RaspyFi won't boot

I installend both versions, the RC2 and the Beta from the forum, using win32diskimager, but neither of them will boot. I do not even get an output to my HDMI-display, so I cannot see, what's happening. I've done other projects from other images, and they all run fine, so "burning" the image isn't the cause.

I use the latest RPi version, burned the image to a Transcend 8gb Class 10 card (contents are visible on the card after burning). Attached are a Plasma TV via HDMI, a Logilink WiFi Dongle, LAN, Fat32 USB HD – only the USB DAC is missing, but that can't be the reason it's not booting, can it?

Any advise is more than welcome!

Remove the hard disk, and connect it to a powered USB hub

I have the same problem.
1. Had configured Raspbian and mopidy and it was working fine.
2. Flashed the card with Raspify and now it's not even booting.
3. The raspberry is connected to a receiver that is connected to a TV via HDMI ARC.
Edit: Same result when connecting directly to my computer monitor
4. The Raspberry is also connected to my network via ethernet.
5. Tried downloading and flashing image twice! First I thought the download maybe corrupted the image.
6. There doesn't seem to be any signal whatsoever on the HDMI output.
7. Tried to SSH with putty, but there was no response.
Edit: 8. Tried two different power sources as well.

Help… Cry

Do the lights on the Pi turn up? If yes don't worry, just go into the Webui and go to system, then Reboot

Now you should see the monitor turn up

My Pi boots happily with just about all images I've tried it with but it will not boot on this image. When I power up the Pi the red led turns on. But absolutely nothing else happens after that with this image on the SD-card, even the screen stays off and blank. My guess is the problem is this one with the newer Pi's with Hynix:

http://www.raspberrypi.org/archives/3534

My Pi boots happily on all images/dists I've tested but not RaspyFi 1.0 and not Squeezeplug 6.02. When it comes to Squeezeplug 6.02 the issue is the one mentioned in the link above. I do get Squeezeplug 6.02 working with a workaround of installing the latest Wheezy first and then Squeezeplug on top of that. The Squeezeplug image by itself will not boot. Neither the RaspyFi image.

Looking forward a lot to a solution so I can test / use RaspyFi 1.0 in my home Laugh

I see a constant red light, but I can't access the weubui. Which port is it on? I tried browsing to http://192.168.1.17:6680/raspify, also tried omitting /raspify. I get server error 500. Keep up the good work!

I had the same problem. The solution in my case was to use a differend sd card and then the image did work. It is strange because the sd card that wont boot used to work with the beta version but now also the beta wont't boot. I dont think the card is damaged because i can read it on my pc. Anyway my solution was to use another sd-card. hope this could be a solution

I seem to have found a solution:

1. Follow the instructions for flashing raspify.
2. Download the latest Raspbian Wheezy image and extract all the .elf files from it using e.g. the latest version of PeaZip (OR, if you trust me, you can download the files here: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B6GMsyByGsfdQXVXeV9tdk1lejg/edit?usp=sharing )
3. Replace the .elf files on your card with the files above. When doing this I ran Explorer as administrator, not sure if that's needed though.
4. Raspify now boots as promised!

Cool

Read above and if we get consistent feedback we'll make a tutorial and stick to the front page, or maybe do a new image

Im facing the same problem, so Im planning on replacing the elf files. This may be a stupid question, but how do you replace elf files with windows XP?
after I burn the image, I cannot see the contents of my card….
