    The reason for this being posted is because mognite57 had an issue where his box wouldn't boot and was coming up with an error message. It couldn't be flashed via the USB so the firmware had to uploaded via the serial port.

    You can use the Porter update tool which can be downloaded here


    It's fairly straight forward to use and can get you outa da poop when all else fails!

    Doing a little brainstorming today and i found out why i had to reload the firmware.What I had done was leave the USB stick in the box and over time all the timeshift data had maxed out the 2gig stick this was the root cause....

    You can download the tool

    You'll need a null modem cable and a PC with a serial port. Once you fire up the application, browse to your file, turn on box and send file to it.
    If's fairly easy to drive.

    Cheers,

    Thanks Leroy, my laptop doesnt have a serial port so I guess a USB to serial port cable should do it? Off to Dick Smiths.

    Porter software did the job and I'm up and running again. What is the best combo of Firmware and plugin for 980 HD with using an Aurora card? Thanks.

    The latest firmware and plugins can be found here.


    What kind of Aurora card? Irdeto2 will work in the slot but a gold will need to be used with a cam.

    The card version is Irdeto ACS V1.2. Has been working in the slot ok until this week, thats why I am changing Firmware to try and get it up and running again. Thanks for your help Leroy.

    Do I load the firmware first then the Plugin bundle?

    Load the firmware, do a System Restore to factory default. Do a format user data before you load the plugin. After it's loaded, go into the MCAS menu (high light MCAS plugin and press OK on remote) and go into the configuration menu and change the reset sequence to T14-T0

    Only Windows. Have you tried another USB stick?

    hi worthp
    i had the same problem you had .but i not sure what usb cable to get as the pins on the serial port on the back of the ultraplus player are male pins. and the cables i have seen at ebay are male as well l so does that mean i have to buy a male to female converter ?

    thanks voyager

    It's great to see you remembered how to post in the forum again!

    You need a null modem cable. It should come with the connectors with the correct gender to connect your PC serial port to the UltraPlus 980 serial port. I would load the firmware version that you were using with the Porter utility.
    I would then load the new before loading firmware version 1.10.05

    You need a null modem cable not a none modem cable.
    It will require female DB9 connectors at each end not male.
    You need to use a serial port on your PC or Laptop. If you don't have one you will need a USB to serial converter. Aten is a good brand.
    There is no such thing as a video serial port. You are looking at the video output that will only connect to a monitor.

    Its great to be back Leroy!

    I've managed to get hold of a windows laptop and a usb to serial adapter cable for a few weeks so I will give it a go next week, Tried 3 different usb sticks but keep getting error code 0x13?

    I'll report back if i have any troubles.

    With the loader update obviously send that through first and then subsequently
    the FAC file?, My first time doing this hopefully its straight forward.
