[birch39]

Hi Guys

I have a Openbox S10 HD PVR and when I turn it on it is stuck on boot with no picture being being displayed!!!!

Any ideas what the problem is and the solution to the problem.

Thanks

Was you trying to upgrade anything when this happened, It could be the channel it is on causeing it to reboot, try disconnecting the the cable/sat f-connecter and see if it boots up, turn channel over then reconnect cable.. then delete the offending channel

Sorry, i think i misread your post; i thought your box was constantly rebooting.. Looks like some sort of firmware problem, you can re install f/w using a null modem cable plugged into a computer.

ths has happened to my s10 a few days ago and i have returned it to the supplier satandcable.com and the lovely people there have issued me with new box.

Hi Guys without flashing is there anyway else that this can be fixed as by flashing it I will lose all my network details.

By updating the firmware I loose all the details which I dont have. It stuck on boot!!! Is there any other way?

[bigalan]

dont think there is

dont think there is a way when you re flash with the null rs232 cable it will over rite every thing

I would save what you got from stb to pc via the loader 2.0.0c operate mode data dump even if it doesn't boot.Then you can go back later and extract the data with a hex editor.

this is assuming you didn't overwrite the network info originally.
