Openbox S9 crash when card inside.

[darcu5]

firmware is old, HDS2-1010-26: 1647CMT

very old f/w mate, use to cause reboot problems in uk and had to delete the channels causing the reboot,

i would upgrade the f/w but back your box up 1st,
use the software to check if it's a clone and if alls good after that install newer firmware, If your still worried about clones then there is clone safe firmware which can be downloaded on this site somewhere

i dont think usb upgrade wont show until usb is plugged in

Also there are tools on here that can be downloaded to upgrade over lan, i haven't used it to upgrade f/w but have used it for softcam.keys, tp_prog and cccam,

Thanks Darcu5

I guess they don't sell that many boxes here, most have or paid subscription or use different boxes.
That's what I actually thought, if I google that firmware number there are few hits so it must be an early firmware.
Nice you pointed me out to lan software tools, will look into that.
The box is able to see the USB so I guess something else is going on, but I will try to format it on the openbox instead of on my mac and look what happens.

Only question I have, I have tools to upgrade the firmware but how do I backup the firmware?
I have EromUpgrade, but that's only to upgrade isn't it.
Already have clone safe firmware, don't think I need it though, read in other forums that if the card reader board is brown is genuine and all the internals seem to be from a genuine box.

Thanks for the help Perry
