Recovering an s10

[carlospr43]

There are 2 very important steps that you need to pay attention

#1- Make sure you select or checkmark the INCLUDE BOOTLOADER box in the 1st screen.
#2- Once you browse and load your factory file , make sure the box is turn off in the rear before hitting NEXT. Then, hit next and immediatly turn ON the box in the rear. Sometimes you need to do this several times until you get the computer and the box to get SYNCRONIZE. if you make them to get syncronize just wail till the progress bar finished and your done.

Will a null modem cable shorter than 25 ft help with the box syncing I'm tired of getting set stb: memory error

as long as you don't have a red light on the receiver the 2.0.0c loader should fix.Avoid newer and older versions.
There was a bogus v2.0.0c floating around,make sure your version has the eromclient.abs that is 56k size.
The bogus version was just 2.0.0b renamed.

Doesn't matter how many times I try these steps I only get set stb: memory error

Should I get a new rs 232 cable

memory error usually means wrong version of loader or you are turning the receiver on before starting the loader.

The loader is from Shenzhen yojia technology co. Ltd and is 2.0.0c dated 2009-05-22 if that is not the good one please point me to the good one as all the loaders I have tried give memory error

If I were you I try a different null cable and probably a shorter one. All the ones I have and used w/out any problem are 36" (3 feet). The loader you have should work.

According to the seller the box was manufactured with original firmware but they think it's a clone so how can I tell if it original or not as it looks genuine from what I've read ?

 

[xtgold]

genuine have the security chip next to the flash chip,I assume clones do not.

Same thing with the shorter cable

I suggest you get in contact with PIXL a senior member from here which is troubleshooting different Openboxes S9 and S10 problems. He is even offering his services for free. All you need to do is make some arrangement to send your box back and forward from him. Here is a link to the thread so you can read about it and/or get in contact with him, Good Luck

If your STB has a USB port here is a easy and cheap way to add some cooling, I use one of these on my AzBox:

HDMI Cable, Home Theater Accessories, HDMI Products, Cables, Adapters, Video/Audio Switch, Networking, USB, Firewire, Printer Toner, and more!

What will they think of next?
