Thought i would post this since there seems to be alot of ppl ask how::


Pretty up to date(some software and Blockers have more current revisions available-always use latese available)....some reading and insight also.
I. Introduction

I wanted to put together a guide to help people as they get involved in testing Dish. I
wanted to do this to pay back all the people who have helped me over the years. There
are too many to list so I will just say a general Thank You. This document is based on
the Dish system.
This guide is going to cover a Getting Started section, Atmega Section, Emulation Section and Rom3/Rom10 Section.

II. Forms of Testing
There are various forms of testing the Dish satellite system. The main forms of testing
are (not in any specific order) Atmega, AVR3/6/9, G2, DSSRev, RomX,
Rom3/Rom10/Rom11 known as using plastic, and emulation software such as Cemu, the
toad programs, javaemu, etc. The question I see posted a lot is what is the best form of
testing. The answer to this question is based on personal preference. I currently test with
Atmega, Rom3, Rom10, Cemu, WinCemu and Wintoad. My personal opinion is that
emulation software is the most ECM proof way to test (as long as you set up you bin the
correct way). My Cemu unit has been up for around a year and a half, my Roms have
been up for about 4-5 months and the Atmega varies. The reason that the Roms get hit
occasionally is that Charlie has a tendency to hit the blocker code that is put on the Roms.

III. Getting Started
The first thing that I tell people to do when they start to get into testing Dish is to read
two documents. The two documents that I recommend is called Chas1962 newbie guide
and the Maestra Guide. These two documents help you understand the terminology and
concepts behind the testing world. There is also another document that one should read
but it is a little more advanced. This document is Stuntguys FAQ.
There are some items that are going to be needed from the IRD before you can start your
testing experience. These items are the boxkeys, IRD # and CAM ID #. The IRD# and
CAM ID# are pretty simple to get. The IRD# is on the sticker of the receiver and the
CAM ID# is the number on the actual CAM itself. Based on the form of testing you
choose to use, you will need the IRD# and CAM ID# in hex format. This can easily be
done using the calculator in windows. Open the calculator and change the format to
scientific, select the decimal option, type in the ID# and then select the hex option. In hex
format these numbers should be 8 numbers long. If the calculator shows less numbers,
just add zeros at the beginning to make up the addition numbers. For example, if the
calculator shows 103BC just add three zeros to make it 000103BC.
The next piece of information that you will need is the boxkeys. You will use a device
called a Jtag with a piece of software called jkeys to retrieve the boxkeys. There are
various types of Jtags that can be used (i.e. simple vs. buffered). There is always a debate
over which is best to use. My opinion is that buffered is the best method but one can
make a simple Jtag very easily for about $5 dollars worth of parts from Radioshack. I
was going to add a Howto for creating and connecting a simple Jtag but one can find
these instructions at the sites that I mentioned earlier. Maybe I will try to incorporate
those instructions in version 2.0 of the guide.
Once you have the Jtag connected properly to the IRD, plug in the IRD and start Jkeys.
The most current version of Jkeys at this time is Jkeys 2.99 from Dave2. After starting
Jkeys, you will see information pop up on the screen. Some of the information that can
be found on this screen is: IRD type, IRD #, Boxkeys (set of 16 digits), software version
in the IRD, bootstrap of the IRD and build config. One of the biggest problems I had
when first starting testing is that I needed to put an alligator clip on the ground wire and
attach it to the case of the IRD. I found this to solve some of the
connection/communication problems that I had with Jkeys. Once you get the boxkeys
from the IRD, I would write them down, as they will be needed for all forms of testing. I
would typically use a marker and write them down on the bottom of the receiver. I have
included a screen capture of the Jkeys screen to show how it should look (minus my
information of course)
The next piece of information that I want to focus on is creating Tiers. Tiers are what
gives you access to watch specific channels on a dish system. Once the proper tiers are
creating, they can be used for all the various forms of testing. The most common method
for creating tiers is to use a program creating by pjsoft. He created a useful tool for
beginners to help them create realistic looking tiers so that they did not get ecmed for
faulty tiers. This program allows you to choose the tiers for specific channels that you
want to be able to watch and the method of testing (i.e. Atmega) and it creates the tiers
for you. This program is useful but you have to be careful because it does not check if
you add duplicates to the tiers. For example, if you choose AT150 and say the Golf
channel, that would be considered duplicating the tiers because the Golf channel is part of
the AT150 package. Hence this could be a target for an ECM. Here is a screen capture
of an older version Rom Tier Maker that was created by pjsoft. This program allows you
to create tiers based on your testing method.

