Presuming you want your ird and boxkey from the dump use boxkey extractor1.5 to read the dumps and generate funcard.

No need to erase or programme chip. Just solder back on

What's the reason for some people who erase the chips and write hex file on it.
just asking as i've been reading a PDF file on it.

BTW cheers for the reply Thalamus

Usually find they reflash the atmels when they want to downgrade the receiver software from CR3 to CR2 to watch PPV with funcard and then mod the receiver to stop the update back to CR3.

Or it could be they just want to clone a working box.

cheers m8, i took the simple option of just dumping it and reading it with BK extractor

abit of bad luck the dumps gave me wrong BK and IRD, can someone please help.
just need to know how to read and dump an Atmel. :|

did you id the chip? save as hex, use bk finder, whats the size of dump? 5.62meg each, is size for twin chips. 2.81meg for single chip. they also give wrong bk\ird if you put dumps in the wrong way around.

cheers guys sorted it out at last,

problem now is after i installed both chip's in the box, i get funny numbers on display after a minute or two.
is this becuase of leg's making bad contact?
