RPi Wont Boot without HDMI Safe Mode - kingblah - 27th Jul, 2014 09:39 PM
Hey,
Hopefully someone can help! I'm new to the world of Linux so bear with me please.
I installed Xbian using the windows installer (the mac installer refused to work and seemed to think the write switch was enabled for some reason). However when I plug the card in and power up the Pi, my TV doesn't detect any signal via HDMI. It's not the cable as HDMI worked fine with Raspbian.
I then read some forum articles which suggested using the hdmi_safe option in config.txt, but this seems to result in Xbian having a horribly low resolution. Any ideas??
Software
XBian version: 1.0 beta 2 (also tried RC 2)

As this is a model B+
1) See if you have a better PSU - 1amp is not enough for the B+ with USB devices attached.
2) Have you upgraded to the latest kernel - See forum (Search for Raspberry Pi B+)
3) Try the latest "B+" image: http://forum.xbian.org/thread-2400.html
