Help or instruction needed

[Ryu]

Hello,
I just found mag 254 from a garbage container. its just mag 254 with no remote control or power supply. I used 1 spare power supply from mu G router and box turned on and was able to navigate with mouse and keyboard. when I turned on it had Russian language and device info shows
vendor:Teletec
image version is 218
image description: Setplex
RootFS: 0.2.18-r14-254

I could not find anything where it says factory reset and I know I can factory reset with remote control while box is off and holding button on remote control then power on box...etc. I ordered remote control already and mean while im waiting if anybody can guide my if I can change image via usb so I can use different portals? right now I have no option to add any portal. so if someone Kindly provide me what can be done and what image file I need without remote control or can it be used? I don see any other problem with the box. internet is fine.
thanks a lot. :)

Does it have a A/V Port in it...?!? If so, try a wood Toothpick slowly and carefully and see if You can Feel or Hear a Click...!

I have all kind of phones sitting around here. im going to try this for sure. this is really cool if works. im going to play with this now. thanks for bring this up. will let you know shortly. :)

[Ryu]

that app does not work. keep crashing on different devices and different operating system.

I just downloaded this and it is working 100%.

[Ryu]

this app works beautiful but not turning into bios mode. I kept holding menu button but nothing happens and even tried power button and no luck. when box fully turns on I went to system setting and software update and change from HTTP to USB it detects my usb and prompt me with new firmware to upgrade with it. when I press F1 and it goes to update process then few seconds later it says wrong signature.

shooty your links are live...lol

Notes for Error;
3.'Wrong signature', 'Unsupported architecture' - Probably, you use not appropriate type of image.

-Make sure that imageupdate file matches your STB model.
-If you are not sure about source of update files, re-download it, replace file on USB-drive, and then try to update again.
-Make sure that imageupdate file contains Public image. If needed replace file on USB-drive, and then try to update again.

*Recommend updating from HTTP.
Seems easier!

[Ryu]

Thanks shooty for prompt response. i believe i have a right files. i read if device has a custom firmware (this one has a custom firmware) and you try to update through USB, it will give this error with wrong signature. only way to fix is through bios. i even tried HTTP but get same error. i have both public and other firmware as well. i will wait for remote control to arrive and will update the result. thanks for your help bud :)

good news. with above remote app i was able to navigate in bios. so first remote put into bios and this second remote works in bios. but tricky part is I have to press arrow down then hit ok the arrow down and hit ok in order to go back and forth but it works. I was able to successfully flash and box come up fine with more options now. still not showing me to add editional portal but I got way more options now and im getting very close. looks like custom setplex is gone which is good sign. I will give more update as soon I get this working.:)

[Ryu]

good news. I have successfully brought mag254 in 100% working condition. so after flashing that firmware I had to restart box, went to bios again, factory reset and saved the changed. once box rebooted it gave me dhcp error with blue screen. then I manually rebooted box again, went to bios, and changed boot mode to nand and saved changed.
this time when box rebooted and I got everything they way should be and it shows me factory image, options to add portals and all is working fine. :)
next to test service which will take me little while because im going to take little break as im too happy now :)

[4me2c]

Cool Update, Glad 2 C U R having FUN "Testing"...! :cool:

[Ryu]

0.2.18-r14-254
