Edit Post

i've been using the extreme HU v3.5a program for a while now and i have this problem....the ATR seems to have been overwritten by the EEPROM..now whenever I try to boot my card it says invalid ATR would you like to repair it? and whenever i click yes it shows this screen that says searching for optimal dac values for atr..and it just keeps going on and on...does anyone know how to fix this problem?

This should solve your problem ;-))
1. Make sure the opening window reads Extreme HU 3.5 software.
2. Do you see COM PORT READY at the bottom left of the Extreme Hu window?
3. Do you see DEVICE DETECTED at the bottom left of the Extreme Hu window?
4. Do you see ATMEL CODE= M6.2 or UL4S at the top right of the Extreme HU window? (go to CARD -> CHECK CARD INFO)
5. If you have a Mikobu loader insert the HU card with the WHITE side up.
6. If you have a Blue/Purple Typhoon loader insert HU card with BLUE side up.

I've been having the same problem with my HU card & the Invalid ATR. All the info that you're indicating to check for I have & I still can't get the card to unloop or locate a valid ATR. I was told that if when it's trying to repair to check if the ATR #'s seem to be changing, but if there was not activity there it meant that the ATR was completly wiped out. Does anyone no if this is true? If so, does anyone no if there is a way to repair this?

open settings and enter these
dac1 94 to 85
dac2 90 delay11
glitch type ins48
attemps per glitch 5
save and exit
unloop on standard settings for two minuites,if you get numbers moving on the line where it says atr then that is good if it attemps to load bootstrap then even better if nothing after two minuites then try alt clean on fixed 1 and 2 for two min and then back to standard settings in unlooping and keep stoping after two mins and start over,if no responces then check to see if you still have ul4s flashed on loader

ANONMOUS: I tried what you suggested, but when I tried to run the alt clean it gave me an Error : UL4S ATMEL FLASH NOT DETECTED. What can I do to correct this or what do I need to load. I did download the xpflasher & I extracted the files. When I tried to run the XPATMEL I left it on comm 1 and chose U4SL & hit program. It failed indicating that it can't find Active Atmel. What am I doing wrong or is there anything else that I need to do either first or after this?

when you put the card in with the chip facing upward and the blue facing down you open up extreme and hit the check mark beside the squeege for card info and at the top right corner of the black box(message window) it should say ul4s if not then you need to flash if it does then you have a connection problem so does it say in green device detected

Anonymous: What it says in the right corner of the message box is Atmel Code: M6.2 not UL4s. So what do I need to do to flash it? By the way thanks for all your help.

i have ul4s on my mikobu3 but i have heard that the 6.2 flash is better so try winexplorer with superclean script and the 6.2 flash should work but if you wantto use extreme hu then you need to reflash to ul4s and you can get info on all this at dssrookie.com or dsseverything.com just join and use the search features or wait for me to try and help
winexplorer and scripts can be found there also

I just started using extreme HU 3.5a. I first cleaned then unlooped my card. After it went through the process of booth strap and all, it gave me a message that stated "Success! you have a valid ATR. However, TV still telling me that I need to insert a valid card. What am I doing or not doing right? I did plug/unpluged the direct tv box to reset but it still did not work.

once you have a valid atr then load bootstrap, if you dont have it checked to load bootstrap after unlooping,then clean card twice then go to file open eprom and your bin folder will open select a valid bin with a 3m on it(thease do not come with extreme)or a valid bin for activation which will require loading a hex on top of your bin.If you dont know what a valid bin is then i suggest you go to a forum on the net and read
dssrookie.com
dsseverything.com
dssforum.com
thease places have bin files there as well as hex files for testing,they are public and sometimes dont last as long as private
it's a start

I have also had this problem and tried everything in this thread what i found is that the contacts in my mikobu III were not making good contact i simply apply a slight amount of pressure on the end of the barcode that is exposed as to bind/force contact -be careful when i do this i only bend the card 1/2 inch- if it is working you will see an atr response within 50 attempts
using m6.2 flash all original settings on a 5B card using extreme hu 3.5 if all goes well it should prompt to load bin file

WEIRD PROBLEMO...anyone experience this and know what to do about it?: Using Extreme HU 3.5 - COM Port:Ready - Device:Detected. So far so good. After I insert my card and try to check card info, read card or wipe ppv it doesn't recognize that a card is inserted and asks me to, "Please Insert Card Into Loader". Grrr...what in the world...? So, I take out the card and insert it again and nothing happens. I've never had this problem before. I have the clear blue loader(Typhoon?) One thing I notice is that there is no ATMEL code. Although, I'm not sure if anything is supposed to show up until the card is read. Which it can't at the moment, because it doesn't detect it. What should I try? I'm just trying to wipe my ppv only. Thanks in advance for any time and efforts into this matter.

Try calling 800 directv for some help. Appears it is software related and can be easily fixed with a phone call. Your dDot .785 code is probably scrambled resulting in this problem.

When I tried to unloop my hu card, I got no atr, no matter how long (even hours), I tested my loader with my friend's card, it worked. I guess there is something wrong with my card, can anyone give me suggestions on what I should do in order to fix my card?

I had that message "please insert card into loader" too. It seems that the compartment that holds the card in place was loose and not pinching the card with sufficient pressure for the loader to recognize the card. I tried shoving an old credit on the upper portion of the compartment and put downward pressure on the credit card so it would push the top compartment down and thus it would pinch the card. I hope that makes sense.

Guys I'm having problems programming my card. I get an error when I try to program it it prompts me to insert card. I proceed to insert card and it waits a little bit and comes back with a runtime error as if it did not detect a card. By reading the messages I'v learned I should see a green Port Detected, Device Detedted and Atmel Code 6.2. I get everything except the Atmel 6.2. Instead I get Atmel Code 0. Is this part of the problem?
Please advise.

Hello...my name is Jeremy....my friend bought a box ....and he has the exteme hu 3.1...the problem is we dont know where to get the downloads for this stupid thing to work......he said he needs to flash his box. does he need a card? is the ul4s.exe already there? do we need to go to utility manager to access it? he got is box through dsstronic.com. there is no brand name on it..he says its called blackmax, but theres no such name anywhere on the web. you can probably tell we are at the start of this huge ordeal....we would appreciate it much...if you could explain the very basics to get this system up and running. we are clueless.....It doesnt help he is mexican and pronounciates poorly..so we need help....so i can get this to work for him......thanks much

I have a problem? When I unloop my card and it prompts for a bin, I put one in, I've tried all different bins. Cleaning and more. It gets like halfway sometimes or not even halfway then gives me an error saying error weiting eeprom. Can anyone help me and give me some suggestions on why it is doing this. I've been doing this for awhile now and have never seen this. I can finally get it to work after awhile.
Thankyou,
