Re: factory reset

hi chriskinn and welcome!

Honoustly, I don't have an openbox, but when I look back at some other brands, they all kept their firmware after factory reset.
Tip anyway: before resetting, always try to take back-ups of all you can (firmware, channels, sat settings), one never knows ...

edited: apparently openbox wipes also firm after reset, so different from boxes I know, thanks microchick

beware chriskinn

i have done myself in the past, 2 factory resets, and lost all. (in tech-no-mates, 5000,1500, models)
a factory reset means as it left the factory, (no third party support)
state why you want to do a factory reset, willing members could help.

thats what a forum is for.

Re: factory reset

I believe you are using a Openbox X3 use x3 lan tool:



Use this to backup everything from firmware to cline it is very simple to
use if you have any problems post again.
It can also help when upgrading firmware or changing clines no need for
USB stick.

Re: factory reset

I believe you can disable subtitles by clicking the subtitle button on the channel and switching off. There is another thread here.

Yes, It will remove your existing firmware and will revert your receiver back as when you bought it. After factory reset its a good idea to make a back up of your factory firmware by making a dump file. In case you need it in the future.

Re: factory reset

when dumping in factory installations the current version images remains, but all settings and the list of channels are dumped, usually dumping in factory installations do for installation of the new version of the images

Re: factory reset

Yes, in case something goes wrong with the new firmware and you are not able to do a factory reset, dump files handy in this case. It will store the only sats which were built in in the firmware.
