Bricked my X2 III

[Costactc]

I flashed the latest file as ALL CODE on my x2 III and I bricked it. The display only shows ON and will not connect at all. Any way of unbricking it?

Both do have recovery package using RS232 Null Cable and Com port on your computer. I have sucefully recovered both using these method.

Thanks Carlos, I will give it a shot. I haven't flashed a file this way in at least 8 years. I do have cables but not quite sure which is null modem and I would have to start up my extremely old laptop which has the 9 pin port to accomodate the cable.

Most RS232 cables provided inside FTA boxes are Null. Straight cable is rare and use in limited models. So if your came inside of any model most be Null. Once you set your Com computer its a pretty easy process to do. Good Luck!

I used to do this very often but I haven't in many years. I will power up my old dinosaur laptop later and attempt a recovery.

It took several attempts to realise I wasn't using the right cable, finally got it to take. My x2 Premium III is back in service, pic of Rtvge on Telstar 12:

Unbelievable....I did a fw upgrade via the internet and it's bricked again. The tv screen says Strong, not Premium III. I am going to transfer the latest file via null modem cable and hope to bring this stb back to life again.

Something is happening lately with X2 though!
