Background: The PUFF bins are nearing the upper limits of the memory capacity of the 2500 boxes. That means that boxes that have the couple of extra bits of memory available work ok with the new 204 Bin but most converted boxes get stuck on"F" simply because there's not enough memory available to run the processes.
A working solution: The best known way of clearing all the junk for the memory is to reconvert to PUFF. Therefore, after my box got stuck of "F" a couple of times, I ran the PUFF 1.0.1 conversion once again to clear the memory as best as I could and then reloaded the new 204PUFF Bin and the box rebooted all the way to "ON".
I then loaded my saved channel list using Channel Master and am back to watching TV.
Free TVers can wait for a new improved Bin if the want but you testers out there can get cracking and try this solution on your own boxes and report back on this thread if possible.

First run UKR Flashfix and wait for PUFF to appear and then switch off and switch on and hit write as soon as p appears and wait for On to appear, do antenna setting and Blind scan
UKR Flash fix and Fwank 204 PUFF and download from Nalin website
Switch off the receiver open BL updater Select UKR Flashfix and switch on receiver and hit write as soon as switch on and wait for Rolling PUFF to appear and when it stops at F then Switch off receiver Open BL updater select Bin Fwank 204 switch on receiver and as soon as you see P on receiver hit write and when wait for On to appear on receiver
201, 202 203 and 204 are full EMU BINs. 299, 300, 301 are NOT full EMU.
Channel master or saved channel list may only be used (with luck) directly from 299 list to 300 or 301 list, although I did have problems using a 299 list on to 301. Also you may try using a 203V2 saved channel list on a 204 load. It may or may not give problems.
The best thing to do, and I have advised this often enough is for PUFF converted boxes: 1. Note down Antenna settings. 2. Delete all channels. 3. Do a system reset. 4. Do hardware reset (turn off and on from back switch) 5. Load PUFF_204 BIN. 6. Do hardware reset again. 7. Do User setup including time. Remember that even a wrong time might send the EPG searching. 8. Do ONE antenna setup. Do not use a user defined satellite. 9. Do hardware reset again. 10. Do one blind scan. 11. You WILL see TV at this stage. 12. Do hardware reset again. 13. Do other antenna setups. 14. Do other Blind Scan. 15. Do Favourites and Parental control. 16. Do hardware reset again. 17. SAVE THIS under Channel master for later use. 18. Watch TV using FAV and EPG instead of haphazardly scrolling though channels.
There may be too many hardware resets in the above, but remember they only take a minute at a time. When the dust has settled and the full EMU BINs are more robust, you won't have to go through such an elaborate process.
I don't recommend Ftaprosupport.com...the owners have become greedy and are ONLY interested in selling PUBLIC files now...they are into it ONLY for the money now..and are slowly becoming a 100% Private site selling Public files..also their prices have almsot doubled since their start and the owners are increasing them almost daily...U get nothing at that site that any other doesn't offer for FREE!...EVERYTHING they have there can be received for FREE at any other site on the internet!..
Ftaprosupport.com has been reported as a SCAM site due to their lying ways and selling PUBLIC files..
BTW...szot is now at this much better site linked below, that has all the Files FREE and before Ftaprosupport.com...and better support!
