My box is stuck on the update for 30 minutes, I get a download fail message.

do it on your own risk. if you can exit out then fine and try to download again if not then I would turn off box, turn back on again and try again and see if that helps. it should not take that long. hopefully you will be able to update without any problem. good luck and let us know how that goes.:)

Trying to start my Dol2 but every time I start it brings me to software update and I cannot get further. What else can I do
 
Trying to start my Dol2 but every time I start it brings me to software update and I cannot get further. What else can I do

can you go to setting, software update, type 0227 and press red button and download/install new update? if not then I would factory reset the box but do it on your own risk and make sure to save all donation info.:)
 
When I got to software update I did press 0227 then red button. But there is no download/install new updates. Just the same screen. And I cannot get inside my dol2 to view my donation info.

do you have your donation id, email, donation number...etc saved somewhere else? if yes then you can factory reset and then use your donation info on your provider site to retrive your portal info...etc.
 
what might be happening is the box is telling you that there is also a new version app for the DNS setting which is to connect to the update server.
So go ahead and click on the update again and after it is complete or ends up back at that same screen, do the update again but this time we want to see a message appear about New Update 1.1.1.1 and then that should change to New Update 2.0.0.0

another thing too which the devs recently changed is when there is a new firmware or DOL/MOL update and even after you have updated, the release notes for that update will stay on screen instead of dissapearing after the update, as they use to before.
This is so a person can refer to the release notes even after the update has been installed.
So if you can exit that update screen without proceeding to the update, then that would work too.

I am told that they will be changing this and the release notes and the update message will dissapear after the update has been done and a shortcut option will be added so you can choose to see the release notes if wanted
