In one of my previous articles, I discuss how to setup qsat decoder after a software upgrade. It is sometimes imperative fr you to run into problems that may kill/brick your qsat, speed,cobox, super esat or nusky decoder at some point. Some of the causes of soft-brick for the qsat decoder includes power interruption, attempting to use an incompatible software to upgrade your qsat and so on. Regardless of what causes your qsat decoder to die, this post will help you out as long as it is software-related. For solutions to hardware problems of qsat, read this. This post shall be 2-in-1 as we shall be discussing how to revive a dead qsat decoder as well as how to backup up your qsat so that you won’t lose your setup when you upgrade your software at any point.
The subject of Discussion on this Topic
- First off, you will learn how you can obtain a full backup of your quat’s decoder database in the event that you factory reset your decoder or upgrade your decoder’s software. Taking the backup will help you restore your settings and channels after a reset. I mean once you restore the DB, all your channels, customizations and settings will be restored.
- In addition, i will teach you how to wakeup/revive your qsat, speed, nusky or cobox decoders. You will need this n the event that your qsat suffers a soft-brick which prevents it from booting up. similarly, YOUR QSAT MIGHT HAVE ENTERED A bootloop, or maybe yours is displaying a bluescreen or the dreaded download from TS message.

How to Create aBackUP of Qsat Orginal Firmware and Database
It could be a lifesaver to create a backup of your existing firmware, setup, channels prior to a factory reset or software upgrade on qsat. To do this, follow the instructions below:
- First, insert a virus-free USB pen-drive / storage device into your working qsat decoder. Note: this can be an external HDD or a USB flash drive
- On your remote navigate to Menu>>Upgrade>>USB/Card Upgrade>>press ok twice( this will open your USB device)>>
- Now press the favourite button on your remote as indicated in the picture above(the FAV button enables you to download the whole flash file which is about 9.04mb or more. Alternatively, press the blue button on your remote if what you want to back up is simply your DB(Database).
- You are done, your firmware will be stored as flashfile.bin(xx.0mb, while your Database will be DB.bin(77kb).
- You now have the backup of your decoder’s firmware.
How to Revive a Dead qsat Decoder That is Bricked During a Software Upgrade
Within this context, the damage we are addressing here is when there is a disruption/interruption of the upgrading process of qsat due to power failure. This trick will also work for Speed HD, Qsat Q23G and newer, cobox, q19g and nusky.
Note: You should use the flashfile.bin that was backup from a working qsat decoder of your exact model. E.g, IF YOU OWN A QSAT Q23G, YOU MUST USE A QSAT Q23G FIRMWARE.
Steps on how to revive a dead qsat Q11G, Q13G, Q11G+ and older decoders
- Backup the firmware of a working qsat decoder using my method above. If you have a qsat q11g, you can simply download the one i uploaded here.
- After downloading, extract the .rar archive so that you can get the real file inside which is .bin. E.g for q15g, you will get the following after extraction Q15G _V5.11.23_20131224.bin. Before you copy this to your flash drive, rename the entire filename with the exception of the file extension to “rom.bin“. in other words, rename Q15G _V5.11.23_20131224.bin will become rom.bin. If however, you are using a qsat that is newer than q13g+, for example, you are using a q23g, q26g, q28g, speed HD or newer, you need to rename the extracted file including the file extension to “rom” That is to say, Q26G _V5.11.23_20131224.bin will become “rom”. For the records, “rom.bin” will not work for qsat q23g and newer same way “rom” will not work for q11g and q13g.
- You can now copy this to your empty USB flash drive. Don’t copy it into an occupied flash drive. The only file on the USB pen drive you wish to use must be the rom file.
- The next step is to power off your qsat of with the power switch at the back of your decoder or by removing the power cord.
- Now, insert your USB flash drive to the front USB port then Switch on your qsat and qsat will Auto-detect your custom firmware. Once it recognizes your rom file/flashfile, qsat will repair itself. You only need to watch as this happens.
- After all, is done, your qsat will reboot. Congrats your qsat is back to life.

thanks lemmy i actually freezed my box but its back on … but you need to correct something from the write up as you stated that one should rename the rom to rom.bin, when i did it, and slot the usb and put the box on , it wasnt detected but when i deleted the rom and copied it exactly as its , it worked fine. so i guess it doesnt need any rename… and its V3 had to upgrade to v6..thanks man.
@holawalay, if you backup your firmware yourself, you must rename. But if you download the firmware i provided in my article, you don’t need to rename

@davy, incomplete download, corrupt download or wrong decoder. don’t use the file with q15 or q16. it mainly compatible with q11g, q13g and q15g
just rename it to rom dont add bin to it. it will download authomatically. i tried it just now and it worked
@Ben n Papa, download de rom.bin file. Put the file on a pendrive and insert it on decoder. Now switch on de decorder, it will read de file automatic and ya machine will work. i try it myself and it worked.
Hi Lemmy,
I have tried all the procedure to recover my dead blue-screen qsat decoder when it when off during upgrade. i have change about 3 USB and yet still it cannot pick the rom.bin file. Kindly help out. Thanks for the good job anyway.
@Ben, then locate your local installer to help you out thanks. i have always said you should use the backup file of a working qsat decoder or use the generic rom.bin file that i uploaded. Or maybe you didn’t extract the software after downloading it.