IV. Atmega
To use an Atmega for testing you will need the following items: Atmega card,
programmer (not an ISO programmer but one for an Atmega), and a piece of software
called Jeepers. At this time, the current solution for using an Atmega was created by
Radarweave.
I think the best thing to do is to explain the layout of a pfg file used with the Atmega. The top portion of the pfg file is the configuration portion and the bottom portion is the flash portion. The flash portion is the code that the Atmega uses to pretend to be an authentic Rom card. The top portion of the file is for configuring the eeprom portion of the Atmega. The eeprom portion contains information like boxkeys, ird#, cam id#, tiers and so on. Once you have the pfg configured, you are ready to open Jeepers and program the Atmega.
The Atmega is programmed as follows:
Open Jeepers then select the pfg file that you want to use under program
Fill in the clock speed that is on your Atmega under board, and select Dish as the network
Leave the advanced setting/Tiers alone
Fill in the IRD#, boxkeys, time zone, zip code and providers keys
For the CAM ID# use S0009876543-XX
After filling in all the appropriate information, select Full Monty to program the Atmega
Plug in the Atmega to the IRD, power on the receiver and watch tv.

V. Rom3/Rom10
Testing with ROM3 and ROM10 is known as using plastic. There are similarities to
setting up ROM3 and ROM10. The items that are needed are ISO programmer, an open
ROM card, a tier maker software such as Rom Tier Maker, and NagraEdit software. We
will first look at doing a ROM3 card.

ROM3
The first thing we need to do is to make sure that we have an open ROM3 card. To do
this, put you ROM3 card into the ISO programmer, open Nagraedit, select Card from the
menu and select Reset Card. This will tell you the version on the card. The card is
considered open if the rev is 372 or lower. If the card is open then go ahead and proceed
with the instructions to program the card, if not send it to a dealer and have it opened. If
the card is opened, the first thing to do is make a backup of the cards image. To do this
from Nagraedit, select Card->One Step Backup. This will create a backup image of the
original card. After we make the backup of the card, we want to clean the cards
programming. This is done by selecting Card->One Step Clean from the Nagraedit
menu. We are now ready to program our card. There are various ways to program a
card, this is just one way to accomplish it. The first thing we need to do is to select the
tiers that we want to put onto the card. The easiest way to accomplish this is by using
RTM that will create a patch of the tiers and the IRD information and then using
Nagraedit to patch the information on the card.
To accomplish this, open RTM select ROM3 in the testing device window, select the tiers
that you want and then select Create NE3 file. RTM will then ask you if you want to add
a blocker, select no. We are selecting no here because we are going to add our blocker
patch after we have applied our tiers patch. Next you will get a window that asks if you
want to add CAM and IRD information, select yes. From here you need to put in all your
information (i.e. CAM #, IRD #, boxkeys, time info).
To determine if you have a rev a or rev b card, after reading the card with Nagraedit, go into the Eeprom editor window and scroll down to the line $E4D0. Now under the byte columns "E" and "F," if you see 07 38, you have a Rev. A cam. If you see 07 05, you have a Rev. B cam. You should also manually add key 0 and 1 or wait for keys to roll. After you are done entering the information, select save and save this file in the Nagraedit directory.
We are now ready to patch the tiers onto the card. To apply the tiers patch, open
Nagraedit, select Card->Reset Card then Card->Read Card. After the card is read select
the Patch Editor tab and select Open Patch and open the file that you just saved from
RTM. Next, select the test patch button and make sure that there are no errors. If there
are no errors, select run patch. This will apply the tiers and the IRD information to the
card. After applying the tiers, we need to apply a blocker patch so that Dish can not
make changes to your card. At the time of this version, the current blocker is Penga. To apply the blocker, you go through the same steps as applying the tiers patch, just make sure that you open the blocker file, then test patch and run patch. After you run the blocker patch, select Card->Write Card. To make sure that you applied the blocker correctly, do a Card->Reset Card. You should notice that the rev now says 381 instead of 372. You should never put the card into the receiver unless you know that the blocker is applied correctly. Once you are sure that you have followed the steps above correctly, you can put the card in the receiver and watch TV.

