    This recovery process can only happen if the bootloader is still intact, and the USB stick being used is compatible.
    Kingston brand is recommended.
    Rename the original Software "auto1.abs" and place this renamed SW on the root directory of a clean USB stick.
    disconnect the STC1650 from its power, insert the USB stick and re-apply the power.
    The transfer and burn takes at least 5 minutes so be patient.
    If the USB stick has a read indicator LED this should flash during the transfer and hopefully the SW will automatically reload and finally the receiver should reboot.
    Once you observe the receiver powering down and rebooting remove the USB to stop it repeating the upgrade.
    Hope this helps.

    I have same trouble and solve it as i will explain now.

    First of all, menú appears, but for get it on view and not blue screen you must get to start the icecrypt not seeing a satellite cannel. For example, change to radio o music and then power off and power on. This makes that when you power on icecrypt and press menú then menú appears again. (Its not magic, only i discover it making some differrent attempts to test it).

    Seeing menú i only do and update by http in the net menú and update to last icecrypt firmware.

    Thats all. Please confirm if it Works ok for you.

    now and next is the standard epg for most satellites and broadcasters, unless the boxes have any special tricks for downloading a populated epg , so most people can only get now and next anyway

    as for timings, you probably need to set the time on the box, but bear in mind the time differences between countries as compared to GMT

    so you may have to setup your box to compensate for this 1 hour time difference

    depends on your location , dish size , and which satellite you are pointing at

    10964 H 22000 works for me on 28.2e for both channels

    For any Satpimpers who have a dead after upgrading STC1650 I have the Serial RS232 Solution.
    Use the serial lead kindly provided with the receiver and a PC with a RS232 serial port.
    This recovery loader is based on an old Ali loader which works with the Ali3612 of the STC1650.
    Hope this helps someone out.

    Working version

    I managed to get control back by changing to radio. This version is a good working version and has gone into service without any problems.

    I am also interested in this recovery for Icecrypt S1600CHD, not if the "Upgrade_1.1.08 new" is right for this model.

    Greetings.

    I have just bought a second hand Icecrypt S1600CHD which was supplied as working unfortunately it appears to be broken. When powered on light is green then later changes to red. I then press the power button on the remote light again changes to green but nothing ever appears on the TV screen. Could anybody help me with this problem. I have another identical box and everything works perfectly so I know it is nothing to do with the TV or any connections.

    Thanks for any help you can give me.

    Dave

    Which satellite are you connected to?
    Are the loaded channels for that satellite?
    After loading, will the menu button give anything on screen. If so, load a couple of channels manually if available.
    Try a http ftp manual upgrade on the internet. (if possible backup your channels beforehand)
    Good luck!
