well for one thing i will say before i start is a big thank you for the walkthru on patching the sl65/12 b1 all patched and ready to go :d
it all went well and only took 5 mins to reflash cas in enabled key editor on the rx is working :d

my question is ... my pc and sat kit are real close together is there any proggy that can be used with the sl65/12 b1 that can convert a softcam key in to a .bin keyfile so i can use the key.bin uploading tool to do the whole lot in one hit useing the pc and not my fingers..

just broken my right hand lastweek and im right handed and clumbsy with my left (gf waves hello as she types this).

and again big thank you for all who found/involved in getting this patch to us...

kind regards
andy

There may be, but I'm not au fait with the SL65 keyfile format. I'm sure you could write a simple macro in UltraEdit or something if there isn't.

.bin files are not normally ASCII text format? :?

Please don't post examples on the forum though. We've already had keys posted once today

i totally understand about posting keys ectect its a big no no . had a ss2 and a xtreme pvr for a while so i know the lay of the land..

i have made some .bin files but thay all upload to the rx ok but when i use the keyeditor in the sl65/12 b1 it just resets its self.

head and brick wall comes to mind lol

any help at all people ???

There may be a checksum in the file that you've missed, or you may have used notepad which fails to preserve the CR's properly. Grab yourself a copy of UltaEdit. There are warez versions about. It's a massive tool.

Wordpad does a better job than notepad, but it's not foolproof and it clearly doesn't have anything like the editing power. There is also a softcam editor in our Utilities section which does some de-duplication and validation AFAIK.

chhers BGonaSTICK for the im.
but no joy

i have tryed almost everything to do this but everytime i upload the file it just resets its self..
with the ss2 it was easy prob to easy and now that i have got in to this patching lark its giveing me a huge headache..
i see with the advent of the 6pin patch for the b1 ali chip a lot of people are starting to ask the same thing.

may i ask what is "open" on 19.2 at this moment in time..maybe im just getting fuddy fingerd and not understanding a few things..

cheers and beers :d

Same story here - if any other than "recommended by Yorks" file is used, the receiver just resetting itself.
Maybe it is using some kind of different format?

BGonaSTICK · 16-08-07, 02:13 PM

The method clearly works, so there's a very good chance that it's the data which is causing the problem. The conversion utility (now posted here) works well on the face of it, though I haven't tested the output file with CAPi.

Premiere and Digital+ are open on 19.2E, so why not try making minimal changes to the file that Yorks has indicated to update these two keys (assuming you can find them - Premiere shouldn't be too hard, but that's assuming that the SL65 can handle the MECM fix - i.e. was working two weeks ago) and see what happens. It can't be much more than a checksum it it does fail.

Maybe you could try using the above utility to convert the original keyfile to a softcam file and then back again (without any changes) to see if the conversion works.

andysly · 16-08-07, 04:55 PM

just tryed that no go .mmmmmmmm i wonder what is going on here..
i tryed the conversion as posted and same again it just resets its self..
i found a later keybin file online that worked and now orf is clearing ok...
and whats the betting its someting simple we are missing lolol.
ill keep at it but i did notice one thing the newer keyfile i got is also the same filesize 12k but it has more keys in it.???????

and on a different note i got myself a 1mtr triax dish sharp white and a cheap motek motor for under 60quid today..

cheers and beers

What are you moaning for then?

The file thing is a bit odd. Sounds like the format might indeed be non-'standard'.

If you could get two files from the same source and with very close dates, you could run a file-compare to show up what else other than the key needs changing. If you haven't got the tools to do this, point me at some material and I'll have a quick play.
