My box is down and I cannot get it fixed with the usb flashdrive. I have the CSUpgrade V3.01 loader and the clear bin file. But when I try to load the file it does nothing. When I push the start button to load the file and flip the switch on the back of the reciever, it does nothing. What am I doing wrong? I have it in download mode, and type Temu. If anyone could help me it would be greatly appreciated.:(

I had the same problem two months ago. I still don't know what to do. Hopefully someone come across and drop their brain for us.

Here is the best my brain has to offer...it works, I have used it several times on 8100s and 8000s that I have gotten running for other people....but it must be followed....

Once the loader is up and running, do not change any selection, simply click on “Browse” to locate and select the unzipped file Clear_SW_HD.bin. Upon selection you will see the file in the window, click "Start" and also turn the receiver ON from the back and wait for the file to download and complete. This will take 3-5 minutes.

ok well it all went well for me untill this step,, when i loaded the file and clicked start , turned my box on it did nothing ,,, hmmmm ,,,, now when i rebooted my comp it came up with a new found hardware window ,, i have no disk for my usb to serial plug so i just clicked cancel ,, then a smaller window told me there may be problems with the correct working order of my device ,, could this have any thing to do with my issues ?,, if so how do i fix them ,, if not what am i doing wrong ,,,,.... thanks for the help guys ,,,,,

Yep...you will need the proper drivers for the USB to serial cable for it to work right...If you don't have a disk with the drivers, you may need to buy another converter cable, and be sure it comes with the drivers....if you need to know where to get one at a decent price, let me know....

yeah

Yeah?....yeah what?...you confused me...you need to know where to get a cable?

i can find cables all over the place but the trick is to find one that has a driver with it ,, i have 2 of them here ,, but no driver ,, now i know that if you can buy it you can find it on line so i am sure i will be able to find a driver on line ,,,,, won't i ??

ok well i found a link to a page with a pic of my usb - serial cable and it says the drivers are there but i not sure ,, it only looks like a driver remover ,,http://www.advancedsoftware.biz/stuff/usb232/

Sure....radio shack has them, best buy has them...but they are expensive..I ordered mine from tigerdirect.com cost $15 and works great

ok so i ran out to future shop and bought one for 50 buxs ,, but it came with a driver and still nothing ,, i load the file start it and turn my box on ,, then i have sat there for 5 mins each of the 10 times i have tried it and watched dust settle ,my box comes on and says Loader v109,, then goes to a blank ,,, then displays the date and time ,, well 01/01/00;00 oh i need help ,,,,,,,

Did you activate the three ocx files? It will not work if you don't

will the loader work even if i don't activate the files ?

"How to apply the OCX file: Copy and paste the following command into command window (by typing ‘cmd’ on run) Copy the command line below (one line at a time) and paste in command window by clicking the “right mouse button” and press enter"

now is this what you mean buy activating the files cause this is what i did ,, and i had to use the text files versions of -->
REGSVR32 CWINDOWS\SYSTEM32\COMCTL32.OCX
REGSVR32 CWINDOWS\SYSTEM32\COMDLG32.OCX
REGSVR32 CWINDOWS\SYSTEM32\MSCOMM32.OCX

for some reason the ones you posted wouldn't take ,,

i was just reading that post with the directions and it says that i must factory reset the recieveer before i start ,, i'm not sure how to do this since my buddy put a bad file on it and it's froze ,,,

No the loader will not work with out activating these files....

And loading the clear software file to it should free it back up...just have to be sure to have the receiver turned off with the switch in back, start the loader sending the file to the receiver, then turn the receiver back on...

I tried exactly as directed above.
1. get the loader
2. activate the 3 ocx files
3 plug in the null cable.
4. turn the cs on
5. run the cs3.01 loader
6. browse and open the clear file.
7. Hit start.

Nothing happen. my cs8100 said "loader v112" and stop there.
That's how it was before too. looks like it froze there.
there's no way i could do a factory reset, cuz i can't get past this point.
The screen said loading sw*** for like 2 seconds and the tv went black
just it's in standby mode.

Please help =(

This may help with the problem...when I do it, I turn the receiver OFF with the switch in back, connect the cable, open the loader, put the file in the loader, press start on the loader, turn the receiver back ON, wait for it to load the file....loading the file isn't quick, be patient...when it is finished and the receiver reboots itself, turn it back OFF with the switch in back. Close the loader and reopen it....repeat the steps for all files you want to load to it.....I have done this on several receivers folks have sent to me because they couldn't figure it out, and it works for me everytime....and then you can use the usb to load....

I tried, but my loader didn't do anything the progress bar did not move. My tv screen went off 3-4 seconds after the it said "loading sw" "please wait" "loader v1.12". I tried turning it on before and after and still do the very same thing. I tried to wait longer before turning the cs8100 a little longer each time and still nothing. Sorry, I feel like i'm the dumbest person on earth, but I tried that's how smart i am. I can't do any better. Name me anything, but please help. I tried null cable, usb (with) driver; I tried more than 50+ time with trying to delay time and advance time but I still didn't go anywhere. Or unless it's the null cable,but it worked for my cs 6000
Thanks and apprieated for all info.
