Debug firmware for HDR Fox T2 - working?

So I thought it would be a good idea to flash a HDR to the debug firmware for some diagnostics.
I found the debug kernels from the page https://wiki.hummy.tv/wiki/Firmware_Downloads

The odd thing is that after the firmware update, the HDR goes into a boot loop. It seems to just loop around the Humax loader screen and nothing more.
All 3 of the kernel debug CFW downloads seem to loop.
I have tried all 3 on 2 HDRs, same effect.
I have tried changing the loaders to see if makes a difference - it didn't.

I have since re-flashed to the latest CFW and all is fine now.
So if anyone has some spare time - can they verify they can use (or flash to) a HDR that has CFW with Debug Kernel?

Background info - I wanted try the debug kernel to see if may help diagnose a HDR that exhibits green screen issue. I tried these files with both a faulty HDR and a working HDR. I can't get around the boot loop issue.
 
The same problem was reported here which was after the release of 3.13k. Maybe the latest debug kernels have never worked, or some additional config is needed.

Thanks for that - I didn't search properly before posting.
I managed to find one that booted ok, but it doesn't show anything of significance regarding the HDMI output

(What is?)
HDMI is managed by the settop program rather than the kernel. According to some Chinese bloke -- Sam (Zhen Feng) -- who wrote this up in his blog when it was current:
Code: 
NEXUS_PlatformSettings platformSettings;

NEXUS_Platform_GetDefaultSettings(&platformSettings);

//.... Modify the necessary settings

NEXUS_Platform_Init(&platformSettings);

//... Get output handles (among other things)

NEXUS_PlatformConfiguration platformConfiguration;

NEXUS_Platform_GetConfiguration(&platformConfiguration);

//... The HDMI o/p handle is the 0th element of platformConfiguration.outputs.hdmi[NEXUS_NUM_HDMI_OUTPUTS]
...
Then the settop program can mung the HDMI o/p with these calls (linked from the program to the NEXUS shared library):
Code: 
NEXUS_HdmiOutput_GetAudioConnector
NEXUS_HdmiOutput_GetBasicEdidData
NEXUS_HdmiOutput_GetCecConfiguration
NEXUS_HdmiOutput_GetCecMessageInfo
NEXUS_HdmiOutput_GetCecStatus
NEXUS_HdmiOutput_GetHdcpStatus
NEXUS_HdmiOutput_GetSettings
NEXUS_HdmiOutput_GetStatus
NEXUS_HdmiOutput_GetVideoConnector
NEXUS_HdmiOutput_HotplugCallback
NEXUS_HdmiOutput_ReceiveCecMessage
NEXUS_HdmiOutput_SendCecMessage
NEXUS_HdmiOutput_SetAVBlank
NEXUS_HdmiOutput_SetAudioMute
NEXUS_HdmiOutput_SetSettings
NEXUS_HdmiOutput_SetTmdsSignal
Incidentally, has anyone tested what happens with the green screen if you let the box boot with analogue video and connect the HDMI later?
