How to open BLI file?
An often recurring problem with Thomson Speedtouch Firmware Format is that BLI is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that BLI files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the BLI file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install Thomson Upgrade Tool
The first step is to check if the computer has the Thomson Upgrade Tool program installed. To do this, enter the name Thomson Upgrade Tool into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open BLI files.
Programs to open BLI file
Remember to download programs supporting BLI files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Thomson Upgrade Tool with BLI files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the BLI file to open in the Thomson Upgrade Tool application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the BLI file with the Thomson Upgrade Tool application.
Step 3. Update Thomson Upgrade Tool to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Thomson Upgrade Tool program with the Thomson Speedtouch Firmware Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the BLI file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the BLI file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our BLI file. Sometimes virus-infected BLI files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the BLI file. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair BLI file corruption.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted BLI files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the BLI file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the BLI file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the BLI file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
