Samsung 3110 netid setting...

[dogfishddl]

Hi guys,
I have managed to get my hands on a sammy 3110, with what looks like a valid bk (starts "ED C1..") and have glitched the card. Unfortunately after getting the bk/ird from it, it died on me!
However I had a spare card, so programmed me a mosc, got an atmega, and managed to find a tut on resetting the box.
Now having got it reset, it doesn't want to seem to reboot itself - even after 15 minutes. So I pulled the plug, and got myself into eng menu, and - got a netid of 09999. All good so far, except my atmega won't set the netid for me in the same way that it works for the old v+ and of course the sammy 2110.
When I do the initial reset, I get ld06 but it eventually gets stuck at "pl70" and stays there. If I just let the box boot, I still only get to "pl70".
I'm in tw land, anyone got any suggestions?
Cheers

Anyone? Was thinking of progging a 2110 and putting the netid chip from that onto my 3110, would like to hear what people think... cheers

I havnt even seen one of those yet, has it got a 1024 chip on it like the 2110 if so worth a try if you cant get the atmega to work, are you using net id v2 1.7.2 with the right flash ?

Look what chip is on the 3110 mate. If it's the same then I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work (and give you the same Net ID and/or pin).

Take a look at this red....

Virgin Media's new V+ box will be MPEG4 | News | TechRadar UK

And the chip is a 1024 same as the 2110 boxes

Hi,
Have done plenty of 2110s with atmega and netid v2 1.7.2, so pretty confident I have got it right that way. However when I did a reset (with the left right ok stby buttons) it did go through ld06, but didn't seem to reboot itself even after 15 mins + - I eventually reset it myself.
I heard on another forum that this can mean that even though the netid is reset the pin can stay in the box - and prevent the atmega trick working!
I'd rather not swap the chips as I'm worried about lifting pads etc but looking like the only option at this point - I'm convinced the ird and BK are ok (shows paired in the EM and bk looks good) so will be worth it in the end!

I swapped the 512 on my V+ yesterday ....bit worried about lifting a pad but it was easy in the end, would love a new sammi.

Just thought I'd let everyone know that I cracked it!
These boxes can be sooooo slooooow with the atmega/funcard trick by the looks of things. Keep trying it will take in the end. leave it for a long time (and I mean possibly in excess of an hour with the fun/atmega in on the eng menu) and also make a mosc first - and put it in before you put your fun/atmega in.
I left it in last night, and when I went to it at lunch after getting up, there it was my proper netid was in, my mosc worked first go, and no freezing/popping on subbed channels

Thats good, they look a nice box from the pics ive seen, i dont have any rebooting probs with my V+ but it is a bit slow in the epg, really good picture quallity though.
