Bronze Member Username: TritipPost Number: 23 Registered: Apr-06 | Is it important to always flash the factory bin file back to the receiver every time you install a new Norw bin file. The receiver that I'm talking about is a cool*sat 5000. |

Locate the 2.2 Coo***lsat loader & recent Flash, Those can be found in the files section of the forum. click here: If you're going to use a channel list, it's recommended that you find one that closely matches your setup, is from your area, and it is saved in .ndf format. Download all required files and unzip before attempting to flash to your Receiver. There are different ways you can flash your receiver. You don't need any connections to the Receiver other than a RS232 serial cable for Flashing! You may flash the unit with or without the other cables connected! It's your personal preference! Just make sure that you power down before connecting\disconnecting any cable. This practice could limit the possibility of causing damage to the Switch, LNB, or receiver! Some instructions recommend you Flash the unit and turn ON back switch only! This is mainly recommended to prevent premature disaster. This is a good method to use when flashing your unit, with the unit being disconnected from the LNB cable. IF you leave your unit connected to the TV and LNB cable when flashing, it's preferred to turn ON the back switch and front power button. This gives you access to the menu, so you can do the factory set and continue to load the channel list without having to connect the unit between flashes! You must let the receiver fully boot up before flashing. If you suspect anything wrong with your LNB's, Switch, or LNB cable then disconnect the LNB cable. Voltage feedback from a short could fry your receiver. Cool***sat 5000 Platinum requires a RS232-Straight through serial Cable! Cool***sat 4000 Pro requires a RS232-Straight through Serial Cable! Cool***sat 4000 Plus requires a RS232-Null Modem Cable!] USB to Serial Adapter will work; make sure you configure your settings in your computer and loader! You may also use a Gender Changer to convert your cable as needed! All Cables must be Female to Female! Loading your Coo***lsat!! You can flash your receiver over any existing bin. I choose to save my current channel list and perform a database reset- factory set before loading a new bin. If you are to start fresh, those steps are not needed. Be sure to use a Mod approved BIN that is current and is made for the correct receiver! There are bins for the 4000 & 5000! 1.) Turn OFF back switch on Receiver, then hook up the RS232 standard serial cable. 2.) Turn ON the back switch of Receiver, then power ON using your remote, let your receiver fully boot up. 3.) Open your Coo***lsat 2.2 loader. By default the loader will open in the "software" tab, Make sure "to receiver" is checked, then click on "browse" and locate your unzipped flash you previously downloaded. 4.) Change your Comport setting if needed and click on "Auto Detect", a window will open showing your previous Flash and active comport. --If your getting an error, "Connect your Receiver" then check to make sure your receiver is connected and back switch is ON, make sure your using the proper RS232-Cable. You can reboot your pc and see if it helps! --If you're getting an Error "Invalid File" then more then likely you're using the wrong bin, or you haven't unzipped the file! --If you are getting Comport Switching then check the device manager in your pc and set an active comport! 5.) If everything is ok click on "connect", a window will open displaying the current Flash in the receiver, then click "start". 6.) You will see the loader go through a couple different stages ---system reset---sending to 100%---sending ok 100%---then Erase until 50%, and write to 100% DO NOT INTERRUPT THIS PROCESS!! If you must for some reason then it's better to do it before the writing process! 7.) Your receiver will display FFFF and reboot when finished. A window will open in the loader displaying "Finish" it's always good to wait 5-10 sec's before clicking finish. 8.) Now click on "Finish", a window will open displaying your previous Flash, close the window and click on "Auto Detect" now you will see the current Flash just loaded! You have just flashed your receiver and if you are going to load a channel list then don't disconnect anything just proceed to the next steps "Factory set" "Installation Options" then "Loading channel list" Other wise turn off front power button & back switch, unhook your RS232 cable or leave the RS232 cable connected for next time, it's your personal preference. FACTORY SET!! You must do a Factory Set after loading a new flash. This will properly initialize and replace your previous flash with the new one just loaded. If this is a new receiver setup then you will notice the Nimiq 1,3 or Nimiq 2 sats are not in your satellite list until a Factory Set is completed. The Facory Set will load the default channel data contained in the bin software. The default data contains satellite information including names and transponder frequency's. The Epg is dependant on this information and will work best when this is done. 