I got same Probelm what did you do to resolved the communications error??
Hi guys,
This might be a silly question but I just wanted to make sure before I start.
The tutorial at the beginning of the thread by Clive 58 tells the process of how to get your pin working on a 4000 box. I've also seen on another thread a 4000.rar file which is too be used, but I couldn't see this in the tutorial and when you're supposed to use it.
My question is how can you make your own mac file (as posted in another thread by TBC), is it easy and when do you use the created file? Does anyone have a step by step tutorial?
Cheers and sorry if this has already been answered.
V.I.P

My tut will also tell you where and when to use the 4000 rar file or make one of your own if you read it carefully.

Hi Clive58,
Just a couple of final questions I hope you can answer before I do this:
- Does the box have to be in EM menu before you start or it just a case of leaving it once the bootup process has taken place?
- At the end, can you reset the net id / pin via the funcard method as I'm in an exC*W area?
Thanks again for the fab tutorial and also to TBC for all his hard working in creating the Mac Maker programme!

if its a Sammy box then boot and press the down button to get into the navigator, if not just boot as normal for jtaging, ie if you can connect with OCD and view your ird you can dump the macro to it or back it up using Flash Programmer_2.6.2 which you cconvert into a macro file with MAC MAKER V3 then patch it to your box using OCD Commander.
Clive.
Clive.
Thanks for you're reply clive.
Yes, it is a 4000 box.
Again, just to clarify I should:
1) Connect my box with the JTAG interface
2) Read the dump from my OWN box using Flash Programmer_2.6.2
3) Save the dump (which will be in the format of an .s19 file)
Question:
4) What do I do with the Mac Maker V3? Do I open the .s19 file that I have just saved? How do I make my own Mac file?
5) Once Mac Maker has converted the file into a Macro file, I then use OCD Commander to to send 'the macro' to my box.
Thanks

Well all that would do is put your box back to how you had it lol.
1st, You need to send this macro from HERE
and then reset your net id and freq' and symb' rate to your area.
After that you should have a working pin box which is setup for your area and pin etc ok.
Once that is done you can then dump the info from your 4k box and convert it to a macro file for future use.

Thanks for the reply Clive...just for final clarification:
1) The 4000.rar macro file needs to be dumped to my box using OCD Commander. I assume this means that I don't need to read/convert any files?
2) How can I reset my net id (as im in exC*W)? I heard using the funcard method will mean that the pin won't work?
3) Once that is done you can then dump the info from your 4k box and convert it to a macro file for future use - could you expand on this a little more, what does this mean?
Also how do you make your macro using TBC's Mak Maker V3?
Thanks

Correct !
Not at this stage but once your box has pin function you may want to.
You can send the BYTE commands in OCD for your net id as you will already be in OCD just after the macro is sent.
Well if you had more than one box to sort out, then making your own macro file (as i discribed in my tut with your own net id and pin number and freq' and symb' rate etc in from your working box) will save you time on any further boxes you have to set for your area as the macro will have your net id etc embedded in it

Thanks again Clive.
Just a couple of final questions:
1) Should I not read the current dump on my modded box, just incase something goes wrong?
2)
3) Will my IRD and BK change or will this remain as what it is currently?
Thanks again for you're help thus far!

2)
- How do I do this and what are the byte commands for setting my net ID (I'm in 41047)
3) Will my IRD and BK change or will this remain as what it is currently?
Thanks again for you're help thus far!

More "Final" questions? lol
Good idea just to backup like
(not usually needed but a safe idea)when your in OCD after sending the macro type in:
BYTE 0x3120000C = $A0
BYTE 0x3120000D = $57
BYTE 0x3120000E = $13
BYTE 0x3120000F = $2B
(after each line you press return or enter)
No your ird and bk will stay the same.

Thats instresting i never knew you could set the net id on a 4000 that way. : shocked2.
@ clive do you have the files needed with my Net id in already..? If so would you pls email them to us..? I was going to test this on a 4000 and then my sammy.
- Are the above bytes not for a sammy? If so, could you please post the 4000 one!
- @ Satch, have you used this macro file? Is your net id 41047 and did you simply send the dump to your box using OCD?
Thanks all,
V.I.P
Yes, I know i've had lots of 'Final' questions, I just like to be certain about everything!
