I tried everything to flash my cloned ps2500a receiver. I got a new rs232 db9 cable and i tried using BU 1.3, BU 1.4, STB updater V3.31. I also tried going rom COM1 to COM2 and COM3 but nothing works. I'm trying to use 277t bin and have never flashed before myself. Someone please help me solve this problem.
yea i hooked rs232 from my serial port to my receiver i just dont know what the problem is and i tried it on two different pc's. they both run xp one is hp and the other one is dell
well maybe you are using the wrong loader..that might be the case.. try a different loader.. and remember to flash areally quick as soon as you see the first light on your receiver..

To ensure that you have no problems performing any of the following procedures, it is a good idea to disconnect your computer from the Internet and your network before continuing. Then shut down your firewall and anti-virus programs, since these can interfere with data transmission through your COM ports. 1.3.3.1. Loading A Bin with the Downloader program Note that some the following steps will quickly become out-of-date. If you are using Forever's "Pansat 2500A Quick Start 2.zip", then the X8500...bin and .gtd files should be checked for newer working versions before continuing. • With the power switch on the back of the receiver off, connect the cable to your computer's Com port and the other end to the Pansat's Com port. • Plug in the Pansat 2500A and turn it on. • If the Pansat 2500A previously had a X-8500 .bin file and channel list loaded (or channel scan), as a precaution, you should restore the Factory Setting. This will ensure that all previous channel/satellite information is cleared. You may wish to use gTools to save your channel list first, to reload later. Hit "Menu" / "Factory Setting" / enter Password (0000) / Press "OK". • Start the program BU 1.XX loader or STBupdaterXX. • Select the COM port that you are using. The default is COM1, if your cable is connected to another COM port change the setting to the port that you are using and make sure that COM port is working.... • Select the STB Model. • Select your New bin file for your receiver. Click on BIN File, find the correct bin file in the popup window and then click Download. When the download is complete the Pansat 2500A will power off, then back On. Wait until you see the "Download Complete!!" message before continuing.
Download Failed! --------------- Rarely after downloading, the receiver will not fully power back on, cycle on and off, or all that you see on the display are nightrider (Knight Rider) lights blinking back and forth, a frozen green light, NNNN.., or nothing -- the download has failed. If that happens, you can fix it by doing the following: • Turn the receiver's power off using the switch on the back of the receiver. • Download the latest firmware flash from http://www.pansatusa.com/download.htm; "Pansat 2500A_040730_224_api(N).bin" is the current flash file. • Start BU 1.XX loader or STBupdaterXX., enter "Pansat 2500A" for the STB Model, and get ready to download the Pansatusa firmware flash file. • Turn the power switch on the back of the receiver back on. • At the first sign of lights on the display (or wait a couple of seconds if there are no lights) click "Download". You may have to do this a couple of times until you get the timing right. • When it is finished downloading the receiver should come back on. If it does, it's fixed. Reload the latest bin and continue. • If the receiver does not come back on, just continue with the new flash, using exactly the method above, but this time again reload the latest bin. Enter "key:global" for the STB Model. • If you still cannot get the receiver to work, try the following fix for a dead receiver.
Reviving A Dead Pansat 2500A **************************** • Turn the receiver's power off using the switch on the back of the receiver. • Download "Boot60.bin" from the files section at http://www.al7barfiles.tk/. • Start "2300_2500_1500 Downloader.exe" and enter "Pansat 2500A" for the STB Model, and get ready to download the Boot60.bin file. • Turn the power switch on the back of the receiver back on. • At the first sign of lights on the display (or wait a couple of seconds if there are no lights) click "Download". You may have to do this a couple of times until you get the timing right. • When the download is complete turn the power switch on the back of the receiver off. • Turn the Pansat 2500A back on. • You will probably see the nightrider lights.
If you still cannot get the receiver to work, it's time to JTAG the receiver. After Jtaging the receiver, it will be returned to a factory-original state and then you can begin loading again
i just followed your directions and have reset my receiver to the factory settings now my fortec tar ultra is back to its original state. how do i now get all the channels back by cloning it into a Pansat 2500A? What bins do i need or what firmware?
