SKYBOX F3 - recovery kit for bricked or fail boot.

[alex123]

mismatch file is not unusual it goes back to a change of chip set a while back to try to improve utube and older sw will boot loop the newer chipset so to avoid this a couple of impoters have there boxes unable to load wrong sw hence mismatch its just a case of finding correct sw for your box

Tool does not go Beyond Stb Reset. iam using null cable rs232 f to f

 

[bhavinjbhatt]

is there a stepwise procedure to re-image the skybox f3?

 

[dickdyer]

trying to do it now and i just get "please reset target"

Ta USB lead to rs232 not doing it shame we don't have an old PC

 

[bobby123]

you have to tick include bootloader in the loader or the receiver will never boot

Mismatch file on screen ? what to do now?

You may be trying to flash with incorrect file - use one you know is good (what you would use with usb)

 

[Dolfiemax]

you have to tick include bootloader in the loader or the receiver will never boot

you can do either its a com port issue - try looking in device manager to see which com port your using as you will need to associate the program with the correct port - upload flash but have box off then click next then box on and should see done then bar for loading

Mismatch is when your loading a different sized image to a memory so get the 8 meg loader instead

It pays to keep old PC parts -great instructions not in computer speak easy to understand keep up the great work.

i keep getting "downloading data is failed" thats with bootloader turned off
when bootloader turned on i get "sending address command is failed"

it says check port status done

so I know that works. also at the stage where it says reset device my device wont say "load" only says load when I reset it after I get failed error messages or if i remove cable. Using a usb converter lead. Its always worked with dm500

any ideas ?

 

[n4cer]
