Same for me. I have tried many different .abs files but to no avail. Does anyone know anymore suggestions to try?

Is there any other software for flashing f5s I am using a usb to null modem. I have windows 8 on laptop have tried different timings with different downloads. Can I dump another f5s I have and install that dump on bricked box? Without it affecting the working box

Don't load the .abs file
load a firmware file & tick boot loader
