learned one lesson,when this rebuild is carried out ,you loose every thing and have to start from scratch,including imputing your gift number,took 2 hours to.find,so will keep it handy in case i have to do this again...

hi guys I have just joined the club, my box froze after downloading the latest firmware [hightechbox_2.1.34_2016.04.21] I have changed it to [force_rom_upgrade] the SATMAN code. Before I go any further could someone please verify that I am on the correct path so far. Also I seem to be having a problem unzipping [ f_r_upgrade]to my USB stick. Any help would be most welcome.

Hi
Don't rename the file until unzipped, if it won't unzip try a different USB stick preferably a well known branded one.
Just to add try Winrar to unzip as the file is .rar

Try them both and tell us which one works.
Just looked on my USB stick and I have force_upgrade_rom
