    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
    If it isn't broke, don't try fixin it..!!!

    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.
    If it isn't broke, don't try fixin it..!!!

    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.
