If you made a backup before hand, see if you can do an image restore from your USB Flash Drive; try all of the images if you don't remember which one it is. Not the .abs files, but the other ones. Otherwise you will have to rescan from scratch. I messed up my Skybox before scanning in many channels, so it was no big deal for me to start over. I made a backup before before updating the F/W.
Are you looking for the Clone version, or the Genuine version? The Genuine version is at www.skybox.cc look carefully to make sure your on the correct link for your skybox. The clone version is found within one of these threads.
Oh, ok. I wonder why the little display doesn't show STRT in that case, pretty confusing. Thanks for the corrected info Reaper! :-)
Seems like your still using the wrong F/W or the incorrect connection settings between your PC and Clone Box. I posted pics of my connection settings on this thread that you can check out, and I had to use two RS232 cables connected together to the USB port to make it work correctly. I don't know why you need two of the same kinds of cables, but whatever. One RS232 cable with male to female pins, connected to female RS232 to USB cable to your PC; make sure your computer has set up drivers for your USB to RS232 cable to function correctly. You also need to make sure you are using the F/W Update Tool SPECIFICALLY for R5S boxes, none other will work correctly for you. The clone boxes only use one F/W for clone boxes, the IC Chips are designed to block any other F/W from being downloaded, strange but true. If you made a backup of your clone box to a flash drive, you should be able to reload your old F/W back into the box to make it work, there's no newer clone F/W that I know of. If you did not make a backup, you will have to dig deep in this thread for the SB.abs file that is posted, which contains the backup F/W for your clone box. That should get you going again, as it did for me. But just to be on the safe side, I bought a Verified Genuine Skybox (no clone), from Ebay seller Idives in China for $45USD. It took a good week and a half to receive the box, but worth it. I had the seller send me pics and everything he could send me to verify it was genuine, and it was after I hooked it up to the TV. It was already set up with the latest Skybox Genuine F/W out of the packaging. By the way, the power supplies for the Clone and Genuine Skybox aren't very good, try using a better 12V 1 or 2 Amperage wall adapter if possible. I hope this helps, let me know if you got this ok. :-)
I would agree completely! All the answers and solutions are all in this thread. Unfortunately, not everyone wants to take the time to try and find the answers along the path like I did.