Rom10
To do a ROM10, the procedure is the same as above with a few exceptions. The first
thing we need to do is to make sure that we have an open ROM10 card. To do this, put
you ROM10 card into the ISO programmer, open Nagraedit, select Card from the menu
and select Reset Card. This will tell you the version on the card. The card is considered
open if the rev is A16. If it is not at rev A16, send it out to a dealer and have it opened.
Here is an update, if the rev is A20 or lower the card can be opened using a program
called Mighty Loader. If the rev is at A21, these cards will have to be sent to a dealer.
Obviously when you use RTM, you are going to select ROM10 under the device window.
After selecting the tiers, press continue and enter you CAM and IRD information. When
done, select create NE10 file. This will create the tiers patch. You will apply the tiers
patch the same way you did with the ROM3 tiers patch. After applying the tiers patch
you need to add the blocker patch. The current blocker patch at this time is NBC4. To
apply the blocker patch you need to do the following. Load the patch called NBC4 in the Patch Editor in NagraEdit. Go down to the first line of code after these instructions (it looks like this:
$C600EADBEEFBAADF00D"). This is the secret backdoor password you will need to
get back into the card. The default password is 8 bytes - "DE AD BE EF BA AD F0 0D".
Change the default password to something else, any 8 bytes in hex will do. MAKE SURE
TO MAKE A NOTE OF THE NEW PASSWORD YOU PUT IN OR YOU WILL BE
LOCKED OUT OF THE CARD. Leaving it as the default is not advised as dish could
use the default password to login themselves and disable the blocker. Hit the "Run Patch"
button at the top of the Patch Editor. A window should appear at the bottom of the Patch
Editor and say "Patch applied with 0 errors and 0 warnings". STOP. Make sure you have
recorded the backdoor password you entered before. If you somehow loose this key you
will be locked out of the card. Hit the Write to Card button on the NagraEdit toolbar to
write the image to the card. The card is now loaded with NBC4 and can be placed in the
IRD to watch TV. Keys may take a few minutes to roll - you will get a flashing 005 error
on most IRD's while this is happening.
To make changes in the future to the card you need to remove the card lock. To remove
the card lock, open the Tools menu in NagraEdit and select Remove Card Lock, enter the
8 byte BD password you entered before and click OK. You should see "Card
Successfully Unlocked" in the NagraEdit message window. If you get error, the password
is wrong or the card does not have NBC loaded on it. You can now use NagraEdit to
make changes to the card. Just make sure that after you make changes to the card, you
reapply the NBC4 blocker patch before you put the card back into the receiver.

