SKYBOX F3/M3/F5 Software (20130327)

[sb18180]

Any CLONE SKYBOX (F3 ,F5) CAN NOT run the firmware , EVEN upgrade the firmware with a RS232 cable.

if you get file mismatch then send it back there is some bad/clones? going around

@bbb_uk
I also have restarts after updating to this FW. I noticed that these happen when my resolution is above 720p. Can you confirm it? Should we downgrade to 13-01-2013 FW?

I today have just restored defaults, removed channels and re-flashed with March firmware but without keeping dbs and settings in hope that this will solve it. I will post back later today or 2mo on whether it makes a difference.

It's been 6 hours and solid, no reboots. Beforehand, it would have rebooted several times by now.

So assuming all stays well, it's worked.

All I did was:-
1. backup everything(!!!)
2. restored defaults and when prompted what else to erase I selected everything.
3. Deleted all channels.
4. Rebooted by pulling out DC jack for few seconds.
5. Reflashed with March firmware from skybox.cc but selected NO, not to keep DBS and settings.
6. Rebooted by pulling out DC jack for few seconds.
7. Ensured my ethernet was still active (it was) and changed other settings to do with area/time, etc and added a few other things!!!
8. Rebooted.
9. Added my channel list (which I slightly amended AJs end of March channel list - thanks again to AJ)
10. Rebooted by pulling out DC jack for few seconds.

That's it. I realise that I probably went overboard on what I did but as I wasn't sure why I had reboots when obviously most others haven't I thought I'd best be cautious and overboard it was

I hope now it's stable. When I updated the FW I did not factory reset. I will follow your steps, do a factory reset also AFTER reflashing.

Thank you bbb_uk

Thank you bbb_uk

Have you tried it yet?

The factory reset is BEFORE reflashing in what I did. It's still working fine for me now.

When whatwearenotaloudtotalk about disconnects the channels says scrambled I thought it was meant to say invalid program?
