Here's a walk-through the procedure... Ready ?
1. Determine the system ID (and its related S/W version) of your 5400.
[Menu > Installation > Status > STB Status]
2. Go to the
Humax Support [unofficial] site
http://www.axs-ict.nl/humax5400/talen/english/index.htm
and d/l the OFFICIAL FIRMWARE for your 5400 (my System ID, "0016.200", has the SoftWare Version "HIC1.03.06 ") and so I d/l'd the HIC 1.03.06-02 file from their FIRMWARE page
Note: This is primarily a precaution measure:
The Support site recommends that on every d/l to the STB (including a Transponder/Channel settings update) you to procede by
1st:Flash (D/L) to the STB's eprom w/ the ORIGINAL OFFICIAL FIRMWARE,
2nd:Flash (D/L) to the STB's eprom w/ the CAM patch and only then,
3rd:Flash (D/L) into the STB the new settings
3. Go to the
Humax Support [unofficial] site
http://www.axs-ict.nl/humax5400/talen/english/index.htm
and d/l the latest CAM patch file from their FIRMWARE page. This file (on 19-02-02) the " HIC10306 cam2002d " IS the CAM patch for all 5400's that have HIC S/W Version System IDs!
4. Go to the
Humax Support [unofficial] site
http://www.axs-ict.nl/humax5400/talen/english/index.htm
and d/l the Firmware Tool software HCC 1.31 (Humax Control Center v1.31) file from their FIRMWARE page - BTW This IS OFFICIAL Humax s/w
5. Prepare/unzip your 2 files (advice: create folders & put 'em in Program Files\Humax Digital\), install HCC (btw I had problems under XP, but no prob under Win98)into Program Files\Humax Digital\..., REBOOT,
STOP!
NOTE: For first timers, I recommend that u :
6. Go to the
Humax Support [unofficial] site
http://www.axs-ict.nl/humax5400/talen/english/index.htm
and d/l the Settings Editor software Humbox 4.1 file from their SETTINGS page and then install this Win98/Me version software [(for NT 4 or 5, you'll need to install the MSI (Microsoft Windows Installer Engine) Windows NT-4 version first - which is just under the Humbox 4.1 file] into Program Files\Humax Digital\Humbox . Then REBOOT
7. Now, make the null-modem connections, put the STB on standby (the clock/time will show), and to verify a good connection launch the Humbox 4.1 s/w and do an exercise:UPLOAD YOUR CURRENT SETTINGS FROM YOUR STB TO YOUR COMPUTER FIRST (the command is in one of the menu bar's drop-down choices - THEN THE S/W SHOULD PROMPT U TO TAKE THE STB OFF OF STANDBY (put it in Program Files\Humbox\ and name it old-settings). - If u get a error message then just try again and check all the connections and that the correct COM port is selected in the s/w's options.
You are now ready to reflash your firmware.
8. Put the STB on stand-by, launch HCC 1.31 select first the ORIGINAL FIRMWARE file, and take the STB off stand-by.
Now to flash this firmware w/ the CAM patch : Put the STB on stand-by, select now the HIC10306 cam2002d file, and take the STB off stand-by - u now have just turned your imbedded Irdeto CAM into an AllCAM.
NEXT If u like you can d/l new settings - NOTE: Although HCC 1.31 can do it, I find it much easier to do it with Humbox 4.1 (and also Humbox 4.1 IS AN EDITOR as well)
Settings are abundant on the net check out digital-sat.com
NOTE : This patch does not affect the Loader, which in my case is still Version L 2.08
