You're doing it great. Its being report all over the internet people having a lot of problems trying to recover Z5 models. It is a matter of keep testing and trying. Using the RS232 process I see you have come to the point where the program is looking for the boot file. Keep trying using different files (make sure you rename the files as rom.bin). The file needs to be in the same folder of the sunplus.

I'VE GOT IT CARLOS Found the info on a Openbox specific site. Don't remember OP, but it's to his credit. This info may help someone else, who has the same prob. It may even help, if it's locked up for other reasons, or possibly on other Openboxes ( not sure ). You can put info where you think it's best suited:
Press 9898 on remote control. Screen will go black. Press "Menu" on remote control, and "Main Menu" will appear on screen. Then you can go wherever you want, from there. If you don't download newest firmware, you will have to go through those five clicks, every time you turn off receiver, and turn it back on. In my case, there was a new update, and when it finished, it put receiver back in normal mode. Soooooooooo, no more punching holes in my laptop monitor, trying to use rs232......lol. Thanks for your help guysWOODSMAN
