DCT 2224 ph8 boot up issues!

Post by lowjackd »

I have a dct 2224 that i started having issues with channels starting to say one moment please, so i tried to reprogram allowing channels update to happen, left update channel list unchecked in firm, all went well however i accidentily clicked on checksum code and wrote to the nvram after this...

box now on boot shows 8888 then ---- then reboots...

i seen another posting about 8888 but was not sure if that meant e11?
what constitues an e11?
is there some way to recover?
thanks in advance for your help!

lafarge is right, do some searching on how to fix a bricked box and come back and ask questions as needed. but please take some time to do some reading first as that is the only way to learn..i hope you made a backup of the box??

Its not a BackUp Issuse. PH8 Is the Toughest box to Debrick. I personaly DON'T Use the Auto Script. I have better Luck doing the commands manually.......
