We have two major problems plaguing qsat decoders. One is hardware (difficult or almost impossible to fix) problem which can occur anytime especially when you finish upgrading your qsat decoder successfully. To learn more about this hardware problem of qsat and how to prevent it, please read my article here. The second problem happens as a result of bad software upgrade of a qsat or speed hd decoder. It mostly occurs in when there is a power failure during the software upgrade process which always results in a “BLUESCREEN OF DEATH” with an inscription “DOWNLOAD FROM TS”. In this post, i will teach you how to fix qsat download From TS(applicable to speed hd, cobox and nusky).
Especially relevant: How to Troubleshoot any Hardware Problems With any Satellite Decoder/Receiver
I already wrote an article here on how to recover your qsat q11g, q16g, q13g, q11g+, q13g+ and q15g from download from ts problem. However, when qsat q23g, speed HD, and newer decoders were released, the above methods used in reviving older versions of qsat was failed to work for qsat q23g, speed HD and newer models. Hence the reason for putting up this post which is about recovering your qsat q23g or your speed HD s1 or s2 from Download from ts software problem.
How to Fix Qsat Download From TS-Which Occurred as a Result of bad Software Upgrade
Once there is power outage while you are upgrading your qsat or speed decoder, there is bound to be soft brick known as “download from ts on your decoder. To fix this, you need the followings:
Pre-requisites
- Stable electricity (since the problem was initially caused due to unstable electricity, please this time around use stable electricity so as to prevent a worse situation)
- Download this software for qsat q23g you can as well use any other qsat q23g software at your disposal.
- Download this software for speed HD s1
- Get a clean compatible empty USB flash drive. Please don’t use an external hard disk. Also, don’t use your phone as the storage device and don’t use a card reader.
Important Notice: If you are using the software above, you don’t need to extract them because i already extracted them. the default extension of the files is *********.bin e.g Speed HD S1_V6.06.83_2014052309.bin (Note: If you are not seeing the .bin in your own case, it means you are using a windows computer with hidden file extensions. please set your computer to show file extensions.
Steps to fix qsat download From TS
- First off, you will have to rename the software from whatever is the default name to “rom” remember for older versions of qsat, we had to rename to “rom.bin” if you rename to rom.bin for qsat q23g, speed hd, q26g, or newer models, your qsat or speed won’t detect the software. so, for example, rename Speed HD S1_V6.06.83_2014052309.bin to rom in other words, you will have to completely delete the file extension(.bin) and also change the name of the file to rom.
- Copy the renamed software into your flash drive,
- Completely power off your qsat q23g decoder
- Now, insert your flash drive to the usb port on your qsat or speed decoder
- power on your qsat or speed HD
- Now wait until the “rom” performs its magic and bring your decoder back to life

Good Lovely Morning Presido Of All Kind Of Decoders And Dongles,
I Downloaded Your Software On How To Revive Your Dead Qsat 23g As You Said, And Renamed It With “.rom” But Up To No Avail Bro…
So Bro Please What Can I Do Next???
@smith; what is the error message? if your decoder is not detecting it at all, it simply means you renamed wrongly. please the file extension matters a lot. Besides you need to use your own latest software for the renaming
Do you mean the flashfile of my machine?? If daz d one yu mean, i dnt have a copy of it cuz i cldnt copy it down frm d machine.
@Alex, download anyone from the site and rename it to “rom”
Lemmy i tried loading it in my q26….it is not taking it;…load error is wat is displaying…………. Daz it means the software to revive q26 is not yet made???
@Alex, use your existing software by renaming it to rom. that is all you need to do to revive any qsat or speed hd decoder. There is no special software anywhere for this sir
I have a q26 and (download frm ts has occured to it) after following ur post i’ve not seen the inclusion of q 26…plz hw do i go by it to get my machine back working……..when available i can follow the steps and do it .thanks…
@Alex, use the same method for qsat that is even yet to be manufactured and it will work
Pls I have the same issue on my Qsat q28g. It just displayed the logo and constantly switch off and on. I have browsed in order to download its ROM but I cud not get it anywhere. Pls kindly tutor me on how to revive it again

Mr. Lemme I av tried changing the different Sims of different networks n even switching between modems. But still no success. My code starts with 41********* can there be code problems
@kboakoh, of course there has always been code problems with qsat
Hi Lemmy, My Q11G account has expired. How can i get it working again? I tried installing the latest update Q11G+_SDB3_CAR_V6.11.20_20141120 but an error code pops up “no match file”. Need your help with this man. Thanks
@Tinx, install the earlier version v6.10 before installing the latest version
Please sir my qsat 11g is not showing live match.please any help?
@james, it is general problem for now.
happy xmas my dear Lemmy. Since upgrading my speed Hd decoder, i have not been able to connect via lan and wifi. then i switch network to lan and wifi, it really shows ‘network connection success” unfortunately withoudt unscrambling channels. I estimate that the new software may be the problem as i read one other person in this forum complaining of same issue. Any head way as far as this problem is concerned? It will be nice to hear from you.
@ngong, new software is not the problem for speed hd s1 besides.. who advice you to upgrade the software of your speed decoder when in actual fact it was unscrambling channels? I don’t see the reason why anybody will tamper with a decoder that is working fine. I hate it when people claim they upgraded and their decoder stop working. why upgrade a working decoder?
Anyways, downgrade your speed hd s1 by installing a older version of the software. search the site for older version of your speed hd s1
Mr lemmy my q13+ has not bn showing since 21st Dec even though it tells me network connection but no welcome to server. I have the latest software v6. 11
please help. Also I av a+ wch I was using but bought qsat after A+ went off somewhere in April this year. How do I renew my A+ please
@kboakoh, please change your qsat sim card. As for A+ there is a renewal but their accounts are trial and error
Please my Qsat boots alright but can’t get any signal. I’ve used different decoder and the signal came but not the Qsat. At the same time the HDMI port also stopped working what can I do to make it work again especially the signal issue? Thank you
@Big G, it is a hardware problem. Please take it to an engineer

Hi Lemmy
Thanks for your reply i have check the website you gave me and found how to bring my Xmaster2 back on track but what i need to know is can i use Qsat software to fix it from blue screen and pls can you define what is Ts.
@sembi, as long as your qsat died due to power failure while upgrading its software, you can bring it back to life by renaming your firmware to either rom.bin or rom
@Lemmy my Qsat Q23G decoder disconnects the 3G modem connection while I’m watching and any attempt to reconnect gives me a message ‘No Dongle Found’. To revive the connection I need to unplug and replug the modem. Eventually I go through the cycle again.
@peter (kenya) that’s the work of a faulty modem, please change the 3g modem
Hi Lemmy
