301.010 problem

[kctats13]

I jtaged my 301.010 and one of the wires came loose and grounded out on the case. The light stays on but when it detects in jkeys it gives different readings everytime. So I figured that I must have corrupted the tsop by it grounding out so I erased flash 1 and 2 and tried to reflash with the original dump when I try to write it keeps saying " error writing at off set ******" Any way that I can get this thing going again?

The 301 resurrection guide in the files section...............

Use Wall 2 to write the first 60000 bytes, switch to jkeys and finish the proceedure........it will come back..............

[kctats13]

Thanks skinerd. Ill give it a try.

[kctats13]

I still cant get the damn light on. Nowe ive got 2 301.010's that need to be resurrected but even after I program the first 60000 bytes in wall2 the light doesnt blink like the instructions said it will and when i try to read in jkeys it says Lsi control unavailable and slow programming mode. What do I need to do to get back in ?

The message LSI Control Unavailable and Slow Programing Being used means you unhooked the JTAG/it moved, unplugged the IRD after erasing the U23 TSOP but before you reprogram it. All you need to do is erase U23 completely again and then just reprogram the the first 60000 as suggested to you earlier. That should take care of that problem.

[kctats13]

reprogram the first 60000 from flash 2 right? I did that and it still doesnt work.

[skinerd]

Sorry buddy but I can't find the guide in the files section. What sub-section is it in? Got a direct link by chance?

O.K lets see if we can solve this mystery, could you let me know if you have already found the file that was suggested to you on how to "resurrect Your 301/3100 and if not, I can upload it to this thread if I am allowed. The info on the file is so straight forward and I have used it as often as needed because I do experiment with one of my receivers quite a bit . I have rendered it "DEAD" several times and the procedure brings it back to life all the time.

[kctats13]

Yeah, Ive got the file 301.010 resurrection. When I try to reflash U23 60000 bytes it says"using slow programming, boxkey and serial in file will be used". Then I hit ok and it says" programming failed!".

[siksik2003]

If you downloaded that zip file from say kickingchicken's site, print the instruction that comes with it or if you are patient enough just read it on your screen. You will notice that this sympton is not unique. I often have to repeat the same procedure several times. Yes it takes patience of you know what but believe me if you keep geting "using slow program" it is more or less an error message relating to what I said earlier. It will either write goobly gook on your system or nothing. Even if it does you can still clean it up just erase a couple of times (address 1FC00000 & length 200000). Then program same address but length 60000. After that unplug the receiver, for a second or two. Plug it back again and see if it turns on for a bit & turns its self off. If it does not turn on, go back and erase all over again but make sure you erase up to 200000. Reprogram again up to 60000. Keep doing this and eventually it will take. Once it takes just go and hook it up to your dish and let it update itsself. I know this is hard to take but be patient and Wall 2 will restore your chips provided you have your back up files to write to the chip.

I tried for about 2 hrs last night and 3 hrs today and still the same result. Ill try a bit more and maybe ill get lucky, Thanks.

I finally got it to write by unplugging the jtag from the PC right before I flashed it but I still cant get the light to turn on. I didnt have a backup of my tsop so I used one with the same build from the tsop bank. Both flash 1&2 were erased so I flashed 1 (u22) first then I flashed the first 60000 bytes of flash2 (u23) , unplugged it, plugged back in and still no light. One of these IRD's got messed up when installing a jtag(one of the wires grounded out) and the other one worked fine until I put a autoreset lock in it . Now it wont turn on. I removed the lock, repaired the trace and re-connected eeprom pin 7. Does it sound like both recievers are probobly screwed? Ive been messing with them both for 2 days and im getting ready to just trash 'em.

[loserbaby]

Hey trash 'em my way...I'm a glutten for punishment. Your getting good advice, I've done a lot of j-taggin' and recently spent approx 4hrs to bring back a 301.010, 2nd time that happened to me on the same box...first time took about a day and a half. Be persistent. the first 60000 that you write with wall is only gonna allow you control to write to the box, erase that and the write the whole thing in jkeys. In wall if I get "write failed" I go back, erase three times and try to write 60 bytes, then erase three times and write 600 bytes....Add a zero until that bitch takes. If I remember right , the last one I did, after the first 60000, I erased and jkeys would still only slow program, it took a long ass time but ended up being a good write. Persistant....

[kctats13]

So after I write the 60000 bytes I need to erase it in jkeys then rewrite the entire flash?
Do I need to program flash 1 first?

[bk_yxl]

At least you can get the file erased, I can't even get it esased, always erase failed! Still the same 3100 ird I did a lot of time woke it up no problem, but now it has no lihgt, erase failed all the time, let along reflash! I'm still working on it trying to fiture it out.

[loserbaby]

No, flash #1 can wait... one tsop/flash at a time.

[skinerd]

So after I write the 60000 bytes I need to erase it in jkeys then rewrite the entire flash?
Do I need to program flash 1 first?


Exactly...........after you load the first 60000 bytes, you reboot (unplug IRD) and let jkeys detcect the receiver, then erase both flashes, then reflash both flashes......don't power down with both flashes erased or you will have to do the Wall bit again.

[kctats13]

I keep getting flash erase failed. Ive been trying for 2 hours and same thing.

[kctats13]

Hey Jiloman12670, your the one looking like a jackass with all your stupid fucken' posts! Why dont you do everyone a favor and go run your cocksucker off on another site. Go fuck yourself! People are trying to learn here.:flipa: :asshole2:

[Chief]

This brain surgeon splattered this post over the entire forum. He will no longer do so, at least not with this name... :)

[kctats13]

Is there any hope for this reciever? Im still getting erase flash failed.

[JCK7]

DO think j-tag is bad.JCK7


I jtaged my 301.010 and one of the wires came loose and grounded out on the case. The light stays on but when it detects in jkeys it gives different readings everytime. So I figured that I must have corrupted the tsop by it grounding out so I erased flash 1 and 2 and tried to reflash with the original dump when I try to write it keeps saying " error writing at off set ******" Any way that I can get this thing going again?

Firstly make sure you have NO cam in your IRD. Secondly, make sure you start WALL within THREE seconds of powering on the IRD with the JTAG hooked up. Third make sure your sat cable is DISCO from the IRD. Now erase flash 2 and reprogram the first 60000 memory adresses.

Wall will APPEAR to be flashing even if you unhook the JTAG so the only way to know you're succesful is by disconnecting the IRD and reconnecting it. Use a powerbar to do this.
