Will using a "USB 2.0 to RS232 Serial DB9 9 Pin Female Adapter Cable"

Do the same job? As I have no RS232 connection on my laptop so will have to be USB.

[riandi]

There's no dump or update firmware via usb menu on my S9 so I decided to update the firm ware via null modem cable. I got this message :
"synchonizining STBs
please reset target!!"

I'm using right null modem cable. Any help would be appreciated

[slugworth]

turned the receiver on too soon
receiver has to be off when you hit next on the loader

if you follow the how to and wait 10 seconds before switching box on and waiting again for bootloader to install then you will have success everytime
