Bronze Member Username: GeekerPost Number: 16 Registered: Nov-04 | I tried everything possible for the "Flash Update fail, but no success. I have tested my cable with an ohm meter, and it's working fine, and yes it's a straight 1 to 1. I have used almost six diffent loaders "nope no go". I have opend the box and took the board out and checked the soldring of the DB9 connector on the board and they were fine. I have used a hex editor to change the baud rate of the loader to 9600, as I was told to lower it from 115200. By the way, how the hell all these loaders are fixed at 115200 bits/sec, You would think that they would give you choice, especially with all the problems everybody is having with loading bins to their REC. Now I am hearing that some receivers only work with old OS like windows 2000 or 98. It' funny, I have ordered two Forterc Ultras, one for me and one for a friend, His REC is fine, and I have installed autoroll on it before, wich I couldn't on mine. But it was easy for me to just find the keys and enter them and boom I have tv. But now it's the big day, I have to a new bin not a new key. So, now that someone maybe feeling sorry for me, Please Please help. Is the OS version of a pc really matters? it didn't on my friends fortec. Would J-tagging help in this case? and no I don't how to J-tag a REC. Would reseting my fortec to factory default help? Any input would be appreciated. Thanks guys. |

sam999 Unregistered guest | did you try another bin, or boot file, or channel list...reseting to factory setting wont hurt anything (receiver set-up)do you see the loading line when you download before the error... did you check your pc connectors... |

try to help Unregistered guest | seems like no power going to rec, did you unzip the bin before loading?, cable male/female with female adaptor? |
|
just ask Unregistered guest | If you read and do all of this you will have less questions and less problems. Only use a STRAIGHT THROUGH CABLE RS232C to hooked up your receiver to the computer. Take the cable off going to the LNB. If you have the year model Dec 2004 or 2005 receiver then you may need to use a USB to Serial cable 26-183. Get detailed instructions here Download to your computer Blacklist STB UPDATER.ZIP It don't ask you as many questions. You can get it here UNZIP both files. You can use WinZip or Winace. You can get them here http://www.winzip.com/ http://www.winace.com/ Click on UPDATER.EXE to start it. Set the COM PORT and put a dot in BIN. Click on BROWES then put in Ultra_050905_279api(NTSC).bin Turn receiver on from the back, when FIRST bar starts then click FIX on your computer. After you get compleat on the computer the ON will display in the receiver, then it will displays a channel number if you have channels in your receiver. Your receiver is flashed. __________________ |

Bronze Member Username: GeekerPost Number: 18 Registered: Nov-04 | jeffwest thanks for the head-up. I was going to do a reset yesterday, but I was worried to mess it up. Now you confirmed that nothing will happen to the receiver with a factory reset, so I am going to do it. Thanks again. |
