Flash your 500/600 in less than 90 seconds
Hi all,
found this on another forum,all cred goes too digidude,
first make sure youre receiver is connected to your router, now kill the power, hold in the only button on the front of the receiver, and power it on
after about 20 seconds, youll notice the red.green lights are going wierd, this is an actual code that ill explain in a mo, but you can now let go of the button
your receiver has now gone into ###STOP### mode, has been issued an IP and is waiting to be flashed, now watch the lights, have a pen if you need one, and wait for the red and green to be on together
the green light will flash once, then a quick red flash, 9 greens, one red, 2 green, 1 red, 1 green, 1 red, 6 green, 1 red, 8 green, 1 red, (can anyone see where this is going yet )
the receiver has just flashed you some numbers, with a red flash as a marker between them, and its just told you the start of an IP address, 192 168
a long red flash is a zero, so my box now flashed one long red, another long red, 1 green, 1 quick red, one long red, 1 green, i fast red and 2 green
now the red and green come on together, and it starts over again
its just flashed out
192168001012 which translates to the IP 192.168.1.12
and typing this into a firefox window brings up the firmware upgrade screen, where you browse to the image, and 90 seconds later its on the receiver. Thanks goes to **OVERRIDE** too.
Never tried it, if you do, let us know how you get on.
I take no credit for this.
