I downloaded and unpacked the .zip folder and the file name for the Freesat V7s software is "GTMedia_V7S_MiddleEast.bin"

You show a file named "FREESAT_V7S.bin" in your photo.

Try downloading the software from the download page and unpack it and use the .bin file "GTMedia_V7S_MiddleEast.bin" or the Europe file "GTMedia_V7S_Europe.bin".

Of course that was the first thing I tried
I put all the .bin of different dates to reach the most recent one of 25 06 of 2018 europe t the one of asia also and I sige leaving failure of update. and tried to put db bin to check if it is a general problem of the usb or the box but if I read the db.bin without any problem and restart them from the factory the same
it turns it off and it loads "flash.bin" if it reboots normal but it says update failed for the .bin in mode all the code

tu deco esta asustado :roll: (your deco is afraid of you!)
me gustan tus videos! ( I Like your videos)

I have a couple of questions for you
1) As per what you say the decos were working fine when unpacked?
2) Are those original I believe, not clones? I was giving instruction for another device but they alert me that some devices are been clone. I had no idea
3) How a about formatting the flash drive that way it is Cleaned from clusters, hidden files or any garbage
4) Then proceed to do a flash recovery from that flash drive,

Well I believe you pretty know But I leave the instructions for someone else
- Format your USB Flash Drive (pen Drive I know guys you call it different) in FAT32 format
- Download the bin from this site on download area into your PC
- Rename that bin file into flash.bin nothing else on the flash drive just that file.
- Copy that flash.bin into the ROOT of the USB memory device, not a folder.
- With the "deco" off, insert the flash drive.
- Grab a finger, the one you pick your nose :roll: and press the button MENU
- Turn the unit (receiver) ON, keep continuously pressing the MENU key
- until the software is uploaded, you will see a message like usb upgrade! do not power off
- the box will reboot and should be factory reset

5) Then start over working on the update... again

Evidently if the "decos" are not a clone, the file(s) could be corrupted somehow.

The last, and is awful to tell you this, is change the language into english. Do everything into English and the when done change into Spanish, I don't wanna think that is a language problem. "lost in translation!" Just thinking out loud.

Big Hug chuky!

Maybe try a factory reset as well.

Also try using the other USB port, the one on the back and maybe another USB stick, not a SD card in an adapter.

he states he did a factory reset, What I do Not know if all the receivers have the same issue or just the first one he tried,
Secondly if for some reason accidentally he corrupted the firmware, no matter if he still does a factory reset ,will come up wrong, that is the reason I would told him to try a flash recovery
And using another USB port OK, but wouldn't pick up the USB Flash drive.

Hi,

I also got a GT Media V7S HD with a firmware of January.

Then I thought I should push the newest version on the device. The firmware V7HD didn't work. There was just no selection to flash that bin.

With Firmware V7S it worked. The device is still alive, but unfortunately there is no unicable option anymore.

I used the European Version and I am not sure if I took the correct FW.

Could you please help to get unicable working again?

Before the update everything worked well...

Frustrating...

Freesat units will only load the software for that unit.
You can not load V7HD into a V7s.

I will look at the unicable option on my unit to see if this has gone.

I downgraded my software to the Jan 2018, and yes there is unicable options there.

I did this downgrade first by the "Maincode" option and the box bricked.
I recovered this via flash.bin recovery using the same software I had there before (May2018) and downgraded again using the "All" code option. This worked.

Freesat made changes to the user data file system to make it match the V7HD format in 12/04/2018 software.

NOTE: if you downgrade to before this 12/04/2018 software version by the "Maincode" option you will brick the unit due to this user data format change. Use the "All Code" option to go back more than 12/04/2018.

It looks like when they changed the user data format at 12/04/2018 they removed the unicable option.

Engineers Please note:
The Unicable LNB setting was removed at the 12/04/2018 software update / user data file format change.
Please return Unicable to the LNB option list.
