I havent’t used my Vero 4K+ for a while (years), and I wanted to try it today.
When I plugged it in I got a get a red light for a few seconds, and then it went black. Seemed like I got a response on the TV, but no image was showing. Tried several times.
I sourced another PSU (5V and 2A), but the same thing happened. I tried connecting to a Windows PC with USB-A-A, nothing happened on the white USB port, but the same thing happened on the other one.
Is it totally dead ?
The red light going off after a few seconds is a sign of a normal boot, so that is good. The device won’t show up on the PC if it’s booting normally.
It could be that your Vero is outputting a mode your TV cannot accept
Try reinstalling the latest version from Download - OSMC.

Thanks for a quick reply!
Now that you mention it, the HDMI signal is going through a receiver to the TV. I’ll try to connect it straight to the TV.
Yep, do that,
Thanks, I can confirm it is working when connected straight to the TV.
However, I can’t get it to work when connected to my receiver.
I’ve tried 1920x1080p 24HZ and 50Hz, 1280x720p and 4K (changed it in settings with HDMI connected to TV, and tried with HDMI to receiver).
The receiver is a Denon AVR-3100W, so it should handle (and has handled) many different resolutions.
That’s fine, sure we can help you make it work with the receiver. Do you know how to use SSH? We can get some logs with it connected to the receiver.
Ah, that sounds great!
Yes, I’m familiar with SSH. Which commands do I use to get the logs needed ?
grab-logs -A
And share the URL
Thank you, here is the URL:

EDIT:
I did a reinstall of OSMC, and here is new log:
Was the receiver one when you captured the log? It doesn’t seem to be on or the EDID was null.
Yes, the receiver was on.
Normally, when there is no signal sent to receiver (From xbox, or other appliances) there is a “Denon” picture on the TV, and when I turn something on it changes to whatever I turn on.
In this instance I see the Denon picture until I power up the Vero, and then it turns black (proof that receiver get´s a signal), and then after some seconds it goes back to my TV brands of “No signal”. I have a LG TV.
I did a fresh log grab now:

I´m unfamiliar with how EDID plays in here.
We don’t pick up any display capabilities from the AVR. I would check that you do with it connected directly to the display.

You could dump the EDID from it connected directly to the TV and use that one manually.
Thank you!
This is the EDID with the box connected directly to the TV.
How do I change the EDID manually when it is connected to the receiver ?

Save the current EDID as follows:
echo save bin edid | sudo tee /sys/class/amhdmitx/amhdmitx0/edid
Then move that edid file to /lib/firmware and it will be loaded automatically when Kodi starts.
You can verify it via SSH
I´m sorry to ask for baby steps here, it seems my SSH-skills is not sufficient.
This is what I tried:
**osmc@osmc**:**~**$ echo save bin edid | sudo tee /sys/class/amhdmitx/amhdmitx0/edid
save bin edid
First time I tried it I got no response, so I stopped it with “CTRL + C” (I´m on a mac), but the second time it showed me this,
Tried to move it:
**osmc@osmc**:**~**$ mv /sys/class/amhdmitx/amhdmitx0/edid /lib/firmware/edid
mv: cannot create regular file '/lib/firmware/edid': Permission denied
Tried with sudo
**osmc@osmc**:**~**$ sudo mv /sys/class/amhdmitx/amhdmitx0/edid /lib/firmware/edid
mv: cannot remove '/sys/class/amhdmitx/amhdmitx0/edid': Operation not permitted
osmc@osmc:~$ echo save bin edid | sudo tee /sys/class/amhdmitx/amhdmitx0/edid
save bin edid
When I tried this, it showed the correct information:
**osmc@osmc**:**~**$ nano /lib/firmware/edid
Then I tried to copy it:
**osmc@osmc**:**~**$ cp /sys/class/amhdmitx/amhdmitx0/edid /lib/firmware/edid
cp: cannot create regular file '/lib/firmware/edid': Permission denied
Lastly with sudo:
**osmc@osmc**:**~**$ sudo cp /sys/class/amhdmitx/amhdmitx0/edid /lib/firmware/edid
Tried to connecting it to receiver again, but same thing happened.
Tried to read with nano, while connected to receiver:
osmc@osmc:~$ nano /lib/firmware/edid

The file will be saved in the current working directory.
You can’t copy the EDID file from /sys like that. That save command creates a binary EDID which can be loaded properly.
If that doesn’t clear things up let me know.
Thank you, that cleared it up for me. What I did not understan was that it save it in the current folder I was in.
What I did was the following:
osmc@osmc:~$ echo save bin edid | sudo tee /sys/class/amhdmitx/amhdmitx0/edid
save bin edid
osmc@osmc:~$ ls
Movies Music Pictures 'TV Shows' edid
osmc@osmc:~$ sudo mv edid /lib/firmware
osmc@osmc:~$ nano /lib/firmware/edid

Unfortunately this did not help, same thing happened. I checked again with nano, and it shows this EDID.
Upload logs when it now is connected to the AVR to see if EDID modes are picked up correctly
What happens if you try:
sudo -s
echo load /lib/firmware/edid > /sys/class/amhdmitx/amhdmitx0/edid
