I have a 501 and I flashed sectors 52 and 60 using flash 2. I did it 3-5 times each and when I hook everything back up my location is still 000000001.
I have flashed 4 different times with the same result. I also flashed 54 and 60.
Am I doing something wrong? I think I followed the directions to the letter..
Help

Fire, I also have a 501 and have never been able to get the 54 and 60 or 52 and 60 reflash to work. I have given up on trying. I just erase all and re-flash with my save bin.

Thanks:
I'll try that. As you can tell I'm new to the sport so just two more questions.
Will the location code change if the flashing works or do I have to wait for the update from the sat stream?
Should the location code be different after flashing?

The location ID changes all the time. I erase sa52 and sa54 in flash 2 and it works every time. Takes about 5 minutes once back in stream. Then have to do a check switch also.

Thanks again:
I did a full flash and it seemed to work and it is in the stream now.
But it has been stuck on acquiring sat for about 10 min on a default sat transponder 12. 5 0f 5
I have had this part happen before and after 20 or so min the preveiw channels come on.
I hope this works.

you need to do a check switch
