X2 Premium Mini Pinout for RS232

[Gary Bidwell]

NEED HELP, WHEN IT SAYS DO NOT TURN POWER OFF don't do it . I made a mistake and was going to backup my channels data and push button and it started to update, I tried to get out of it and hit power button and now it is stuck on bottom. If anyone knows how to help please let me know

I would suggest that you contact the x2 team to see if there is a restore file. I've only had the mini for a few days and you have more knowledge of this receiver then I do.

[Gary Bidwell]

Already done,I hope I don't need the special Rs232 cable that did not come with it.

A recovery from this should be possible using RS232. You will need to get the specifics from the manufacturer.

That what I believe, but it takes a special cable that I don't have. And getting things here takes 4- 6 weeks being I am in Belize.

Gary, just curious, what's different about this cable. Are they changing plug formats?

[Gary Bidwell]

it is a 1/4 jack that connects to the receiver I don't know what is at the other end. Like a ear phone jack

If the plugs aren't proprietary and you have access locally, you might ask them for the pin outs and try to make them your self in order to save time. Either way, it's a bummer being in this situation, especially with a new receiver.

[Gary Bidwell]

Yes and I just got everything adjust and tuned in perfect. I ask for a pin out of the cable. hope they don't take to long to get back with info. I would like to be able to record Christmas specials.

It should be three wires: RX/TX/GND
So that would give nine possible combinations you could try without using the correct pinout, provided you know which pins are RX/TX/GND on the computer side.
You will need a rs232 loader from X2, and maybe a recovery file.

I expect you to have the needed information soon!
