Are you flashing this via USB or doing it the correct way via the RS232 method

If its stuck on LO46 upgrading from USB stick is not an option. Needs recovery via RS232.

Hi guys, no i am using the rs232 not a usb one.

If its definately burning the flash and still sticking on LO46 it looks like the chip is buggered.

Have you tried letting it boot with no leads connected. ie. No HDMI Ethernet & Sat cable.

I would say the main chip has gone which means a new Motherboard.

Put it up on Ebay. Most faulty Openboxes/Skyboxes get a decent price on there.
