Coolsat 6100 Private: need loader

[Mike045]

Hi everyone,
I went to the official site for Coolsat (Coolsat USA - Official Web Site of Free To Air Satellite Receivers) and nowhere I can find a loader for the Coolsat 6100. There seems to be plenty on hackers sites but not on the legit ones. Anybody can help ? I have via USB saved the fdu and sys files from the Coolsat but I am unable to edit them.

You may be able to use one of the ones from the hacker sites (not that I'm advocating them) but use your legitimate firmware. I can't remember what I did when I had to flash one I bought from E-bay with legit firmware.

Perhaps try a search, I'm sure the info I used I got from here.

doersnt the 6100 load via the USB slot?

 

[Mike045]

Thanks Iceberg, but this loader (CS7000) works with the serial port, which my new PC does not have, well maybe but a bit more complicated; I would wish to use the usb; this loader exists ?

I removed the file because of issues but for USB you dont need a loader

you copy the file from the computer to the USB drive
power off receiver with switch on back
insert usb drive
power receiver back on

in about 10 seconds it shows on screen the current software and the new one and says "do you want to update?"

hit button (red one on Visionsat) and it updates and reboots. Then power off with switch on back and remove USB drive

done

Ok then, how can I edit these files on my PC ? If say, that I want to add AMC 21.

[Mr Tony]

what do you mean?

I just unzip the file and open it until it shows the actual file. I drag that to the zip drive and I'm done

 

[Mike045]

I will try to be clearer. From my Coolsat 6100, via usb port I saved the FDU_090209.fdu and SYS_090209.sys files ( I did that yesterday hence the suffix). Now I want to to edit the *.fdu to add the AMC21 transponders. How do I do that on my PC ? When edited, I will then copy it to the Coolsat.

Not understanding for sure, but is ChannelMaster what OP is looking for?

 

[Mr Tony]

I dont know if the 6100 is compatible with ChannelMaster. I know the 8000 isnt

 

[Mike045]

I have Channel Master version 1.18.4 and it does not work with *.fdu files.

i remember discussing this a while back and don't think we ever found a editor for the 6100
or even the 7000 ( i think we found a loader for the 7k) . maybe someone will know more or if they ever brought out a editor for it.
