hi everyone...
i want to make backup my cccam data and the old firmware on my openbox s16, can i use this rs232 cable??

i cannot backup my data using usb pendrive because old firmware do not have that option.

1more, if my s16 is clone, can i update it to latest version firmware? or any firmware s16 for clone one??

anyone can help me or advice me? i will appreciate that.

Relatively pain free

maybe wrong rev of loader or you are turning the receiver on too fast.

Make sure you have the right COM port selected. You may have to use a proper COM port and not a USB adapter.

Open Serial Port..
Sync to serial port..
Target not connect or target is error status!

thats message show and serial connection is correct..i think rs232 cannot used because cable inside openbox/skybox only 3cable on the board.rs232 have 9pin.its just connect only and no function.

Don't think it's been mentioned: For a Skybox F3, use the config.bat 128M_SF_M3606 and check the include Bootloader box

the loader is actually the s10 loader but they say it works with the s16.

Does this upgrade software works for an Openbox S16?

Hope works fine...use loader below..for dead S16..and this newest S16 f/w v2.4

I've been trying for a while but doesn't want to guess. Actually I am not sure if my serial cable is null mode.
