Did you at least test that it was working as a receiver with the original firmware?
Do you know which image version you flashed?
Gemini version 3.1 disabled cloned 500S. My guess is that you have a cloned box as there haven't been any originals for sometime.
Try to unplug the power cord and then plug it again and see what happens.
If your box doesn't recover, then search for the solution using JTAG, a thread initiated by mhku.

Read the Idiot Guide for more information.
