Clone Error Message - CORRECT DUMP INSTALLATION WARNING

im sure i did the factory reset twice as instructed,

might give it another go, is there anywhere to find if its a clone by looking inside the box pcb board ?

Thanks

hi i was looking to purchase some box's and they say the chip id is 1546, is this a clone?

thanks

mine was also 085B, soon i updated firmware it worked then when switched off and on again i got your box is a clone, but with help here managed to rescue it, when all i got was on on front display.

regards

I?ve noticed that newest fw upgrade doesn't recognize the 085B chip ID, from 31st July and before works great, tuner, net port, bs, etc; but on august, september and october FW shows as clone with chip ID FFFF, could be possible that 085B identification was missed at this new fw or simply these are clones?

I have to disagree with you in regard to my S10, which has 085B Chip id and has been loaded up with all the latest s9/s10 Firmwares and has always returned a 085B code. Is it possible you had a false reading from the old firmware and your box is a clone.

Try doing a factory reset and saving all your setting individually thru the Misc option, load the last FW and see if you still get FFFF

Hi..I am new here...just got my Openbox S9...need to check my chip too....didn't know about clone receivers all this while....TQ

[agpjpapac]

Thank you guys...before upgrade chip ID reads 0200...after upgrade with new FW it reads 9D1A.....whys that....
New FW works better than the previous version....no more distortion on FTA HD channels...auto detects TV resolutions....better signal....thanks a lot guys.....
Unfortunately we don't have Card Sharing network here....I heard about code sharing using internet line need to be plugged to the receiver all the time...does anyone know about that stuff...

What is Ali3602 BGA?

Also, I had to click 888888 key on an S9 to get the Chip ID, is that odd?

You may have klick 777777 to get Chip ID (ALI3602 is the main chip in alle openboxes)

No. I HAD to click 888888 to get the Chip ID.

I have an S9, my ID is on the list as a real box.

I am asking, is it odd that I had to click 888888 even though I have an S9?

[bouhbab]

for my S10 I had to clic on 777777 too

thanks

[b6a6z6]

the catch was had to post here before i could download
firmware

[oziking]

i have bolt HD and the manufacturer is saying its S9
i tried 777777 key but it didnt work but 888888 worked and my Key is listed there as original and not cone
So if its accepting 888888 means its S10 or its S9??

[bonjourno]

Chip ID 0D0C.

Looks promising...
