:-( on my Apple TV 1 after update

After the latest update my box is totally gone. It doesn’t stop to reboot and the only thing that I can see is this sad face
: - (

I tried some directory from other post but nothing look work.
please HELP!

Possibly related to Error installing: atv-image-4.2.3-17-osmc (17) which you also had before.

But without logs, no one knows

This mean I need a new box? No hope?

No – you do not need a new device.

So how can I have my OSMC back?

Login via SSH and provide log files as Sam suggested than we can try to help you

Now it look that I can login in the forum but I cannot login on ssh. When I write my password it say “Permission denied, please try again.”
I’m tired. I will try again tomorrow.

Logging into your box has nothing to do with the forum.

Details regarding how to access the command line interface can be found here on our Wiki: Accessing the command line - General - OSMC

I certainly have a password problem!

You are running those commands on your laptop rather than the Apple TV after the SSH connection times out.

This is what I get with a new remote connection. (thank you very much for follow me and try to help me!)

You need to copy lines individually.

is the line I copied and the rest is what it came out (whole together)

That is 3 separate lines, each should begin with sudo.

There are three lines here:
sudo umount /boot
sudo fsck.hfsplus -f /dev/sda1
and
sudo mount -o force,rw /dev/sda1 /boot
You should enter them individually, like Sam said.

Laura_Major:

The commands are slightly different, depending how where OSMC is installed

Question… Do you have OSMC installed on the internal harddrive in your Apple TV ?
Or do you have it installed on USB stick ?

osmc@osmc:~$ sudo umount /boot
osmc@osmc:~$ sudo fsck.hfsplus -f /dev/sda1
** /dev/sda1
** Checking HFS Plus volume.
** Checking Extents Overflow file.
** Checking Catalog file.
** Checking Catalog hierarchy.
** Checking volume bitmap.
** Checking volume information.
** The volume untitled appears to be OK.
osmc@osmc:~$ sudo mount -o force,rw /dev/sda1 /boot
osmc@osmc:~$

It really enjoy to do me the sad face! (internal hard drive)

Laura_Major:

That looks good :slight_smile:
(Those commands are correct for an Internal hard drive)

Now you need to make sure the upgrade was completed.
