learned one lesson,when this rebuild is carried out ,you loose every thing and have to start from scratch,including imputing your gift number,took 2 hours to.find,so will keep it handy in case i have to do this again...

hi guys I have just joined the club, my box froze after downloading the latest firmware [hightechbox_2.1.34_2016.04.21] I have changed it to [force_rom_upgrade] the SATMAN code. Before I go any further could someone please verify that I am on the correct path so far. Also I seem to be having a problem unzipping [ f_r_upgrade]to my USB stick. Any help would be most welcome.

Hi
Don't rename the file until unzipped, if it won't unzip try a different USB stick preferably a well known branded one.
Just to add try Winrar to unzip as the file is .rar