1.) Push Menu on remote 2.) System Setting 3.) Database Reset 4.) Factory Set and press OK on remote. The Factory Set will delete all channels and settings. After doing the Factory Set you will need to pick a language and go to Dish Setting and configure your setup! Once done then proceed to Auto Scan and scan with Network Search on DISH SETTINGS!! This is very important to know your dish setup, Lnb(s) and switch(s) being used. If you do not know this info then proceed to the bottom of this manual and there are links to help you determine which setup type you have! One easy way to determine which type of lnb(s) you have is to look at the label, if you see a DP logo or Dishpro logo then you have Dishpro Lnb's, if you do not see this logo then most likely it's a Legacy Lnb. Next would be to look at the # of ports on the Lnb. 1.) Push Menu on remote 2,) Go to Installation and if prompted to enter a password use 0000 or 0103 (master Pin) 3.) Go to Dish Setting and choose your satellite to be setup. Legacy Single or Dual LNB's using a 4x1 Diseqc switch: Echostar 7 --119.0W LNB Power: on LNB Type: Single LNB Frequency: 11250 22Khz: off Diseqc Switch: 1.0 Committed: 1 -------You may use different port # Legacy SW: off Echostar 6,8 --110.0W LNB Power: on LNB Type: Single LNB Frequency: 11250 22Khz: off Diseqc Switch: 1.0 Committed: 2 -------You may use a different port # Legacy SW: off No need to assign certain switch settings and you may setup to any ports you like as long as they match your Committed settings! People do like using 119 committed 1, 110 committed 2, and 91 committed 3 etc... For Dish Pro type lnb's: Echostar 7 -119.0W LNB Power: ON LNB Type: OCS-DIP LNB Freq: 11250 22Khz: Off DiSEqC Switch: 1.0 Committed: 1 Legacy SW: Off Echostar 6,8 -110.0W LNB Power: ON LNB Type: OCS-DIP LNB Freq: 11250 22Khz: Off DiSEqC Switch: 1.0 Committed: 2 Legacy SW: Off If using 1 DP Twin or quad and no other lnb's or switch involved then you may run one cable straight to receiver then set your dish settings as displayed above! Make sure your switch settings and dish settings are set to the following ports 119- Committed 1 and 110- Committed 2! ***If adding another lnb then you must run 2 lines from your Twin or Quad lnb to a switch with the same dish settings, then your other lnb would go to committed 3 and committed 4!*** Depending on your setup you can use a diseqc switch, Dp21, Dp34, Dp44 switch. No matter which Dishpro Lnb assembly is used, you may add up to a max of three dp34, Dp44 switches with a max cable distance of 200 feet from the LNB assembly to the furthest receiver! For Legacy Twin or Quad with no switch: Echostar 7 -119.0W LNB Power: ON LNB Type: Legacy Twin LNB1----OR----Legacy Quad LNB1 LNB Freq: 11250 22Khz: Off DiSEqC Switch: OFF Legacy SW: Off Echostar 6,8 -110.0W LNB Power: ON LNB Type: Legacy Twin LNB2----OR----Legacy Quad LNB2 LNB Freq: 11250 22Khz: Off DiSEqC Switch: OFF Legacy SW: Off If running one cable straight to receiver with no switch involved then set your dish settings as displayed above! Make sure your switch settings are set to the following ports 119- LNB1 and 110- LNB2! ***If adding another lnb then you must run 2 lines from your lnb to a diseqc switch then setup is the same but your other lnb would go to committed 3 and committed 4!*** When setting your "Dish Setting" you will see a signal meter on the bottom of the screen: Level: [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] 94% Quality: [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] 99%----You want your quality over 80% Most importantly you will see an Satellite ID Banner at the top right corner of the screen, it must match the satellite you're setting up! If it's not matching try switching your committed settings, if it still won't match then most likely it's not pointed to the proper satellite or you may have a connection problem with your switch, cable, LNB, or connectors. AUTOSCAN 1.) Menu 2.) Installation 3.) Go to Auto Scan and press ok When in your Auto Scan sat list, you may highlight all your receivable sats then go to the right side of the screen and highlight search type "All", turn "Network Search On", then press "OK" to start the scan. Tis will scan your satellites simotainisly You may also scan 1 sat at a time, it is recommended to choose you Sat's in order with your DiSEqC settings, first highlight your Sat that's using DiSEqC 1, then DiSEqC 2, 3, and 4 OR choose Sats from highest to lowest. Now go to right side of the screen and highlight search type "All", turn "Network Search On", then press "OK" to start the scan. Highest ---- 119, 110, 91, 82----Lowest I have been working with Msgtretired on a complete manual for download with lot's of pic's, this manual will include full setup of your coo***lsat receiver and creating your own custom list using the channel master program!! when ready I will post a link here!!

Bronze Member Username: WoofyOntario Canada Post Number: 89 Registered: Feb-06 | Tri Tip, to answer your question, no.. you do not have to flash the original factory firmware before updating to a new bin file. i only suggested that ice do that because his bin may be corrupt. |
