    TM500 super corrupted

    Hi All,
    help need please.
    My TM500 Super appears to have been corrupted. I tried re-flashing it but made a fatal mistake I think.
    I may have flashed it with the wrong image as when I power up I get the GP logo displayed on the screen. When I re-flash with the UR image that works on all my TM500s I get a 'loading error' message on screen when the progress dots have reached 100%.
    Any idea what if any thing I can try.

    Philly.

    Hi bassethound,
    Just read the tutorial you attached. This is the procedure that I use. When finished the on screen progress dots read 'bad flash' or similar notice (away from box at the moment so cannot check exact wording).
    The UR image that I am trying to re-flash is ur-180211.img. I never had a problem flashing this image in the past on a new box.

    if the image IS NOT a UR image on the box (showing GP etc when booting) then the miniweb may possibly not exist to use

    with a network cable connected, press and hold the power button when turning the power on, if a number appears in the front display, then enter this into a browser (assuming your router IP is 192.161.1.1) as 192.168.1.NUMBER and you should be able to flash

    if not, then you will need either the Technomate Control Center or the Digidude loader, and an RS232 cable

    if the software is saying PC not responding, then if you are using a USB-RS232 adaptor, then its possible the drivers are not configured correctly for the COM port to report the information being received from the receiver as you power it up

    Hi digidude,
    My problem seems to be that my TM500 super does not like the UR image that I am trying to flash since I previously flashed (mistake) the box with a GP image. I know the UR image is the correct one as I have used it many time on the same model box in the past. Getting rid of the GP image seems to be the problem. Using the rs232 works but displays an error notice then 100% is reached.
    Any comments or suggestions appreciated.

    you may need a rs323 to rs323 cable for it to work as usb to rs323 do not always work or look for your com port in device manager on you lappy

    Thanks dathaid,
    I did try the factory reset in the past with no joy. I may have tried a different image but got error message also. Maybe there is a specific old image that I need to try.

    I always use tcc 7.1. However in the current faulty state with GP displayed on screen The only way I can connect to the box is using serial cable.
