[QUOTE="satEli, post: 184904, member: 217334"] I'm sorry for my big post but it is the first time i try to upgrade my NOKIA 9800s and I have a problem, so i want your help. I have little experience in upgrading receivers but I'm good at computers. (Another sorry for my bad English...!) So I have two options : a. Upgrade via Serial Cable b. Upgrade via Satellite I tried both but I had problems. a. Upgrade via Serial Cable I searched a lot and I have found many sources providing firmware and tools. I have also read many conversations and tutorials. The result : I have not upgraded my receiver yet. I'll let you know my system configuration, what I want to do and what I am doing (maybe wrong) to upgrade my receiver. - My NOKIA 9800s has the MA 1.31 and BootLoader 200. - I have found the MA 2.0, the SerialServer and i have bought a null modem cable. I thought that these were enough. - I started the procedure : i. Turned off the receiver, disconnected it from the power supply, removed my card : My receiver is ready. ii. I have a computer with two COM ports; they are free. Changed the parameters : bits/second: 19200 data bits: 8 stop bits: 1 parity: none flow control: hardware (or maybe none) : My PC is ready. iii. Connected my receiver with my PC (receiver is off), started the SerialServer program, opened the image : SerialServer is ready. iv. Clicked 'Start download' and I got the message 'You need to restart the set top box to start downloading.', plugged in the power supply. v. My receiver started, showed 'd200' and then '--:--', the above message disappeared and the download meter began. Download freezed (actually not started) : 0.0%. After a while I got the message 'Not possible to download, the set top box is not responding. Check that your set top box is connected and press "Start download" to try once again.'. vi. Stucked. Note : I tried both COM ports; I have changed the parameters on both and I have selected both in SerialServer. So I aborted this method. b. Upgrade via Satellite I searched a lot and I have found many frequencies to download from. I found them in old forums or in old documents. So I am not sure if it's me who have the problem or the old frequency which may be outdated or stopped transmitting the firmware. This is what I am doing with the "old" frequencies : i. My receiver is fully connected and it has all its features enabled. ii. I can only use HotBird 13E for this procedure. iii. Entered frequencies manually (freq., pol., sr, fec, I am sure this procedure is correct) and searched for new channels. iv. New channels found. Went on the appropriate channel, then Menu, ..., Receiver Upgrade. (I am not sure if this step is correct.) v. 'There is no software updates available.'. vi. Stucked. After all, I thought some possible reasons which may cause the whole thing go wrong... - Damaged or wrong cable. (Its bag says 'NULL' so the cable must be correct. Maybe damaged?) - COM port failure. - Missing or wrong software. - Outdated BootLoader version (I have read it somewhere... I am not sure if this is correct) - Old frequencies. - much more and finally (maybe the most important) - Lack of knowledge. Please help me. I really appreciate any reply. If you think you cannot help me directly giving a clear solution just write [COLOR=Orange]in full detail the correct procedure[/COLOR] or an [COLOR=Orange]old or new frequency[/COLOR]. Sorry for my big, big post but I think I have tried everything! Haven't I ??? [I]Thank you all for reading this![/I] [/QUOTE]