@mathew david, please read this:
You are doing a magnificent job bro! Thumps up and keep up the good work. I have 2 issues:
1. My Q11G is running on V3 still, so after the all-channel-scrambled experience, i got a new G1 AZSKY dongle and connected via the RS232 port. Channels are showing now but pictures are not steady as they freeze very frequently probably due to a synchronisation problem, don’t know. Plz any solution to this?
2. A friend of mine just upgraded his Q11G. can i use the back-up from his Q11G for mine? and is that all i need to do for mine to work perfectly & without the G1 azsky dongle connected. Do active codes have to match too??
Thanks a million!
@uzo, azsky doean’t work well on qsat.

@frank, you should use the complete firmware that you backed up from a working qsat decoder. also make sure you don’t have any other device connected to the decoder not even ur 3g modem. lastly don’t use a card reader, use only a good usb flash drive

thank you lemmy and may the almighty God bless you and your family.
Nice one bro, thank you.
Thanks Lemmy. I extracted the rom.bin onto my pendrive not bcos my qsat was dead but just in case it happens I can use it. When I powered my decoder, it started updating things automatically n sent the decoder to v3. I was soo scared but luckily, I had the v5 on the pendrive n quickly upgraded to v5. The problem is any time, the pendrive is in the decoder before I switch it on, it starts the automatic process of upgrading and never stops. Do u think there can be a way out rather than removing the pendrive every time? Thanks.
@jonathan, it is not advice able to leave a pendrive inside your decoder when you are not using it with the decoder.
Pls Lemmy my qsat only opens up or unscrambles the channels only after 8.30 pm Ghana time since the beginning of the year. I thought it was the upgrade but I’m not sure is it a general problem or ther is something I should do. I have the latest upgrade of v 5.
@Enimil, since you already have v5, there is nothing more you can do.
and why not the original version i.e version 3 for first correcting the blue screen error,then upgrade to version 5?
@frank, if you back up your rom even when you are on version 5, version 3 rom will be backed up.
chairman,more gbosa for your efforts!pls enlighten us more.when you change the name for the flashing is it like Q15G _V5.11.23_20131224.rom.bin. or Q15G _V5.11.23_20131224rom.bin. thanks
@frank, change whatever the name is to rom.bin
Hello Mr. Lemmy, Thanks for the info. much appreciated. Please do clarify a few questions on my mind.
1. Do firmware backups also contain the AvatarcamHD code of the decoder? I’m asking in order to determine if it’s safe to use a firmware from a different decoder for another decoder.
2. What does database backup contain exactly? Is it just settings or is there more?
3. Is it safe to use a database backup from one decoder for another?
Thanks in anticipation.
@Isa Aliyu, it doesn’t have anything to do with the avatarcam code as avatarcam code is activated on qsat server
2. DB contains your settings and cutomisation
3. It is not adviceable to use DB from another decoder but it is safe
Thanks for this timely revival tutorial.was kinda afraid to get my qsat soft-bricked during upgrading(Though succesfully upgraded)
Thumbs up for the good job you are doing.
God bless you.
I wish to say thank you and may the almighty God bless and enrich you and your family.
Thank you Lemmy for the Info. Please can I use the same procedure to wake/repair my fried strong decoder? I have the firmware of my fried decoder but when I connect it to computer or another strong decoder of the same model through srs232 cable for firmware transfer, its not detecting it. If I copy the firmware of the strong decoder to a usb stick and insert it to the decoder and power it on I hope the decoder will repair itself. Thank you for your efforts.
@John, this doesn’t work for strong decoders sir
Thank you Lemmy for this wonderful info. Please I want to know if the same procedure can work for a Strong decoder. I have the firmware of my fried strong decoder but when I connect the decoder to computer or another strong decoder of the same model through srs232 code, its not detecting it. Can I copy the firmware to usb stick and insert it to the Strong decoder and power it on to repair itself as well? I really appreciate efforts.
@john, method, not applicable to strong decoders
Thank you so much. You are the best.
What do mean by “if what you want to back up is simply your DB(Database).” Database – do you mean all the channels and your personnel settings?
Thanks in advance
@Ben, that is exactly what i meant..
Nice one bro. Keep it up
Thanks for this wonderful information.
I have just backed my Rom to a flash drive and am gonna do same to my friends.
May you be richly blessed
Hi lemmy is there a way to check expiration date for a cline ie to verify if the line is for three months or six months or one year. Planning on buying one so would like to know if it is the correct one I will be given thanks

Thank you Lemmymorgan for this useful post. My question is can I use Q11g software for my Xman G8 to v5? Because I don’t have xman g8 software Q11g and G8 look are alike only the start up of booting are different. Thank you.
@abdulmalik, try it at your own risk, but first backup your decoder
