How to: Hard Flash 'Boot' / 'Cleaner' / 'Firmware'

[fatboy7]

If you ever need to flash the boot or image or cleaner, without the box booted, here's a guide.

Preparing the USB Stick

Format a USB stick to Fat32.
Copy over the '.IRD' file (boot, image or cleaner), to the just formatted stick.
Check the stick for just one '.IRD' file.

Installing the '.IRD'.

Switch box off at the back.
Disconnect all USB devices.
Put USB stick in front or back.
Press and hold ‘channel up’ button on front of box, now turn box on.
Keep pressed until display goes off ‘scan usb’ and starts reading.
Wait, until ‘complete’ flashes.
Remove USB stick.
Switch box off and on.
Wait, and watch VFD until complete.
Switch box off and on.
Done.

Repeat as needed.

Hope it helps.

Edit: Above correct for S4000, use the 'vol up' button for the s6000.
