[QUOTE="stevd, post: 699641, member: 301564"] Its is simple but verrrrrrrrrrrrrry risky. I requested the fortec star techical office in Dubai and they managed to send me the rs232 tool. procedure: 1.[B] you need a rs232 cable female to female null modem cable (bought from amazon.co.uk) and then a rs232 to usb adapter[/B]. 2. after getting these you need to install the rs232 to usb adapter to your computer, making sure the driver is compatible with the OS. 3. load the Fortec Star RS232 tool (FS Download Manager) on you computer. 4. Visit _http://www.fortecstar.com/downloads and download the right update for your passion+ (updated in June 2010). Also download the loader ver. 1.5/v15. unzip them to your desktop (they will be in a dnl extension). 5. put off your STB - unplug it from the power socket. 6. run the rs232 tool (FS Download Manager), then in settings choose the baud rate (as per my experience it worked well on 9600). I feel the lower the baud rate the better (I am not an engineer so I am not responsible if anything goes wrong). 7. in this software explorer choose the loader file to download, then click download and now put on the STB, it will come on with message data and start the download. It might take few attempts. 8. When the loader upload is finished, do the same with firmware updated version, it will update and erase the previous version or in my case wrong version. IT WORKED FOR ME AND NOW IT IS BACK TO NORMAL, USB WORKING AND ALL IS FINE. WELL I SAW MANY POSTS IN MANY FORUMS NOBODY KNEW OR HAD THE TIME TO WRITE THE SOLUTION, I MANAGED TO GET IT FROM THE FS, IF YOU ARE NOT ABLE TO GET IT FROM THEM, I WILL ATTACH THE FILES HERE IN MY NEXT POST [/QUOTE]
