I now have successfully used romcode software to program a rom 102 card for a 2800 receiver. One thing i noticed while doing this. my receiver was at p834. I was using a rom 10 with the rom 10 to 102 software. I downloaded a couple of unmodified tsop's from the tsop list here on this site. The first one i tried was p854. I had no success. The receiver kept acting like it was trying to update. Being late into the evening i quit for the night. The next day with a fresh mind i knew it must have been a corrupted tsop because p854 was the latest revision and so the receiver should not have been trying to update. The power light would flash on and off. So i loaded on another unmodified tsop after fully erasing 3 times the p854 tsop. This time i had a p853 tsop. After using flashedit to change ird # and boxkeys to what romcode had given me i also flashed a virgin eeprom to the 2800. Inserted card, hooked up sat. feed, powered up and within 5 minutes had tv. After flashing on new tsop, you have to do a check switch.

Excellent process description knight4ever. Glad you got it going. You are right about the public tsop banks having corrupt tsops. I have found about half of the ones I have tried were no damn good at all.

Great job! It's just this sort of reporting in on how we got things to work that really help the folks out. Thanks for posting it!
