any solution

make a folder on your desktop and download the attached file and unzip to the new folder. Then go here and download the latest firmware (first one on page I think) and put in the same folder you have just created.

Now, open the newly unzipped EromUpgrade tool. Make sure all com settings are the same as your rs232 settings on your computer, best results with COM PORT between 1 and 4, BITRATE 115200, PARITY Even, OPERATION MODE Upgrade, FILE Select the new firmware you have downloaded, click the box to add a tick to INCLUDE BOOTLOADER.

Now heres the bit that normally confuses people. Make sure your box is unplugged from the power, but make sure it is connected to your rs232, when you have setup the above parameters, click next and it should say reset your box, NOW plug the power into the back of the box slowly and it should say DONE on your screen and the process should start, it takes about 15 minutes in total. good luck

A quick note to say thanks to crmorris2.. excellent guide.. and now a working box again.. interest to note that re-flashing the EEprom, that my Nline was not overwritten.. must dig into this when I have time..
 
A quick thanks to crmorris2.. this work a treat.. curious that the N-Line still worked after the re-flash.. so guess its stored in a different memory area.. must have a look at this when I get time..

cheers
 
Hi
I have the same issue, I tried to update the box with a new channel list from AJsat and now my box is stuck on load. I have not got any experience in upgrading the box so any help would be appreciated. can anyone post a link to a guide and also confirm the type of cable needed to complete the upgrade. I have a v8s box.
Thanks
Matt

Cheers 4 the help bud
 
Thanks - just posting so I can download the tool!
I've tried tools from the skybox website and they don't seem to work so hopefully this will.

FFS why the hell are these silly rules that you must have so many posts before doing something (couldn't quote a previous message)?
