    Icecrypt S3550HDCCI E2 USB Howto

    Hey folks, It's possible to run E2 on your Icecrypt S3550HDCCI (among others) using the following howto.
    I've been running it for a couple of weeks now, and it works really well.
    Warning: Any modifications you may make are at your own risk, and I do not accept any responsibility for bricking your box.

    There is a significant amount of risk updating the bootloader via USB, I didn't really mind
    This involves flashing a newer updated bootloader to your device,
    First up, the Icecrypt S3550HDCCI is actually an Octagon SE918GSE+.

    This solution is a USB booting solution, I use an 8gb stick.
    I do not know how to permanently replace Icecrypt's own software, but it will still reside on the receivers flash memory.
    You will need windows to do this.

    Step 1: download R-ID_Changer_v10.7z - google it.

    Step 2: download Leviathan Reseller ID changer - google it.

    Step 3: download UpdateLoader.Octagon.SF918GSEplus .L7.06.zip

    Step 4: (this is where it gets tricky) - you need to modify the bootloader you just downloaded, i.e. change from the Octagon ID to the Icecrypt ID.
    If you open Leviathan Reseller ID changer, and load the bootloader in that program it will give you the Octagon reseller ID. I can't recall the exact ID,
    but I do know it has **01**. The Icecrypt reseller ID is very similar, you just swap the 01 to 10, so your Icecrypt reseller ID will be **10*** (it's really that simple).

    Step 5: Using R-ID_Changer_v10.7 you can create a new Reseller ID in that program (looks like Icecrypt didn't make the cut ).
    When you create a new Reseller ID, you must use the **10*** code.
    Create the modified bootloader using this code. this is very simple.

    Step 6: You have two options: you can flash this bootloader over Null Modem (that is a crossover serial modem) or put the file on an empty usb disk (risky) and boot from this.
    If you decide to go down the USB bootloader updating route, pop in the USB stick in the receiver, turn the receiver off, and back on, holding the ch+ button on it's front.

    This will update the bootloader.
    Congrats!

    You're now on bootloader 7.06 which allows booting from usb based images.

    Step 7: choose your enigma image you'd like to boot to by visiting
    Code:
    _http://www.hdmedia-universe.com/board/pages.php?pageid=1&box=918gse+
    I use HDMU_11047_E2_918gse+_207_git_548 2_nodebug_Diff0_gst_USB.zip
    The md5 file is just for checksumming purposes. I didn't bother downloading it.

    Step 8: using the same usb stick you had before, make sure it's empty (remove the bootloader image from the root directory), extract the zip file you just downloaded to the
    root of the drive (should be two files).

    Step 9: Put the USB stick into the receiver, turn it on, and hold the ch- (channel down) button.

    Congrats, you're now booted to Enigma2 on your Icecrypt s3550HDCCI.

    Good luck.

    Hi Necrotic,

    Thank you for all those information!! Very helpful...

    My question is will all the normal Emulator used for the usual Icecrypt S3550HDCCI will still work on the E2 or will I need to download some new plugins ie: Mgcamd etc? If yes where can I find them please..

    Once again thanks for all your help

    Thank Necrotic,

    I'm currently trying this as I am getting a new box anyway, when loading the bootloader does the box need to be waking up from standby or does it need to be power off/power on and hold ch button?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    You will find them in the plugin server that you can access from box once the image is changed.

    Quite tricky to use compared to xcam on icecrypt, I spent most of last night trying to get it to work with no joy

    Hi all,

    Can someone tell me if can use the Icecrypt 3550hdci as a decoder? I have also a Technomate Linux decoder and use it to watch Greek & Italian TV, sport and film channels that are normally subscription services but I am having quite a few problems with it. Can the Icecrypt do the same?

    Hi All,

    Had a go at the Necrotic instructions above on my S3500 and seems I have bricked my box :(

    No picture, no nothing!

    Tried re-flashing with Porters Express but it just starts downloading then throws an "External Error Occurred" every time.

    Anyone got any suggestions?

    Did you have any success with that as I have a 3250 variant on which it might also work?
