How to recover the OpenAZBox MOD kernel on an Azbox, only displaying: Booting... I ran into problems, after I installed OpenAZBox MOD firmware and wanted to go back to the RTi Core 1.6 firmware. The problem was that, at the second zboot stage, the box got stuck, due to an incorrect zboot signature. This problem started when using the latest version of AZUP, at that time 2.2.5. Connecting my receiver to my PC with a FTDI Chip TTL-232R cable, gave the following error: Checking zboot signature.. it's not zboot file. Error : Internal, code = ffffffff YAMON> In this tutorial, I'll try to explain how to revive your fooked up AZBox HD receiver. This does not apply to AZBox Me or miniME receivers. Please read the tutorial thoroughly, for it describes where to obtain the hardware and also where you can download additional needed software. This tutorial is based on my personal situation and I hope others can use it to recover their first genera- tion AZBox HD receiver. Using the manual or any flashing procedure is done at your own risk. The manual is based on the original "How to recover a blocked Azbox only displaying: Booting...".
