There is an error in the tutorial. After clicking on "browse", you do not select eromclient.abs. You need to download a firmware for your particular model of skybox/openbox & browse to that.

HiTeck recently gave me control of the tutorial to correct a few things. Unfortunately, I haven't got around to editing it yet. I will do so as soon as I have some spare time.

i have the same problem. i need some help

Read the first post, it tells you what to do, if you still have problems, write another post with EXACTLY what your problems are, and someone will help you out, we can only read your words, not your mind, I'm afraid.
 
Hello I a new to the forum and not sure if I can post this but I have a problem with my skybox f5 s it is like it is not getting power when it plug it in it gets a faint number 8 where the letters and numbers are when it loads.

Just to add on to what I put the box kept rebooting and crashing so I had to unplug it and plug it back in to get to work again before it gave up on me
 
Hey all.

I flashed Many Box in my time, but I have this Skybox f5 here and it will not Flashed, I dont have no Clue what going on, other box flashes but nothing for this Skybox F5. There is a Light on ethernet port other than that no life. I tryed erom upgrade 8 flash and other, but still nothing. Try alot of different Firmwire and all i get each time is the STB memory error. If anyone could give me a few other Idea, that would be Great.

Thanks

Just came across this on google and tried to download the file but can't even do that. Do I need to have a certain number of posts before I can download?
