Before you even attempt to upgrade your Firmware.... Make a dump of your original system firmware, and keep that copy safe.. Then ask yourself why you're attempting to upgrade the firmware, do you fully understand why you're wanting to upgrade, and if you do then make sure you've obtained the latest original manufacturers firmware and not some dump somebody has made and posted to a forum claiming it to be the best/shiniest/stablest....

ye did the factory reset and made a backup i have also tried the rs232 method which made the box go into a loop but i managed to reserect it with the backup image.
i have tried the lan method but it wont communicate with the box

Why do you want to change the firmware if you don't mind me asking?
