I found this on one website. They said that the fortec can be converted to Pansat 2700 without Jtag. Has anyone tried it??

Here is the loader you can use for the 2500-2700. Forget about using 2 different loaders or Jtagging this will do both the boot and bin writes. I attached the b75 boot file and 208 bin by jvvh with the Fortec uploader 4.0. Use the same cable you always have used to do your reciever and it doesn't matter if your reciever is already converted to 2700 or still using the pansat 2500 bin it works the same way for both.
Open up boot file in loader and check off boot on loader and choose your correct model. Turn reciever ON wait for it to fully boot up then click download. When complete you will get b 7 5 rolling across reciever front panel leave reciever ON load the 208 bin in loader and change loader to flash and click download. Wait for it to complete then b 7 5 will roll across screen twice it will hang on 5 for about 30 secs then turn ON. Power off hook up to TV and sat cable,put in your antenna settings and scan your sats and thats it.
Yep. Tried it on my Vortex 7700 and now it works better than it ever did before. Love the fact that it picks up the time automatically - you just set your time zone and exit.
One reservation though for the overly cautious: All future a BIN updates would probably have to be the same kind of moded BINs, not the ones we are used to.
I can live with that because once you go 2700, you never go 2500.;>)) As always, try at your own risk but, like I said, it worked like a charm for me.

Not my box so what did i care,and tried it.
Worked exactly as stated on a FLU.Now works exactly like a 2700 with even the sat signal beeper.Sets the time and all.
Weird when load 208 bin it say mismatch file,just disregarded and it worked anyway.Loader was 4.0
