Install Enigma 2 On Your Miraclebox 6 HD PVR (1st)Dual Boot

[Jullez101]

Hi all,

This is a tutorial I made on the Miraclebox forums Which I will share here too. After much trial and error I finally managed to install a dual boot of Enigma 2/Octagon SF918 SE+ on the Miraclebox 6 HD PVR 1st gen. In this post I will write a tutorial on how to do this.

Things you will need: PC/Laptop with Internet access
A USB Pen Drive Preferably larger than 1GB
A Null Modem Cable (Also a USB to Serial for those who do not have DB9 on PC)
Patience
Step 1:

First of all you will need to follow this tutorial here and Install the Octagon 918 SE + firmware on your box. The Firmware can be found here

Once the firmware is up and running you will be good to continue to the next step.

Step 2:

Download (PKT_SF918SE+_E2_HAARP_v3c_Image_HDCLONE) from here . Save it to your desktop and then extract it. We will use it shortly... It is packed with both the firmware for the usb stick (Enigma) and the Loader software.

Next you will need to download HDclone from wherever you might find it (Torrent search might help) Once downloaded extract and install HD clone to your PC.

Now Turn off your receiver by unplugging it. Plug your Null modem cable in to the pc and the receiver. Open the Folder that was first extracted to you desktop and extract (Loader_changer_for_SF918SE+_v1.2) Open the folder and then run the loader app click connect and plug the power back into the box. Once that is done and it shows ''connected'' at the lower left then we are good. Leave it for now. Open the same folder and extract the PKTloader. Open the extracted folder and copy the file to your USB. Note that for this step the USB pen drive must be formatted to FAT file system. Plug the USB out of the PC and plug it into the back of your receiver. Head back to the PC and click on the Load PKTloader 6.2 button. It will load, The lights on the box will then flash and when green you can close the software. In the same folder there is a guide to follow if I have not been clear enough. Once you have loaded PKTloader to your box we can then setup the USB stick to be able to boot enigma 2 from it.

Interesting concept, I can't believe there has been no interest shown here to this post.
I guess this won't work on an Octagon SF918 HD or Openbox S9 ?

Is there a difference between an Octagon 918 SE+ and the 918 HD? and I too would like to know if you could get it to work on an Openbox S9 or X5.

Not sure if the hardware is different marty (I guess it is) but appearance wise it definitely is a different box >
I had a go this afternoon with my Octagon SF918HD but the loader seemed connected (not that that meant much cause it showed 'connected' on whatever com port I set the loader to) but it wouldn't find the pktloader62 file on the usb stick or at least the option in the loader window never became an option to load

The Octagon 918 and 918+ are 2 completely different receivers.
