skyBOX f5S - STUCK ON LOAD AND NOW E001 AFTER UPGRADE

[meetsani]

Hi, I have this skybox F5s which was working fine for many years. 1 day it stopped and every time I start it loads until 100 and then restarts.

I have bought the rs232 null modem cable and have flashed with all the firmware I can find (official and clones) including some from f3s but all give me E001 error. Any help will be appreciated!

This is what the box looks like. Not too sure if its original or clone

I did quite a few of these years ago via rs232 and it always took me 4 or 5 attempts before it would connect and flash.They never flash first time but keep trying and it should work. All the files you need are here http://www.skybox.cc/down.asp?id=16.

Hi

I am looking for the latest firmware for an old SKYBOX F5S box which i am thinking of using and wondering if someone can help me locate this. I have tried the SKYBOC.CC website but this website does not load the correct information.

many thanks
