I have read Moulin's previous thread on updating the patches which helped quite a bit but I'm still confused . I have uploaded the patch with the USB stick and am left with a .stb file. On the menus I can see every command apart from download. When the patch is loaded do I then do a factory reset and then reload the channels ? Thank you all in advance.
Selecting upload, uploads to usb !
Make sure you back up ch lists etc
Unzip the patch
Factory reset
menu-usb-highlight the file and press ok and patch will download and write and then reboot when done
factory reset
load channel list
load softcam
Re enter usals settings if needed.

Thanks Manic I' ll give it a go. Where are the softcams?
What confused me was that having located the .stb file I was looking for the right command to actually get it to load into the receiver. And the answer was that you just select it and press OK. This causes it to be written over the existing software and you can see a progress display - I think it took about a minute in my case. I was confused by the upload/download terminology but for actually installing a patch you don't have to worry - as long as the file is on the stick and you can choose it you just hit OK.
In my case I was only interested in specific channels so I didn't worry too much about saving the channel list that came with the box - and so I was able to clear out a lot of dead wood. But probably safer to save them.
You can tell whether the patch has loaded correctly by powering off and then on and then checking the System Information data. Mine now says S/W version 1.16p (Apr 30 2014)
Thanks Moulin for your feedback. Used Manic's above info. Have just tried it again, the receiver goes through the motions and the prompts say the file was successfully updated and reboots. But no change in software version.
The channel list seems to load Ok though. The files are Channel list .cndf and firmware .stb
What patch are you using?
Latest patch for TM5402 M3 attached
Phantompatch-TM5402M3_117p_10-06-2014
lloeren has now got both latest patch 117P from manic01 and also latest softcam from Moulin - so do we now assume he's got it all working?Originally Posted by moulin
Please let us all know mate(lloeren!
I wonder if there's any news as to if or when we'll get TNTsat back on the 5402 M3. I entirely understand that it's because of the skill and generosity of expert(s) that we have it at all, but we've been without it now for best part of a week.
In hopeful and grateful anticipation......
No one on here can help.
Down to TM support and Kor engineers.
Thanks manic01. I don't doubt the problem is being worked on....
Thank you all for your assistance. Problem now resolved. When I download from this forum the winzipped patch opens itself and I was left with an attachment .php file. Downloading the patch from another forum it did not unzip and when I unzipped the patch it read phantompatch TM5402M3_117p 10_6_2014stb. So now up and running.

Glad you're sorted now. Well done!
I see there's a new patch (118p) out today. I had hoped it would get TNTsat back but it doesn't seem to have done - or do I need some more softcam keys.....?
Do we know what changes have been made since the last patch...?
If anyone is succeeding with TNTsat please let us know.
The new patch is now on here but still no one has commented on it....
On the 117p in OSD Settings there was a Quality Option either % or db was available. With this 118p this Quality Option has now gone, and on my M3 it was set to db. As i prefer % i've re-installed 117p. For me less is not more.
Well I didn't try 117 p so hadn't realised that on 118 p the option for dB/% switching had been taken out. How odd! Unless there's something advantageous on 118 p that we don't know about I think you've done the right thing.
You may have noticed too that in the 'Menu' / 'Installation' / most of the following options now show both the dB and the % Quality as:-

Not accurate though, 65% is approx 10.7db and that says 53% 10.9db
