openbox x3 stuck on load

[sonsofdan]

I have an openbox x3 stuck on load wot I mean is it rolls the L numbers at power on gets to L100 then goes back to the begining ..
I was putting the latest firmwear on box but did a factory reset first,but it finished up going into this load-up loop
I have downloaded all the files for openbox X3 and F3 skybox (eeprom _upgrade..ect )but cannot get my X3 to flash ....has anyone had an X3 with this problem and got it back on its feet .or is there a tut or magic file out there Ive missed
I have spent days trying to flash this box
its one week old
any reply most wellcome

Does it boot ok with your dish disconnected from it? If it does then it could be a problem with your cabling, plugs or LNB...

it does not boot cables in or out it just starts to load (runs all the L numbers) then goes back to load again
the problem is I cant flash the box with null cable (memory error prompt)
I think the box may be a clone ...the chip is 0003....but cant find any imfo on it....

it needs a flash with a firmware look at this thread:

as you have tried that, ...... are you sure you have null modem ports on your pc do you get past any part of the program, also try different firmwares
