Yes it will bring them back from the dead. Google tailormadeciruits in the UK they provide them with full instructions and tsops.

Does it have an Omega or Intel chipset?

Thats because there is a sector lock on the Intel chip and the jkeys version you have will not have the correct files. BTW Skymax will not work with the Intel chipset. I presume you have the correct blue Tsop.

Just Follow This Guide By SunRise Who is the one to be thanked not me:

Connect JTAG and Power up EuroVox

Start JKEYS

Click on "Development Panel"
Click OK to ignore the warning.

** SEE BELOW IF YOU GET AN ERROR HERE **

If all goes well you will get into the development panel.

In the user functions box:

Type in the address: 80000000
Click on "Load to . . ."

Select the file "unlock_28FxxxC3.bin"

Click "Trigger User"

Close the current window.

Click on "Flash Programming"

Choose the model number as: DXD426RD (1 Chip-GLA)


In the section on the right:

Leave the box above set to "Full"

Click "Erase"

Select YES. This will take a minute to erase.

Click on "Program"

Select YES to "Program at address 0x7FE00000, size 0x200000?"

Choose your TSOP file (whatever one you have).

Sit and wait for OK to become active, then click it.

Close JKEYS and power the box down.

Disconnect your JTAG

Power the box on. If all has gone well then it should boot up ready for you to rescan for your channels.




*** If you get an error trying to get into the development windows ****

Power the box down and run SkyMax v2.2
Power the box up
Press start.

This seems to reset the box when JKEYS cannot connect (DCU errors).

Close SkyMax and start JKEYS and try again.



Personally I went with Skymax first and then jkeys as it seems to work better.

Now you use this version of jkeys as it has the unlock bin included.

Mods apologies for the link please put it in the downloads section if it is not appropriate here.

Sorry thought you were using the other method. It works fine for me you are selecting the unlock bin before you click Trigger User? When I had problems with it I ran Skymax first and then jkeys it seems to have worked better then.

Sorry but I have to run please post back what error code you are getting.
