      When you click next try different delays before powering the box. ie. 1, 2 or 3 second..
      tried it. i get the fail right away, no wait at all. gonna contact supplier aint happy at all they said its genuine, see what they suggest.

      Thanks for your help been great,

        Ali express have a dispute system like ebay. Contact the seller first and explain the items have been checked and confirmed they are not original but cheap copies/fakes.

        One other thing first:

        Did you have to sign for them on receipt?

              I've had four originals from different places, two from Ireland all original and taking latest firmware. (All fixed cables).

              Al that have had figure of 8 plugs have been clones and give the clone page when updated with latest firmware.

              Luckily, I've kept the firmware that came with the boxes and put it back on to return them.

              One of the sellers admitted they were copies, the items were removed from sale.

              Personally I prefer the s9

                    I have used a laptop with usb to serial for six years without any problems.

                    Dbox?????????? The best way to flash the dbox was to have it switched on hit the start on the loader then quickly switch off and back on for a 99% success.

                                Loaded OPENBOX_S10_110914 from SHENZHEN WANYING ELETRONICS page after upgrade display was saying CLONE, after power off just ON.

                                Here's how to bring your clone back to life:
                                * Load "HDS2_CMT_Eng.abs" from Megaupload: ?d=L2RBA9C3
                                * Load "HDS2_SCMT_20110315.abs"
                                from Megaupload: ?d=IFBBXL0Z

                                1) Load EromUpgrade and run it. Select "Upgrade" and check the "bootloader".
                                Select the image "HDS2_CMT_Eng.abs" and give "Next".
                                Once you finish the upgrade will show us these symbols " - - ". Turn off satbox.

                                2) Run EromUpgrade again. Select "Upgrade" and check the "bootloader".
                                Select the image "HDS2_SCMT_20110315.abs" and give "Next".
                                Box wii say "boot" and " - - ". Turn off satbox.

                                3)Again run EromUpgrade. Select "Upgrade" and check the "bootloader".
                                Select the original image "HDS2_DUMP.abs" and give "Next".

                                Enjoy the resurrection. Keep original dump safe.

                                "Its alive, alive!"
