[darvash]

New software for Sky/openbox S9,S10,F3,F4,F5,F4S,F5S,A3,A4,M3;M5

Instructions. Please read this carefully before upgrade

The first thing to do is save the downloaded firmware file (unpacked) on the root of a USB flash disk,

Plug USB disk to the back of your receiver. It will be recognized by the receiver.

1. Before upgrade, do a Factory Reset:

* Go to TOOLS menu and click on Factory Settings
* Click Yes to continue. The receiver will go to factory default and restart.

2. Upgrade Firmware:

* Click on MENU and go to TOOLS menu again
* Scroll down to "Upgrade by USB"
* Click on START
* Choose Image File[*.abs]
* After the loading is completed, Accept the upgrade.
* The receiver will restart.

If somthing goes wrong and your box don't repond don't panic. Just follow this post to recover your box.

There's nothing new about this firmware. It's just the latest firmware from skybox.cc.

It's the same firmware as darvash posted last month in this post :-

Found this very helpful....Thank you very much for posting the DL's

never do a factory reset until you back up your sat/channel list 1st

[miketails]

A question that has probably been asked before, a thousand times. I have just purchased a virgin, unadulterated, openbox v5s. Are these files for setting it up straight from the box. As a noob just looking for a little guidance. I was always told if you don't ask you don't get:joyous: and always be polite, so thank you in advance for any assistance.
PS. Im a noob to this type of thing but am not a technophobe, I have experience in flashing and chipping of all game consoles from the original PS1 to todays consoles.

Any box I've got mate are already loaded with a channel list, firmware up to date. So apart from the obvious which needs to be added, there good to go! No need for any firmware update.

Cheers, the seller says channel list to be sent by email, so i guess I just add via usb.

[ketan9thanki]

Does this work in uk?

[gary229]

Yeah it works in the uk

[gary229]

Miketails, get the list from AJ sats, nice and easy to install. Just go to upgrade by USB, drop down onto image file and move cursor to the right, changes to misc file, go to bottom and hit upgrade, your tpg file will show, hit ok and tick, press yellow, job done
