501 tribulations

[lefty]

Got the 222 build and added my box keys / ird number to it, flashed tsop 2, rewrote the eeprom (virgin write in FE2.0).

Things got screwy. MC reported as not the right card. The sysinfo screen had erroneous data in it for the ird number and location id.

Rewrote the original 136 build and the ird just loops in acquiring sat/power cycle mode.

So tomorrow, it's back to square one.

Is there any way of knowing if the tsop uses the offset for the box keys/ird number?
I believe that's where the problem may be.

:cool:

The flash version determines that.

Did you erase both flashes and reflash #2 only?

Set 7FFFFFAC to 0000??

I've had similar problems with the 501. I couldn't get several of the (seemingly) correct TSOP uploads to work on my unit.

Your best bet is to restore from a backup, then erase the three sectors for the ECM fix and let it stream update. Once it finishes, make sure to switch your lock on.
