really struggling here

Hi all.
My amiko box won't connect to pc via the cable provided in the box.
(Jack to serial) will it only connect once I have d/l the toolbox?

i get the same message when i switch on the box ,trying to flash the box with the toolbox here but box not connecting,how do i find out the ip address for the box or should it find by itself

HI guys

I am flashing my box as we speak following all the instructions and using the files uploaded.

My problem is that it is extremely slow, like 1% per hour, i have left my pc on overnight ad when i woke up it was on 9%

any deas what could be causing this?

I am using a usb to serial cable and rs232 cable.

serps87 I would check the setting in the device manager of your PC you may need to increase the baudrate of your serial device

ranj try using this FW instead make sure you do full all bootloader & SW

Do you need to flash it or do you just need to update the FW ?

Thanks very much for your reply hopper

managed to get it done by using an old pc, the usb to serial converter was not good at all, wasn't transferring data correctly

so a tip for anyone having problems make sure you use a pc/laptop with an rs232 connection.

Also another thing is that I have 2 boxes and on the other i was getting a version mismatch when trying to upgrade.

I found this on another forum so i am not taking credit for it at all. credits to soupdragon

Right time for an update, I got much the same error message as before and have determined that the problem is that the bootloader has been upgraded in that firmware to version 1.0.7 and all other firmware is still using the 1.0.4 bootloader.

The toolbox wont let you flash a firmware if the bootloader is older than the one on the stb hence why I got the error.

My solution was to extract the 1.0.7 bootloader and patched it into a working 1.0.4 image. I used a lavatronics image and produced a firmware with a 1.0.7 loader and the lavatronics software inside. This was flashed via rs232 without any problems and I was able to boot up the box.

I then downloaded via the box the new lavatronics firmware (bootloader+ all software) via their ftp in the box and it successfully downgraded the bootloader back to 1.0.4.

I don't know if that firmware Estimadarocha posted bricked anybody elses combo box or if it was just a bad download on my part but if it has here is a link to my modified firmware with the 1.0.7 loader if it helps anybody else.

Will this work for amino mini HD tc\2 cable

Hello to All!

I have an Amiko mini HDT2/C box. I updated a wrong SW and my box won't start... I got the message to reinstall the original SW. I tried it many times on the way from this thread, but without any result:

"Using Toolbox for Amiko 3612 by Dekolte
Click Loader Amiko
Browse for the Amiko mini FW
Select the correct Serial port
Upgrade type all SW + Bootloader
Mode setting Upgrade
Click next
* NOW TURN ON YOUR AMIKO *

Give it a few seconds it should start flashing....."

I have RS232-jack cable. When I unplug it, I got the error message, but if its connected, nothing happens... The update won't start...

Do you have any suggestion, what can I try to solve my problem?

Thanks in advance.

Hi guys, I have the amiko mini combo but when trying to fix the firmware with loader I am just receiving transfer data failed.
I can connect to the receiver using putty and hyperterminal on coms 3 but cannot update using the loader.

These are the files you need to get your combo to work
Been using this and have reflashed well over 30 Amiko's

Still having no luck a109925.png

Is your box off when you run this software

I turn it on once test serial port status appears

Are you using usb to serial or an internal serial port

dual serial pci card, like i said i can connect via putty and ht but the loader doesnt appear to want to start the data transfer

Instead of trying to update see if you can pull down the info from the box
