    the v7 and v6 have different hardware id's

    They have an 24c02 eeprom which is bizarre in this day and age.

    I believe (never verified) that the hardware id is stored there.

    For a hex editor I use old hexworkshop v2.54

    Is the hex editor HexWorkshop v.2.54 a free product; do i have to pay for the licence?

    interesting since the mainboard on my hellobox gsky v7 is

    mainboard gd_s2+hd_k3_v1.1 20141223

    and I am running the isatbox firmware on it now after tweaking the hardware id @0x502C0 to match the v7 (8bytes)

    some other brands like the 7star 2001 hyper also need the remote hack to match the v7 remote @0x50400 for 400 bytes.

    What has been puzzling me is the fact that the GSky v.6HD mainboard is similar to that of GSKy v.7HD-

    GD_S2 + HD_K3_ver1.1_20141223. Why is it that GSKy v.7HD software will soft brick a GSKy v.6HD satellite receiver if injected directly.


    A MOD software of the same will however work flawlessly. Is it a RAM issue ?

    the 7star 2001 hyper has the same hardware id @0x502C0 and the same remote code @0x50400 as the isatbox if you compare with a hex editor.

    Which is the best Hex Editor to use on PC; Is there any tutorial section on this subject in this forum?

    tcom_upg_rs232 or k3_loader_tool

    should be able to load gsky v6 firmware

    crosat usually has the latest.

    Hi lutz diagram,
    You are very correct, rs232 "K3_TCOM_UPG_TOOL" can be used to revive/ resuscitate a bricked iSat TSR-141HD and GSKy HD Series v.5HD\ v.6HD\ v.7HD.

    I have a GSKy v.6HD which i installed a GSKy v.7HD MOD software with 100% success. Unfortunately the motherboard chassis of the GSKy v.6HD is very different from that of iSat TSR-141HD but from the same "K3 Processor" family.

    The exact motherboard chassis details of GSky v.6HD include:

    - CPU: K3/ 400MHz Dual-Core/ Flash Memory: 8Mbits/ SDRAM: 1024Mbits

    - Mother Board Chassis: GD_S2 + HD_K3_ver1.1_20141223

    - Processor & Memory: NANYA 1538 NT5CB64M16FP-DH


    Those of iSat TSR-141HD mainboard include:

    - CPU: K3/ ??? MHz Dual-Core/ Flash Memory: ?Mbits/ SDRAM: ????Mbits

    - Mother Board Chassis: K3_M01_V1.3_150420

    - Processor & Memory: NANYA 1610 NT5CB64M16FP-DH


    I don't have credible details on GSKy v.5HD/ v7.HD mainboard & motherboard chassis.


    iSat TSR-141HD is based on the latest and probably the last "K3 Processor". The budding question is which software from the GSKy HD series can comfortably run in iSat TSR-141HD satellite decoder with minimal software tweak.


    Hi tony34567,


    Is there an RS232 Up-Grade tool i can use to revive or resuscitate a bricked iSat TSR-141HD?
