Recover a Dead/Bricked/Non-Working Openbox - OPENBOX(R) |UK Stock|
1. Firstly switch on pc ,switch off your v8s via the pains or unplug it....
2. Insert the rs232 cable into pc not into your v8s box yet.
3 control panel>>system>> device manager * usb find the rs232 and establish its port connection.* you will see a yellow exclamation mark......** ignore this for now **
*note to pc users that usually this is bad advice but it genuinely through me off track and waisted time trying to install*
4. connect your rs232 to your openbox while openbox is switched off...
5. your pc is now switched on...and connected to open box use this program firstly
6. download this 3 programs and have them unzip onto your deskop

7. open the erom tool and find erom upgrade.exe

make sure booot loader is checked...
8. click next
9, power up your v8s
10. you will see syncronising stb's,please reset target ,checking serial port status.
11. if all goes well a status bar and down loading sequence should start...follow onscreen instructions to the letter.
12. once box has reboot then you should have a fully working box.....you will have to redo your own channels and networks etc but your box will be working....
* if you notice I stated use 3 programs there is one left over openboxv8s network.abd use that via usb to upgrade then sat search and uppgrade via network to your own locality.....all you have to do then is add your camms .....finito
