How do I set my reciever to factory settings? And is this nessisary before I load a bin to my reciever. Its the pantec 2500 ultra which is cloned as the pansat
hey PT, if you have an original pansat or any original satllite reciever u wouldnt download the bin file with the "t" at the end of it...so in your case you would get the 277 bin
I also wanted to thank you Nick, you tutorial helped a lot.
Hi ppl, Anyone has JTAGED Forsat 2500 Ultra before?? I've read alot of info about it, and tryed different ways of doing it, but still no luck. Used Skymax( says Init JTAG IDCODE : FFFFFFF Fail DCU, Plesae Restart or Reset CPU Box), than wall.exe with Jkeys ( cannot detect the device) i checked my jtag connectons 100X.I used Db25 cable male to male it has only 11 wires) ANY Ideas??
try the Jtagless fix for pansats and fortecs..its at all sites..
1) Open Blacklist Stb Updater 1.3a or 1.4 2) Browse orginal bin 222. can be found from here //www.pansatusa.com // 3) Connect from PC to REC with DB9 straight cable. 4) Keep your receiver off. DON NOT TURN THE RECEIVER ON FROM THE BACK SWICH. 5) Press Send button on BLACKLIST STB UPDATER 1.3a 5) Then turn your receiver on from the back swich with in 5 secound. 6) Wait untill download complited. DON NOT TOUCH ANYTHING UNTILL YOU SEE MESSAGE (Complited) 7) DO NOT LET THE RECEIVER TO RESTART BY IT SELF. 8) After you see message complited, Swich off back button on the back of the receiver right away. 9) Wait for 10 Secound and turn your receiver on again. 10) Enjoy Your Tv Back.
PT I tryed that! Wayting 5 sec than turn it on it says WRITE FAILED ER1, i also tryed different ways offered , but still nothing worked, not a sign of life
best bet is to take the receiver to the guy you bought from or to a local delear who can chk if evrything is ok or anything has to be done....sorry about that mate.
hey vasia, ur going to have to first click on default factory settings for your reciever. Once that is done than you try to connect the reciever to your comp and upload the bin, i faced the same problem
