How to install latest patches on 6900 super hd

[HANNAH]

I haven't installed any new patches on my 6900 super hd for some time. Looking at the latest patches I am nervous about how to do these as they talk about factory resets etc. Before I have just put the new patch on with a usb stick.

Before installing the the latest patch which I think is called a magic patch could someone give me step by step instructions on how it should be done please.

Unzip the PhantompatchTM6900HDSuper_ ###p.rar (7zip works with both: Rar & Zip)


I saved the first two files, but when pressing 8281 and accessing the server list, there is no CSInfo upload option. What do I need to do to get that option? I've tried pressing the Sat button?

I have a 6900 Super that was patched by the previous owner, so have no idea of what revision it is? Is there a list of what the later patches offer over the original?

Also, are you able to describe how the filter works on the 8281 menu?

Cheers, Lee
