The current word from RomCode 4.21 current for now

[JT]

Here is a C/P I took from RomCode. It's just word for word what it says in the V4.21 information. Turns out they pretty much say it all, including how to easily update the keys in the .ini file. Some good info in here if your a RomCode user.
================================================== ==========================
RomCode4.21.zip - RomCode Premium Loader Version 4.21 (Loader / ROM 102 / 103 Version)

Important *** We are no longer supporting 4.06f so you need to clean your card in 4.06f and use 4.21 with your Unlocker that is flashed with NewdRS. NOTE: Microsoft .NET 2.0 is required to run this version and you can download it from here: Microsoft .NET Framework Version 2.0 ***

NOTE: When switching to the new version, you will havet to go to "CAM Setup", enter your username and password, click "Add User" then click on "Refresh CAM List" to download your cams for use with this version.

NOTE: Currently there is a key rolling issue in RomCode due to the new packets.
As you all know, the key change packets are being morphed by an EMM B1 before they are set correctly. They changed the morphing on the very next keychange. The coder could post an update that will roll this one, but if they change it again, as is suspected, then it will not roll on the next keychange. For instance, Bev has already sent a new key today and it was different from the first 2 morphing updates.

As it stands right now, there is no "Safe" autoroll that will continue to work through future morphs.. There is a patch available to put on top of CoDeSpAcE blocker, but it just looks at the first few bytes as a verifcation and lets the EMM run.. This is very risky. Eventually, that type of fix will get looped. BE WARY of public files that say they have an autoroll fix. If it rolls after the next update, then rest assured, it's a RISKY FIX.

The coder will not provide an update that will risk getting cards looped, so for the moment, there is no autoroll. If we can come up with something that's safe, then we'll do that.

To make it eaiser to update keys, the next version will include a keygrabber in the app. Until that update is ready, you'll have to put the keys into to settings.ini file manually.

So at the bottom of the Settings.ini file:

[Keys]
KEY0=0CFA3973915FF554E9561C428B7ACAB2
KEY1=66B9F65370ED2A5B31D559D29F1C5263
AUX0=
AUX1=

Oh, and don't assume the keys posted in the C/P portion of this thread are the current keys. Check out the key thread stickies for latest keys.

I guess I should post a little tutorial to go with this info. To manually update the keys with Romcode, all you do is C/P the lines in red in the first post to the bottom of the info in your .ini file. The .ini file is the notepad looking one with the little yellow gear looking thing on it and it will open in wordpad. It is titled "settings" So your total .ini file should read something like this.

[UpdateSettings]
LastUpdate=10/5/2006 3:45:00 PM
[Communications]
CommPort= (your com port)
ByteDelay=0
CommandDelay=0

[Other]
URLTimeout=4000
DishTierTrigger=t:0000
UseLog=False
DaysTilltiersExpire=90
TimeZone= (your time zone)
LocalRemap= (your local remap byte)
UnlockCode= (your password)
CreateSigFile=False
DPI=96

[Keys]
KEY0=0CFA3973915FF554E9561C428B7ACAB2
KEY1=66B9F65370ED2A5B31D559D29F1C5263
AUX0=
AUX1=

Just C/P new keys when they change, and rewrite using V4.21. Don't forget to clean with the now non supported version of 4.06f before cleaning and programming with the newer versions of RomCode and to update your cam info with RomCode again.

when programming with romcode it says "unable to find blocker patch" what does this mean?

[njtiger007]

I don't understand, Why ROMCODE doesn't come up with some quick / Temporary solution ?. So many ROMCODE subscribers are without TV and some of them have screwed their card. Those of who are watching TV, they find their own way to get it worked..After all how long we have to wait for this ? How difficult it would be to come up with a ROMCODE program which allows to enter key manually (Settings.ini doesn't work for everyone).

These are just my thoughts..

[Ohms]

Romcode announced the next update will contain an place to enter keys, as JT noted above in this thread.

[njtiger007]

I know that they announced the new version but when ?

What a mind blower!

I read, read , read and tried everything and still no tv for five days now. Tried cleaning, then programming, and then again with the correct keys. Blank screen.
Anything I can do to get it going?
NOTE; Tried 3.8.1 nagra and no luck.

Here we go...
Romcode version 4.21
3900 upgraded...P350CLCD-N. ROM 102. Rev 10A
What i did so far:
1.Programmed after cutting and pasting the current keys in the ini file. Tried both checking and not checking the private bin file. Tried loading with the regular file first , also, then programming with the current keys loaded.
2. TRIED using the nagramaster 3.8.1 and got hung up. When I tried to read card, it said bin file not loaded. Also is the first time I tried using nagramaster.
I HAD tv unitl a few days ago when I started to lose some channles. Then I have been having these problems ever since. ONly get 101 , preview channel, the rest black.
Starting to pull my hair out, so any help is gratefully appreciated!
Thanks

clean the card using romcode, then reset atr, see what it says.


Did you clean the card using the old version of romcode before you did the rest?

do you use the private bin, now or ever?

[JT]

If the last version of romcode you used was 4.06f, then you have to clean with that version first, then just program normally with 4.21 or 4.22 after you've updated your cam info with the new version. Havn't installed it yet, but supposedly 4.22 has a key grabber utility. That is the only difference between 4.21 and 4.22 that I know of. IMO, it's easier to just update the keys in the .ini. Don't get much easier than that. Either way, we know the RomCode guys are still here and in the game since they made a new release. We know they're working on the problem. Let's hope they come up with something really ingenius that will totally follow Charlies little hunt and peck routing he's got going.

i am pretty sure they are working on it. all the 6month subs are coming up since it was 5 months ago avrx packed it in. i am sure most got the 6 month and not the year since everyone was gunshy after avrx. if they dont keep it going now and have a suitable fix by nov, they wont get the renewals. i trust these guys since they seem to listen to everyones needs with a side of caution on every release.

After installing and updating 4.22, I think there may be a bit more than a key grabber in the latest update. It's doing more than just auto updating the keys. What exactly I have no idea. So when updating to 4.22, still run the auto update feature. I don't think this is a complete solution to the new autoroll routine, but we are getting auxillary keys at the very least, and I have no idea where they're coming up with those.

Yes i use the priovate bin. \
Also did i mention that i programmed in 4.2 BEFORE I cleaned in 4.21?
Sooooooooooooo, can I clean this in 4.2 OR do I have to clean in 4.21 which happens to be deleted from my machine and I cannot get to it on the romcode site even after signing in.
What a rush.
Any help is appreciated.

fubr;

What does resetting the atr do,ma dn can I hurt anything in doing this?
Can I do this in 4.2 though I DID NOT clean in 4.21?
Thanks
