Found this around and about

\/irgin+ v2.1 Lite (fta) Image!! ### And now for something completely differerent...

I know that many peeps out there are still struggling with cam switching and au'ing. The majority of these peeps will be using a three cam setup.

I've discovered a strange anomaly with this scenario- and it goes to prove that despite four year's experience of dbox2 and neutrino, I'm still learning new things every day!

What's occurring here?

Assume you AU fine with mgcamd and it has created it's own SoftCam.Key file, or updated an old one you supplied it with. But let's say it's freezing, so you decide to try another cam.

If, at this point, you decide to switch to g*box- all will be well. The keys will be copied from SoftCam.Key to nagra (which will be created if it doesn't exist, or updated if it does already exist).

On the other hand, if you were to switch from mgcamd to evocamd, again- all would be well. BUT! Here's the little gem that kept me up till 3am this morning:

If evocamd finds a valid set of keys in SoftCam.Key - it doesn't bother creating it's own Keylist.txt file!!

The converse is true, too: If mgcamd finds a valid set of keys in Keylist.txt then it will use those, and not bother creating SoftCam.Key!

Now switch to g*box from either of these scenarios, and the keycopy routine is fubarred- we get a 62 byte nagra file, empty of keys, and FTA only...

The 'Fix':

Unrar the attached patch file and FTP it the /bin folder (NOT /var/bin) - overwriting the existing file of the same name, which is miniops

When you try it all over again, it will work properly, by using brute force to make these two lazy bone-idle cams create their own keyfiles properly, by deleting the 'other' one in the cam switching process!!

You'll know that the real file has been written, because there'll be a momentary picture freeze between 5 and 20 seconds after the new cam has started, then it'll clear.

would this fix my ch freeze on my dbox2?

There's a good chance it will mate due to its default setup.

You'll need to do a bit of work after the flash so be sure to read the readme file very carefully before starting.

yup finally sorted
what i did was inseterd this file "miniops" ito /bin downgrade me evocam and inserted fresh cpys on nagra 7,10 n 11

that has sorted it champion... Thanks for all ya help lads.....

nagra 7, 10 n 11? How many pairs of nutcrackers do you need to break one brazil nut? LOL!

Yes, one- not three. So you can delete all the rom10 and rom11 files- and just leave the three rom7 files in there to 'crack the nut' for you. And nothing in that paticular folder needs chmod 755, either. Just thought I'd mention that in passing...

Cheers- AL
