With every device software upgrade, comes some degree of risk to the device itself. In the course of upgrading your gsky decoders to the latest available software via USB, some of you might have killed the receiver. You can soft-brick your gsky and any other receiver for that matter by making some of these mistakes: 1. power failure during the upgrade, 2. corrupt software, 3. incompatible software and so on. The good news is that you can revive such dead Gksy decoder via the universal Gsky pc loader known as GSKY_RS232_upg PC tool.
Yes, you can revive your decoder using a computer, rs232 cable, compatible gsky software and Gsky pc loader/tool.
GSKY_RS232_upg PC tool for Dead GSky Decoders Revival
I want to quickly chip it in that the pc tools only work with a gsky decoder that is soft-brick(Soft-brick in the sense that it has a major software problem mostly caused by wrong upgrade, an incomplete upgrade or failed upgrade. if your gsky is having a hardware problem, this will not work for you.
Pay attention
REQUIREMENTS
- An original gsky decoder
- you must own a desktop computer or borrow one or have access to one
- you must own or borrow an rs232 cable(you can buy one from computer shops or ask your local satellite installer to help you get one)
- Then download the gsky pc tool here
- Download the software for gsky v3 or v6 here
Process of Restoring the Decoder
- After downloading the pc loader and the software from the links above,
- Extract the .rar pc tool so that you can have access to the folder inside.
- open the extracted folder that goes by the name “GSKY_RS232_upg_tool“
- Then run the file inside the folder named “TCOM_UPG.exe“
- Choose the correct “COM PORT” for your serial port.
- Choose the upgrade software
- Click start and then power on your dead decoder.. once the upgrade completes, you can continue enjoying your Gsky normally as if nothing happened in the first place.
I get error installing TCOM_UPG.exe “the application has failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect. Please see the application event log…”
@Steven: It is either you have an incompatible OS or a missing driver.
I found it. It was install the right Microsoft Visual C++ I think it was 2008 32bit or 64 bit. then it worked. I wish i could direct it to the most recent C++ yet not sure if I can.
