"4. Select the latest firmware .abs file. (Download her if you don't have any)" Link not working so the one I managed to find is:

OPENBOX_V8S_3511HD.abs

I tried everything but keep getting stuck on the "Set stb memory error. Click Back or try again."

Even though it mentions in the instructions about this message but im still confused to how to do this so if someone could help me out sorting this error would be great help
