    As long as it's just a corrupt or blank flash,the receiver can be fixed.I kill my receiver daily with oddball firmware and then revive it.

    I am in Ghana and I wish I could pay the guy who put up this tutorial for his service. I have revived a dead clone open box S10 and another open box s10 that the electronics repairer said was not useable and condemned with this software thanks for opening my eyes and the wisdom imparted into me. God bless you

    The problem was boot loader corrupted.
    Red light only can be boot loader problem.

    I wasn't able to refresh it because of com1 wrong configuration.
    With new swttings erom upgrade works.

    Now after powering I can see scanning on display...
