    Have I bricked my box?

    I have loaded the latest firmware for the A780 on to an A750 that has an i-connector and it does not look good as when I switch the box on it displays a message not certified product.I have tried loading on the correct firmware but the loader won't have it basically.Any advice?I have tried a factory reset but still no luck,any help would be appreciated,cheers.

        Is there any way to format this box or does a jtag exist for them.I have tried loading the correct firmware and done several factory resets but can't seem to get it right.I know it's my fault but am I unique in that I am the only fool stupid enough to have done this.Any help is much appreciated,cheers.

                Tried everything and all variations so unless someone knows how to format these boxes all I can say is don't do what i did as your box will be ****ed if you do,does anyone know if these boxes can be restored with jtag? cheers.

                  It shouldn't have bricked it putting the wrong software on. Where abouts are you? May be someone close who can do it for you.

                    I live in St.Johns Wood in London.However I know that it should be able to overwrite the wrong firmware and it has driven me mental the time I have spent trying to sort it out.I have been in touch with tailormadecircuits as he is often a good source of advice on these boxes and I am gonna send it to him for him to take a look at it.What I found frustrating that I tried to load the correct firmware using the same cable,loader and com port settings etc. and it would not happen.I tried every variation and every possible thing I could do and the first person who picks it up will probably fix it straight away.Anyhoo thank you to all who replied here and for taking time out to help.

                          If you have been in touch with TMC and are sending it to them it will be sorted. He will Jtag if needed.

                            talking to someone else and he did the same thing on purpose he had no bother reverting,but the trick is have box off at rear
                            press download and count to 3 then power on box at rear

                              I see what you mean but wouldn't the valid mac be on the i-connector?
