FIRST -- You will need the latest Loader from BlackList (BL Loader v1.4)
SECOND -- You will need the latest Bin file.
THIRD -- You will need to use a RS232-DB9 Straight Cable.
After you have these materials we can move on to the flashing procedure itself.
There are three known working methods of flashing a receiver; however I will only discuss one (the one I normally use) as it is the easiest method in my opinion.
Steps to follow:
1. Turn your receiver off using the rear power button.
2. Disconnect the receiver from the electrical outlet on the wall.
3. Disconnect the receiver from the television and the Coax Cable from the Sat.
NOTE: If your Flash Cable reaches your receiver where it is located then the above steps 2 & 3 can be omitted.
4. Reconnect your receiver to the wall electrical outlet, but DO NOT turn on the power on the receiver.
5. Connect the RS232-DB9 Straight cable to your PC and Receiver.
6. Open the BlackList Loader and configure your Communications Port (COM 1, 2 or 3) which ever your computer is using. Then Select the Bin file to you are going to Flash.
7. Turn your receiver on using the rear power button and wait for it to complete the boot sequence. You will now see a message on the front of the receiver "On" or a channel number.
8. Turn your receiver off using the front power button or the remote.
9. Now select either "Write to STB" or "Download" (depending on the loader you are using).
10. You will immediately see a progress percentage on your computer as well as the front receiver display.
NOTE: 1. If you do not see a progress percentage you have selected the wrong Com Port so you will need to start the process again using a different Com Port.
2. It if very important that once the flash commenced and you see a progress you DO NOT interrupt the process.
11. Once the flash is complete you will see a completed message on your computer screen and your receiver will restart it self.
12. Reconnect your receiver to your television making sure the last thing you reconnect is the power cable to the wall outlet.
13. Verify that your antenna configurations then exit out and turn to either USA or ESPN and wait for your keys to autoroll. Keep in mind the autoroll process can also take up to an hour.

Please don't hijack a thread. If you have a question concerning a different receiver then start a thread. The tittle of this thread is "How to load bin file on Fortec Star Ultra" NOT "MEGASAT"
I am trying to download new bin but It is asking for STB model#. I entered "Lifetime Ultra" and it is not accepting it. I am getting message "Model# is not correct"
Thank you very much buddy, I flashed it using BL loaded and followed your instruction. Then I did a blind scan and exited the menu. Now I see a menu on my left side of the TV screen with channels listed with $ sign. Some of the channels are repeated more than 3-4 times in that menu. Some channels I can see but most of them I cant. How do I find channel for Cricket? It doesn't show 471 or 472 in list. Do I need to sort my menu? How do I get channel in order?
