    ah the boot fix,think it is like flashing the 780,have box off at rear press download and power on box and it should load and box reboots.

          no only 1 bootloader with 850 file,using any other may brick box permanently

              this is what digi posted.

              A850 HD 232 Serial Flash Tool In Downloads
              You Will Need A Serial Null Modem RS232 Cable.
              On the Loader App Select The Com Port.
              Press Browse And Select The A850C_FW_V1.01.06.img File Thats Included.
              Power Off your A850 Then Press Send On The Loader Then Turn The A850 Back On
