Default explorer 4200

how do guys i have a exploror 4200 comming to me with the original VM card that was in there.

This box has never been messed with at all.

How would i go about flashing this?

what tools will i need?

When that is done what channels will i be able to get??

Also i have access to the private FTA but dont have any idea on what i need to get.

Thanks

presuming that the box hasn't had a deactivation hit you'll need an uplooper for the card and a phoenix compatable card programmer.

if the box isn't from around your area or you dont knwo the pin you'll need to lift and blank the 512 chip.

if you program the mosc with the right image, you'll get al channels and when you cut the talkback you wont get on demand.

note, this box will only work in ex telewest. there has been talk of it working in pure but i recon its hit and miss

the box has come from a few streets away. so it was originaly telewest which is now VM it has the original VM card in it.

I wont know if the deacivation signal has been sent.

if its taken the deactivation hit it will display 'card never paired' in eng menu. basically this hapens if the box is desubbed and onstream with card in.

if it has taken this deac hit, you will need to remove, read and replace the 56pin tsop from the box.

unlooper = tmc, mikedata, chartman, unapit, ebay ect.
