So I loaded the lothario 201 bin on my flu... went in to scan birds and suddenly "no signal"??. I have a 2nd unit with the old bin still connected and get full signal strength (but no channels of course). So I turned it off at the back, turned it back on, and it does the endless 'puff" on the front but never starts up. So I flashed the same file again... smae thing, starts the first time, no signal, turn it off to re-set it and then it won't start at all, endless "puff" across the front.
stated by joebe dont know if it actually works but if it does than all credit to him.
okies heres what I had to do... I had to have all wires hooked up to the box then reput the bin on and when the box rebooted itself it worked. Howver when I had all the wires unplug from the sat and tv and loaded the bin it worked fine. then when I pluged in the wire coming into the house and the wire our to the tv the box rebooted and i experanced the same issues as everyone else. However when I left all wires hooked up and reput the bin on and let the box reboot on its own its currently working fine. Been on working for over 30 mins
You have to factory reset your receiver, then reinstall the 201 file, then reset your sat settings to previous settings, then do a BLIND scan on echo 7 as well as echo 8.6, most everything will be there except for some missing channels. I have done this on my 2500 pansat and it is working on all scanned channels.
Load V201_Full_EMU once you see complete and Let the box reboot, but power off as soon as when you see the first 'P'.. and do not wait for on and channel number to appear. Hook up to TV and power on...
This way one can stop only endless Puff and shows very good signal strength but no picture.
V201_Full_EMU works good but has same issues as everyone else and that's when you reboot receiver you get rolling PUFF...
If your receiver is not by the computer, soon as download is complete and you see the first" P " turn the receiver OFF... Then hook it up and power it on but don't turn it OFF again or it will go to rolling PUFF.
end c/p
So to recap...
Load V201_Full_EMU Let the box reboot, but power off when you see the first 'P'.. Hook up to TV and power on...do NOT shut OFF All should be ok!
If you are going to use the new PUFF_201 BINs, you will have to accept some limitations. NOTE that this applies to PUFF BINs on 2500/FLU conversions
Rolling PUFF workaround...

Ok.. its getting really confusing for some of the members here, and I am amazed how most do not truely search before posting.. sooo.. with this said.. read over this post first before posting about the PUFF EMU. It may have your answer here...
1) Issue: Rolling PUFF - In redneck terms.. this means PUFF just keeps scrolling across the screen.. over and over again. RESOLUTION: Fire up your loader, and reload the EMU PUFF file of your desire. DO NOT DO anything to the receiver, and just click WRITE BIN. Now.. PAY ATTENTION -- If your sat receiver is NOT connected to your TV, then wait for the bin to complete writing. This means, when you see a pop up that says WRITE COMPLETE, and your computer goes "BONG", then reach behind your receiver and hit the power switch to OFF. Now take the receiver to your TV and connect it up the way you would if you really wanted to watch some po*rn. Once connected, turn your receiver on. The rolling PUFF should not happen, and the box should go to ON. If you turn the box back off again, guess what... its going to ROLL PUFF again. Get the idea yet ?
Now.. this part is not for those that had to reconnect everything, but in fact have their lappy connected to their receiver while their receiver is connected to their TV and sat drop. Its easy... just load the bin as you would any other bin. NO NEED to shut off the box at all.. just load it and leave the box alone. Again, once the write is complete, you CAN NOT hit the power switch in the back of the box. It will start rolling again.
Now.. to answer the question about turning off the box using the remote. YES.. you can do this and all is well.
2) Issue: NO SIGNAL AFTER LOADING THE PUFF EMU - Ok. Ask yourself one question. Which file did you use? I tested this theory also. The UKR bin (without SW21) will give you a NO SIGNAL issue. The RESOLUTION: load Fwank's file or load the UKR bin for SW21. Seems to work, do not know why with the UKR, maybe file name issue is incorrect or what not.. no clue, but it works.
3) Issue: After LOAD, CHANNELS DO NOT DISPLAY or DOES NOT A/R - Redneck form again... You loaded the bin file, but when the channel trys to come up, all you see is the channel info, that keeps coming in and out. You do not get scrambled channel, or anything. Just the channel information. RESOLUTION: Also tested on my end: Do a factory reset using your remote, reload the bin file again using ISSUE #1 as your guide, reset sat settings, conduct a blind scan, and vualaa.. all should be working again.
I will update this post as I see more questions coming up.
But please all.. first search and read ALL posts about this issue. All your answers are here, and I personally have read all, and even tested all... even though mine is working fine. Take your time and read over each sentence thoroughly. Read it, perform it in your head, then actually read it again while you actually do the changes you wish to do. Weird thing is, its not much different than loading a new bin as normal. Everyone has just been skipping over a few steps that should be done EVERY time you load a new bin. Fwank has said it time and time again, he does a factory reset EVERY time he tests a new bin. No shortcuts on this one.
You have it right Jusforhaha's I am testing bin 201g from jvvh and the only ways that this bin works OK is .after loaded do a factory setting and set sats,lnb's and rescan, bin is working, all tp's are there. I do not post this bin.but is working...
