Hi,
Your query > "Instructions on how to install new keys and activate an FTA receiver using a 2GB Cruzer Micro Flash Drive with 3 smarth technology"
Generic responses:
1. depending on your FTA receiver (brand/model/version) (BlackBird, MultiStar, UltraStar, Pansat, Digiwave, Viewsat, Coolsat, Fortec, Ariza, Twinhan... or even clones) you would need to download the appropriate firmware/satellite keys using your PC & Internet connection;
2. links to firmware/satellite keys maybe available from your FTA receiver manufacturer's website or forums such as
HashHU
FTA 3. in your PC, unzip the downloaded firmware/satellite keys to a temporary folder;
If you are using a stand-alone hardware FTA box:
a. plug in your 2GB Cruzer Micro Flash Drive to one of your PC's USB port;
b. copy/paste the unzipped files in the root directory of the Flash Drive. Verify that you have the .bin or .pmg of whatever your FTA box is using;
c. remove flash drive from PC's USB port and insert into the USB port of the FTA receiver;
d. on the FTA box, using your remote, go to Menu, Settings or Sytem Information, keys, firmware or receiver Upgrade, select USB, select Flash, Save, Activate or Upgrade;
e. wait until the FTA box has uploaded to itself the new firmware/satellite keys;
f. reboot (power on/off).
If you are using PC-based FTA satellite receiver:
i. run your FTA receiver program;
ii. select for Tools/Options/Upgrade or Update;
iii. browse/direct to search in your temporary folder where downloaded files were unzipped;
iv. once found, click OK/Update/Upgrade;
v. in some brand/model/version, there is an auto upgrade/update feature which will download appropriate firmware/satellite keys if you are online.
Hope that the this be of some help/idea. Pls post back how things turned up or should you need additional information.
Good luck and kind regards.
Hi Christine
The important thing to do right now is to NOT write anything to the flash drive until a data recovery has been performed on it.
There is still a good possibility of recovering your data.
This will be a process so keep a lot of patience in your pockets.
There are data recovery utilities available for flash drives.
I have a couple of questions for you 1st.
(01) Was your data on your flash drive encrypted in any way?
The reason I ask is, it's doubtful that your flash drive itself was updated - rather software that resides on it was likely updated. Often times, it is data encryption software that is installed on flash drives.
(02) Do you know what software was updated on the Cruzer Micro?
(03) Did you have to type in a user name and password in order to access your flash drive?
