    Hi all, iv got myself a blade bm5000s the other day, iv updated to the latest firmware with 9991 and installed the latest eu channel list off blade online.The box has been fine since friday night but going through the selected satellites i noticed a few channels where missing , the eu channel list is a bit old so this morning i decided to use the update tp option in the satellite menu to get latest transponders so i can rescan the satellites. However when the transponders updated and saved the box rebooted and now the box wont boot up. Iv just got the blue light on and it says booting on the display, booting goes off for about 10 seconds then says booting again and this is looping. does anybody know a way round this, can i reflash a full image via rs-232? Because it is like the box is bricked (corrupt bootloader/firmware). Iv tried the way you can do it on the 7000s by holding down the menu button on the box while powering up from the back, but this dont work with the my 5000s. any help or suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thankyou

    hi just an update, iv managed to reflash it with the com port. the box was rebooting after the box first registerd the usb ports, but all back up and running now. Thanx

    Hi berty, i only got the 5000s today, flashed it and after the flash it went straight into a bootloop like yours did. Can you possibly tell me how you managed to reflash it?

    I used hyperterminal with a null modem cable connected between rs232 on box an com port on pc, set com port settings to, bits per second:115200, data bits:8, parity:none, stop bits:1, flow control:none. hit connect in hyperterminal. once connected to the box turn the switch on the back of the reciever on and hold the spacebar while in hyperterminal, this will pause thw bootloader which gives you 2 options, 1.update aplication ssu, 2.continue boot. Press 1 and hyperterminal requests that you send the update file. Open transfer menu in hyperterminal and then send file. select the origional full flash file that you can download from the blade media site and set the Protocol to 1K xmodem. Press send and Hyperterminal will re-flash the origional firmare back to the box allowing you to recover and fully boot the reciever up. the whole process to about 20 minutes to flash. Good look to anyone who needs to do this

    any one who can give us a guide how to do this please, I also just have a solid blue light on the box. cant get into settings or anything, the box was left on for over a week as i was away, ????
