--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A Useful procedure if something goes wrong with programming the CAM - It works:
Many thanks to miazza for the translation
Just in case of a possible not complete firmware updating you can have the followings malfunctions:
- CAM shows an anomalous operation in “EMU” mode
- If you insert an official card you have frequent freezing
- Impossibility to program a new Firmware
Then you can try the following procedure:
1) Use a Decoder that powers the CAM also in Stand By
2) Insert the CAM into the Decoder (switch off with remote (DO NOT POWER DOWN AT THE MAINS)
3) Insert the serial programmer into your XCAM
4) Switch-on the decoder and go to a FTA channel
5) Verify the installed firmware (1.01 or 1.02 or 1.03T)
6) On the PC start the X-Loader Program
Now it’s where you have to trick your CAM.
All of you is aware of the fact that in Block 2 you should write the Firmware and on Block 14 the softcam.key.
In this case (and remember on in this case of anomalous CAM), you load the softcam.key in block 2 instead of block 14.
7) Press Connect
Go to the CAM parameters
9) Activate the loader
10) The programming starts
11) At the end of programming, do not exit from the program X-Loader !!!!!
12) With the remote, verify the CAM parameter
13) You should now read “XCAM Module” like a new virgin CAM!!
14) Now you can load the new firmware in the X-Loader and program it in block 2 of your CAM
15) Press connect (without doing anything in the CAM menu) and the firmware download will start automatically.
16) At the end of download, switch off the decoder (not powered) and remove the programmer without removing the CAM from the decoder
17) Switch on the decoder on the previously selected FTA channel
1 Read CAM parameter to verify correct firmware updating
