Passion HD software upgrading problem?

andrewianfox33

i inadvertently upgraded the firmware without upgrading the "loader"

is there a "get out of jail free" card for this?

cheers Andrew

owner of one of those Maplin kits where you had to twist the LNB contrariwise to get a signal but i now have 67 strength and 100 quality for astra 2, also 67/92 for astra 1

And what was the result? The box not booting up?

If that's the case, switch off the box, plug in a USB stick with the loader file on it and switch back on. You should get 'file read' on the front display, then 'file 1'. Press the box's 'OK' button and you see '1 Loader'.

Press OK again and it should go through the loading sequence and end with 'Power off'.

Switch off the box and remove your stick. It should now boot up with the loader, after which you can load the firmware.

As it's booting up, your loader should be intact. Just update with the latest loader file, then your firmware.

.Hi New member,Have just purchased the Passion+and thanks to this site have learnt a few things trawling through past posts,my question is I have downloaded the latest update for my box and after unzipping do I send the unzipped folder or do I send the file inside the folder to my stick drive,advice needed before I complete the update will be grateful....

Just have the .dnl file on your stick tjl. The Passion won't recognise files or folders without that extension.
