Quote from igor39

hello as title i just got this decoder, is there any simple guide even in italian to use update firmware and install ecam in this box?thank you all

Wich firmware have your V8uhd now ?? Mars or stock ??

If you have stock firmware installed, you can upgrade to ecam without any rs232 cable, but only with usb stick.

If you start from mars, as say master G first, you need open the box than rs232 cable or ch341a clip programmer.

can you give link for rs232 cable or ch341a clip?

i don't know witch firmware on box,i got jt on ebay but not arrived yet but i would like to but the cable.

witch firmware is on a new box?

Usually stock firmware. When you have the box put a screenshot about menu info of your V8uhd.

For rs232 cable you can see on aliexp.. with search for " rs232 gtmedia v8uhd".

This cable has been tested from me and it work on V8uhd and on V7pro.

This is a clip usb programmer ch341a, but change firmware with it is a little more difficult than rs232. For a guide you can see y@utub videos about programming an eeprom with it.

Personally my GTmedia, I put it back to original firmware, then stuck on boot.....so, I exploded it and threw it in the nearest trash can, that's still where it worked the best....

To restore to the original firmware, it cannot be directly upgraded and needs to be flashed through the serial port line. This requires a slightly more professional operation. The official forum provides methods.

The problem is why GTMedia team can not provide an easier way using usb to roll back from mars firmware?

Why is it so easy to move from original to Mars and so hard to roll back?

Where's your support team's knowledge & power, please?

Hi igor39,

you have stock firmware installed at the moment. You don't need any rs232 or clip programmer but only an usb pendrive with ecam firmware.