VI. Emulation Software
Emulation is the type of testing that involves using a PC connected to the receiver
through an interface device. By using specific software, the computer emulates an
authentic CAM to give access to viewing channels on the IRD. There are various items
that are needed to do emulation: some type of interface device, a computer, emulation
software, and a cable to run between the PCs serial port and the interface device.
There are various types of interfaces that are available. The two main types are an AVR
or a RS232 interface such as max/mel interface or the RS232 interface. I was going to include a discussion on interfaces but one can read that.
There are various types of emulation software that is available: CEMU, WinCEMU,
JavaEMU and the toad programs. I am going to focus on CEMU and WinCEMU in this
version of the guide. I will include information on Wintoad and JavaEMU in version 2.0.
Now let look at how to configure and run CEMU. CEMU is a dos based program that is
based on a ROM3. The way emulation software works is they are designed to emulate
the software that is on an authentic CAM by using two files, rom3.bin and eeprom.bin.
The rom3.bin should not be touched or modified in any way. The eeprom.bin file is the
file that contains the IRD information such as boxkeys, IRD # and also contains the tiers
that allow specific channels to be viewed.
The first thing that we need to do is to initialize the interface device. One can use a
program called fbprg16. This program is used to flash the atmel chip on an AVR to
allow the AVR to be used to handle the PC serial to IRD communication.
The next thing that we need to do is to configure the cemu.ini file. This file is used to
configure how the cemu program is used. For example, the cemu.ini contains
information such as com port to be used, baud rate, name of rom3 and eeprom bin and so
on. Here is a description of the changes that need to be made. The first change relates to the com port. You need to change the port/irq/base address as it relates to your configuration. Next, you will need to enter the IRD, CAM, boxkeys and blackout string in hex format. Next, you will need to change the information that relates to location. These items are daylight savings, time zone and zip code. That is all that needs to be changed in the cemu.ini file.
The next thing we need to do is to configure the eeprom.bin file so that it contains the
appropriate IRD info and tier info. The first thing I do is to use a program called Xcel to
enter my IRD information into the eeprom.bin file. Just open Xcel and open the
eeprom.bin file and enter your IRD information (valid CAM#, the IRD#, boxkeys all in hex and also add the time zone and blackout string).
After entering the information, you need to save the eeprom.bin file back to the emulation
directory.
Next, you need to add the tier information to the eeprom.bin file. I use the program
called WBInfo 3.3 for rom3. There are numerous ways to add your tiers but this is the
method I use.
After loading the eeprom.bin into WBInfo 3.3, select the tab called Tiers 5. From there
you can paste the tiers that you want and hit the apply to bin button. After applying to
bin, you can hit the tab called tier data 4 to make sure the tiers you applied are correct.
The final thing you need to do is to create a dos boot disk. After you have created a dos
boot disk, copy the modified files from the emulation directory. Connect the cable to the
serial port that you mentioned in the cemu.ini and the other end to the RS232 interface or
the AVR interface. You then need to boot the computer with the disk in the floppy drive
and type cemu. The cemu program will start. After a minute or two, plug the power cord
of the IRD in and you should start to have a picture.
The nice thing about cemu is that it does not require a powerful computer. I have heard
of people using an old Pentium to do cemu emulation. In fact, the computer I use does
not even have a hard drive, operating system, cdrom or even a video card. Just use a
plain ole dos box.

VII. Easy Fix Method for an ECM
Instead of doing a full tsop erase and rewrite and risk losing critical irretrievable data and
also shorten fix time to seconds use this method to fix an ECM. Here are the steps to
follow:
Use jkeys, connect to the IRD and go to flash programming change FULL in right-upper side memory address drop down window to an SA address specific for your IRD. Here are some examples. These may have changed based on
newer software versions that are being released by Charlie.
301-010 SA3 in flash 1
301-013 SA15 in flash 2
2700/2800/3700 series SA5
3800/3900/4700/4900 series SA30
501/508 SA52 or SA54
508 SA60 in Flash2
save this address to disk (takes few seconds!!)
Use Hex Edit to edit the saved file search e6a2 and f out next 10 digits AFTER the e6a2 that start 78 88 B4 4F 14
Save the modified file
Using Jkeys, connect to the IRD, select flash programming
erase this ird specific SA address, do it 3 times (do not erase if Full is in the window
change it to SAx )
Re-write fixed SA bin again, make sure that the window has your specific SA address
and NOT full
watch tv
this above fix takes all of 2 minutes!
DO NOT TOUCH IRD WHILE IT DOWNLOADS

