which firmware did you have in it? have you got a backup of your configurations?? ¿have you got telnet + ftp connections still??
you need to clarify with as much information as possible ¿ is it a clone or original??
we can only help as far as is possible ,especially as few have these boxes. -
it was running spaze 2.2 and i have no telnet/ftp the box has no ip address, can not enter recovery mode, and its original

tell you what.. after reading an incredible amount of posts regarding this box ,,,,,
try this:stick spaze 2.2 on usb (use AZup 2.1.6 to install this FW).( not sure if this applies tothe latest firms but the end of the image name should have patch.bin otherwise it might not be recognised.
Then unplug the box from mains , stick in the usb ,plug in hte box , If it shows OPTIONS ,then FORMAT AREA 3 or 4 times ,then UPGRADE to install the image.I hope this somehow helps,, some users write that you need to INSIST on FORMAT AREA 3 or 4 times...
If this does not get you any further ,then here is a minimanual on HOW TO:
QuoteThese are the Howto steps for official FW on USB. Works in RC7, RC8, RC9,RC10..
All credits to Telesat and Johnsat1) Format USB-stick FAT32, and place in Azbox running E2
2) Use Azup 2.0.1 (no other)
FIRMWARE ( 0.9.5308 )
3) In azup, check 'USB', uncheck 'copy kernel'
4) Press 'Install Official FW'
5) Box comes in rescue mode after reboot, Press 'Install Official FW' again
6) Select file 'vmlinux'
7) Select file 'patch.alt' (this is 0.9.5308 fw)
8) Azup continues and several log messages appear, wait till it shows 'FW installed succesfully'
9) Wait for reboot, VFD will show this:
* USB CHECK
* RESCUE MODE?
* CHECKING
* SLEEP 15 S
* CHECKING
* USB S
* LOADING
And the official FW has started, if all goes well the settings screen will appear and azbox can be configured.This is working 100% in my box (premium HD). Try another USB-stick when it fails.
keep us up to date here and I´m sure one of the azbox users will think of something better if all above fails..
I´m sorry I can´t do much more for you ..

try jazup by hector & pr2 if that dont work then you will need to jtag it with the usb uart to ttl converter.
there are files posted all over the net to do the jtag with, just google -azbox jtag- and you will find it.
i have used it a few times to recover azboxes that were stuck in booting, lol -
just to let everyone know this does work ,yamon using putty and pumpkin
