I’m getting the rainbow image when I boot rasplex 0.7.0. I can boot other OS’s without issue using the same power supply, SD card, etc. The problem is ONLY with rasplex.
I’m creating the card using GetRasplex and selecting:
Device = Rasperry Pi2
Version = 0.7.0
I download the image and then write it to the card. I don’t get any errors during these steps.
The 0.7.0.img.gz file has a checksum of:
8c33b9750344ed39dc6fcfdbd8704f49
…which appears to be the same as the image for the older pi.

The file name is wrong, you are using the old version of GetRasplex, please download the latest version from here Releases · RasPlex/rasplex-installer · GitHub. With the latest version the downloaded file names look like this:
RasPlex-RPi.RP-0.7.0.img.gz or RasPlex-RPi2.RP-0.7.0.img.gz
I downloaded GetRasplex.exe from… http://www.rasplex.com/get-started/rasplex-installers.html
…on 7/31/15 and tried it. Now, the same link sends me to the github link you gave above and indeed the downloaded rasplex image is different.
I’ll give it a try. Thanks for your quick response!

Did this fix your issue, if so can you mark the topic as answered, thanks.
Having same issue here… tried 3 times… rainbow screen on boot. RPI2. Is this the “first boot” delay that is mentioned in the faq? Maybe we aren’t waiting long enough on the rainbow?

No, the rainbow screen should only be there momentarily. Did you use GetRasplex to create the SD card? Is the card a Class 10? Are you using a minimum of a 2A power supply with a decent USB cable?
FWIW… I just installed the image above with the Getrasplex installer (instead of clicked the “download” button), and it worked, albeit the boot logo is wonky.
I am new to rasplex and I had this issue too, seem the 7.0 installer linked on GitHub was downloading the RPi image even though I told it I wanted RPi2 image, I downloaded manually in the end and used win32 disk imager instead.

Wonky ? Please be more specific.
If anything is wrong with the display appearance during boot, then you can rest assured that later operation also suffers from other corruption problems. Something must be wrong with that flashing or the card itself.
So at this point it becomes important to know the answer to the questions Ned asked you earlier.
Is your SD card Class 10 (or UHS-1) ?
If not, then it needs to be replaced.
Is your RPi PSU rated to 2 Amperes of current or not ?
If not, then it may need to be replaced. (1.5 Amps might do, but no lower.)
And the PSU cable may need to be replaced if it has too high resistance.
(Some USB cables are unsuitable for PSU connection.)
Hi there. I have the same issue. Everything works like a charm before my SD card has been corrupted. I flashed the lasted RPI2 release to a brand new Sandisk HC1I Class 10 (same as before) and get the beautiful rainbow screen. Hardware is still the same included 2A power supply.
I tried flashing using Getrasplex or Win32diskimager without success.
Cheers
@khaki54:
I’ve been told that this problem may be caused by use of the command buttons to refresh list or update links.
Apparently these (or one of them at least) will reset the download image choice to defaults without reflecting this in the selection box, so it may appear as if the RPi2 image still is selected though an internal pointer was reset to use the RPi1 image.
This problem is easily avoided by always repeating the manual selection of device type and image version after using either of those refresh/update buttons.
Since we are now aware of it, this should be fixed in the next release of the GetRasPlex installer.
