Are you using an older computer, with a dedicated serial port, or are you using a USB to RS232 adapter?

Then it should work, I remember having to do something similar, on my older 9000 HD, and that worked, using a very old PC.

I agree with this. I managed to recover my HD6000, but it took a long time to get everything right. This thread has some more tips - https://www.satpimps.co.uk/showthread.php?170533-spiderbox-hd6000-bricked-where-can-I-find-the-software-for-hard-reset&highlight=recovery

Check that your serial cable is wired correctly, if I remember correctly there used to be two configurations, on these cables.

Yes there were two wiring configarations for the serial cable, I think one was for sending signals and one was for recieving, it was called a crossover cable not the standard cable.

Differant equipment used differant versions, I had both and it was a bit hit and mis which was required.

Yes it still works if you have a bricked box