VIII. Softlocks
This portion I am taking from a thread by Mister1000. I feel that it does a good job of
describing softlocks. Here is a shortened version of the thread:
First there are three different versions or approaches to softlocks:
The LUTZ Diagram approach (great find by the way kudos to you )
The newest Flashedit approach (Blacks awesome job)
The SatFTA CRC ECM ReViVer(one of the deepest thinkers in this hobby)
We all have read enough about this to understand that Lutz Diagram found that if he read
his tsop, searched for the String E6A2FFFFFFFFFF with a hex editor, changed the byte
from A2 to A5 and then saved the new file, he could in effect disable the effects of an
ECM on our receivers (i.e. no location ID00000001). You could just reboot , unplug the
card, etc and we are back in business. Thru trial and error probably, Lutz also discovered
that he needed to correct the checksums- CRC of the receiver to keep it from going into
update mode and reloading current firmware back to the receiver thus removing any
changes to the firmware he had applied. Thus Lutz Diagram needed to go one more step
and correct these checksums using Flashedit2 by opening the file, going to advanced
mode, and verifying specifically the App Area Checksums. Lutz found that this needed to
be corrected, and he did so. Saving the file a second time then writing back to the
receiver, all is well and seems to work. Blacks being the man that he is incorporated into
his newest Flashedit 2.0a the softlock patching process where by his software searched
for the string, edited the string, and corrected the checksums. But why and to what,
should be the question we ask ourselves. Well the why, we know, is to disable the effects
of an ecm. The what is to satisfy the CRC checksums of the receiver and keep it from
updating the firmware and removing our changes.
Yes. But did it really? Lets look at the strings a little deeper,
E6 A2 FF FF FF FF FF non ecmed ird
E6 A2 78 88 B4 4F 14 ecmed ird
E6 A5 FF FF FF FF FF LUTZ with flashedit crc app area repair E6 A5 FF C8 30 81 85
flashedit2.0a patch mmm very interesting. A lot of peeps would search for the string a
second time and would come up blank. I think you can see why. This is where I believe
SatFTA being the deep thinker he is said, wait a minute, how does that work? What is the
significance of the A2 byte as well as the FF FF FF FF FF Bytes and the 78 88 B4 4F 14
Bytes lets rip it down and see. So what has changed on an ecmed ird.
E6 no change
A2 no change
78 ecm marker as per SatFTA
88 B4 4F 14 Can you say CRC corrector.
Why is the question of the day. Charlie wouldn't want to Ecm our receiver and then turn
around and fix it for us would he. MMMMMM! Anyone remember I think in march,
when Bev sent down there first hit and screwed up a lot of subs, then had to turn around
and fix everyone's receivers. What would it take to accomplish this and get everyone up
again including those fiendish Pirates wearing bandanas. How about changing one byte in
the CRC corrector, which causes a corruption in the APP area CRC, and forces the Ird to
reload fresh firmware. Make sense or no??? Now SatFTA, still pondering the A2 to A5
byte change, says wait a minute, what if I disable the marker byte and correct the CRC
correction bytes. Marker byte FF to 00,Charlie cant make it 78 now cause its already
zero. And if I Fix the CRC corrector 8B B4 4F 14 To 4E 08 BF 4B I kill two birds with
one stone, and I didn't change the E6 A2 they are still stock values, because I still don't
fully understand, what or why it is, what it is. And its pretty hard for Charlie to make 00
marker byte a 78 now as it was FF to begin with. So SatFTA satisfies the marker and the
Crc corrector.
Based on this thread, one can see there are three methods to use. I personally used the
last version of the softlocks mentioned on a couple of 3900s at P230 and a couple of
4900s at their current software level. From a testing perspective, I find this a quick and
easy method for recouping from an ECM.

IX. Conclusion
As always the best way to learn is to read, read, read. You will find the majority of the
testing community willing to help you on your endeavor to testing.
Thanks again and Ihope everyone finds this helpful.

I'm a newbie to the dishnet scene, I appreciate your guide. Very interesting. I have one question for you, I have a dp-301.10 receiver and have been reading that these receivers have an anti-avr upgrade. I'd like to use the Cemu software, but will this mean that the AVR board will not work properly ? I saw a site that had some fixes on it for the anti-AVR, using a switch and jumpers, does this work for the Cemu emulation method ??

Thanks for you help.

dude--if you purchase an dish system from walmart you will either get one with the dish500 cards that can NOT be programmed or the new ird's that are cardless, your best bet to get the cheap & the 1's you need if your not in Canada is to run a small add in your local newspaper something like this:

(Pay Cash for new & used sattellite equipment ect.)

you can get complete systems for less than 40-50 bucks...

Hope this Helped

Where are you located? I would looking at switching to someone as my guy is fine, just not that quick. I am in Southern Ont as well, like paying in those CDN dollars.

Other issues- I have 2 receivers, I can go to dish and pay About $650 for 2 recivers with TSOp digilock etc. or i can wait, invest $400-450 in direct for 2 new cards.

Does Dish go down? Can i get all the love on it, ie. NHL Network, NFL Network etc.
Very confused......

cali777 have read most your posts and they are excellent, i am not sure what is going on with these other people not tring to get info, i was wondering what was a good place to get an iso that you would trust? {for dishnet}
 

Cali777
Unregistered guest
Smoothy, I guess its just personal preference-i love my DTV and it only requires one dish to get both PPV and regular channels. Dish is probably more reliable right now as the p4/p5 probably won't get the 5+ years out of it that the hu did.

