                        Though i still can’t save colors in the RGB color picker even though Gira siad, that was fixed in the update.

                            you should copy directories and files (/hs /lib /usr) from unpacked initrd
                            file, to / (root directory)
