use the old way (NULL CABLE) to load the factory sw, then USB way to load the new sw to your box. This way it will fix the box |

A great new feature with the Ultra (since the
080404U file), is the ability to be able to
load up a "boot" file from a USB stick.
(A "boot" file simply means any file that you
want the Ultra to load up when you turn it on
from the back switch when there is a USB stick
inserted).
This should (hopefully) enable anybody to
circumvent the hassles of having to connect
their receiver to their computer with a cable
and use a "Loader program" in order to simply
load a file into their "frozen" (or otherwise
"unresponsive") box.
Now it is simple...
1: Insert your USB stick into your computer and
"open up" the files folder so that you can look
at your various Ultra files on your USB stick.
2: "Right click" on the file that you would like
to be loaded onto your Ultra (it can be either a
factory file or any other ultra "fix" file), and
select Rename from the window that pops up.
3: Rename that file to PFTAUSWR.PGM and make sure
that it saves it properly. (You can do this by
closing your USB window and then opening it back
up to ensure that the new PFTAUSWR.PGM file name
is still there).
4: And, as always, before you remove any USB stick
from your computer, click on the little Icon on
your taskbar (at the lower right of your screen),
and select "Safely Remove Hardware" before you
remove your USB stick.
5: Insert your USB stick into your Ultra (which is
turned off by the back switch).
6: Turn on your Ultra from the back and it will now
automatically look for, and load, any file named
PFTAUSWR.PGM.
(The front display on the receiver will show "uSb",
then "InSt", then "End").
When your menu comes back you can confirm which file
has now been loaded into the Ultra by using your
remote to go to Menu>System Information>Receiver
Information and check to see what file name is listed
beside the Main S/W entry.
It should show the original file name you had changed
to PFTAUSWR.PGM on your USB stick! |