Dish and DTV get the same stuff except dish requires two dishes to access full channels. I know a guy that has a Blackbird with a dish he made that turns like the old huge ones to pick the signal. He gets 1200+ channels!

Ok, I am a newbie here and am trying to decide between DTV or Dish. I will only be hooking it up to 2 tv's. I want one with a built in DVR but also have a stand alone Tivo. What is the best company to go with? And where is the best place to get the cards?

It would seem that Cali777 did a lot of cut and paste from different web sites. Some of it is outdated, and some is good info. Is there still some sorry people that think that the P4, or P5 can be programmed. Wake up and check out what is going on. Go to the web sites that magicusertoo listed and find out how to watch some TV again. You have about 12 months max. before Dish changes their cards like DTV did. After that you will have to put tin foil on those rabbit ears to watch TV. It will take you about 3 weeks of heavy duty reading and asking questions before you can do the Dish. You can not unlock the back door, if it has been stream locked. Just buy an ISO programmer, and forget that old HU loader. You guys are living in the past, and that will have happen again. so move on.

I'm currently in the process of buying a magic card. I'm impressed with what I've seen.

I also have a Dish 6000u Receiver on the way, with an access card (yellow is all I know). Supposedly the included access card was working and was receiving channels via a previous subscription but doesn't carry any balance.

Should I get another access card and try that card?

Should I subscribe using the included access card by calling it into DISH?

Should I buy another access card? If so, which version would be best?

Do I buy another access card directly from DISH? By the way what version of the access card would they send me? Would such a card work?

Thanks.

Need Help, I have 2800 receiver and I am using YvousEMU for emulation. My IRD was working fine and all the channels were there. I only watched for about an hour, suddenly message appeared on the TV " Serious problem with your receiver, contact Dishnet" I restared the IRD and the emulation program, now it shows only channel 580 info, nonoe of the other channel. Did I get hit with ECM. How can I fix it? Thanks
 

It sucks

Hey. That same thing happened to me. I also have a 2800 and Im useing an atmega.

Anyone knows how to do reimage the IDR(dump) in order to make it working again?
 

check this
Unregistered guest
This will reset your IRD to the factory settings. Your EEPROM will need to be unlocked for it to work. Turn on the IRD - Go to the memory dump by pressing the following keys on your remote....MENU, 6, 3, INFO, BROWSE (right arrow), THEME (left arrow). a display of the memory dump should come up on the screen. Once you see this, press the TV./VIDEO button, then press the IRD's front power button, or unplug for 10 seconds.. This will erase all the memory in the EEprom, to include the password that's locks channels.

The object in the first part of the sequence above (Menu, 6, 3) is to get to the Diagnostic Screen. Some units may require a different sequence to get there. Use whatever sequence dictates to get to the Diagnostics Screen. Also, sometimes you may have to push the buttons Info, Right, Left, in quick sequence.

Let's say you don't want to erase password, but rather find out what it is. This way you could be watching those channels your not supposed to be, and no one would know the difference. If this is the case, once you get to the memory dump, don't hit the TV./Video button. Instead, scroll down in the memory dump until you get to the line 01C0. Look at the 3rd group of digits. The first 4 are the password. It is reversed by 2's. (I.e. If the password is 1234, it would be displayed in the Dump in the 3rd group of digits as 3412.

DishPlayer MASTER RESET with the IRD off press 32768 the lights on the IRD should flash to confirm it took it.

Some of the new receivers reset by holding down the power button on the receiver for a few seconds. Below is a picture of a memory dump on screen. It also shows the password line 01C0. The password is 4882.

I have 2 3900s with 2 rom10 cards. I can"t seem to figure out how to add a program to my Ird so that bev doesn't keep hitting it. One receiver works anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour, while the other is just blank after I flashed them both and eraced the sa30 sector 3 times. I am a litle confused as to what to do after that. I have read your info above and am still confused. I was told that I need to download Flash edit 2.0a. Cali777 please help this new user it would be greatly appreciated
