How To get the "0" off and boot from Tsop

I have recently receive emails. They all belong to the same problems.

The problems are.
1. "0" displyed.
2. The firmware can not boot from TSOP for CR4 or PH6 board.

Now I compile a step by step guide for those beginners that just get the box off ebay. All the firmware and NVRAM can be download at http://www.usbjtag.com

1. If you have a PH7/8/9 and have "0".
Step one, download 0793tvr7304rSPI.zip. Program two segments. One for firmware and another for TVGuide.

reset 1 init ldram 400000 flshdct 400000 program 406000 aa000 program 4c0000 90000

Step two. download ph8tvr7304r.zip

ldram 200000 setram 200000 40000

Now your box is out of the "0" state. If you want to have your local channels. Find a box (any type). Back up the NVRAM. Use the first C000 to your PH8 box.
Back up a known good box.

reset 1 init getram 200000 40000 save nvram  (goodch.bin)

Go to your PH8 box

reset 1 init ldram 200000 (goodch.bin) setram 200000 C000

2. For PH6/CR4 box. To get the box boot from TSOP flash.
Step one, find which type the box is.

reset 1 init getram 200000 40000 d 234f09

If it is 1, your box is type 1. If it is 2 it is type 2. If it is 0. You need to try both until you know which is the one to use.

For type 1 box. The step is the same as PH8 board. Use PH61.ZIP instead.
For type 2 box. Flip the firmware is needed. here is how to program the box.

reset 1 init ldram 400000 (0793tvr7304rSPI.zip) Select from the tool to flip the firmware. flshdct 400000 program 400000 200000.
