its a blue box m8 as the tuner ends in line with the ribbon cable,same as mine.
put the cover back on and count how many slots the tuner covers
should be 12 on a blue and 8 on a red

Thanks for reply,
One other question - Not sure what prog to use - I notice the flash chip is intel so should I use j-Keys with blue TSOP file
Thanks

not too well up on jtagging eurovox' as not had to do one yet!!
got this from another forum seems to be a different way for intel chips.

Connect JTAG and Power up EuroVox

Start JKEYS

Click on "Development Panel"
Click OK to ingore 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 (I use "2007tsop.bin" for the EuroVox RED 2007 with Intel chip.

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 devleopment 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.

I do not know of 2007tsop.bin has any nasty affect on clones or not ... I just know it works immediatly. If in doubt you can now reflash your box with a firmware of your choice using serial cable & dnupman.

This method should also work with EuroVox BLUE with Intel chips.

whats the difference between red and blue boxes?

ronster · 02-12-07, 07:11 PM

blue ones reliable
red ones not lol
think the main difference is the tuner manufacturers are different so require different firmware
the older blue 06 has a lot stronger tuner making it more reliable

As stated I have Blue box needing JTag fix...
This is the first time I have tried this...
Well I have tried and tried again to jtag box using J-Keys ( I was informed this was the correct prog to use for a blue box ) but to no avail - wont connet.
I then tried SkyMax, Connected and erased flash no probs but keep getting error when trying to load TSOP file.....
Im at a bit of a loss now and would appreciate some help.
Thanks all
TM

I was told it is a Blue box - in the centre there is a Chip with Intel at the top and the word Flash written on the bottom - Prob very very stupid question but does this mean I have box with Intel Chip and if I have I though you have to use J-Keys ???
Any help appreciated, missing my tele
