Dead Openbox X3-openbox in bootloop

[halkaliozan]

Hi all
I am very disappointed with my item Openbox X3. It has been just a few months I am using this. I used wifi, c/c/c/am, bi/ss, and everything without a problem.


My device went in constant loop mode after I put some new ne/w/ca/md lines via update tool.


Before this time, when it went in rebooting mode, I tried several firmwares from the yoja website and I un-bricked the device by loading firmwares using RS232 cable. When it went in bootloop mode, I had the latest firmware (11,02,2012) on the device.


However, this time it is different; I cannot do that.
I can connect it to computer via rs232 cable, I can flash the device without interruption, everything goes OK, but after flashing, constant loop goes on; nothing changes.
I tried almost all of the firmwares, I tried even sk/ybox firmwares for S3-M3-S4-M4-S11 etc. etc. I dont have a problem with connecting and flashing the device..


I tried x3 upgrade tool, and I also used 8MFlash tool with no luck. I used almost all firmware and loader combinations. Bootloop goes on. I removed LNB, HDMI, ethernet, wifi when I am doing that. Then I tried flashing with them on, but no..


I was also told to flash the device with a socket on-off trick, but it didnt change anything either..


I also wrote to the guys in Yoja, however got no answer from them.


I thought about a heat problem, but bootloop goes on in cold environment, as well.


I am thinking to open the box and then look for a reset chip in it.


Can you help me?

Did you try disconnecting the satellite-coax to see if it might boot up correctly? Just a thought...

Sorry to hear that your receiver was killed while attempting to circumvent legal subscription services. Doesn't sound like any fault of the receiver.

Maybe buy a new burned flash from the manufacturer or extract and reprogram with new data?

I asked for an idea of Slu/gwor/th from that forum.. My receiver doesnt have a mo/tor, so I dont think so.. But we'll see.

I disconnected everything from the beginning. It is not the solution. Thanks..

I guess it doesnt seem right, but it was a fr/ee one. Also they make this receiver exactly for this stuff.

I got a ROM from sl/ugw/orth who said it should work, but it did not..

Thanks for all the input.

Any other ideas?

I've read on another forum about people using ccam with the n-line keys and all that. I think that is what causes a lot of problems with the x3, m3, f3, etc. Besides that it is illegal. I've had a skybox f3 for about a year, using it for legal fta only, and never had an ounce of trouble with it. It has the same hardware as the x3.
