Opticum 9600 mini stacks on boot!

[harriscs]

Hello from Greece. I am glad to write in this great forum! Sorry but I don't speak German so I will use english.

I have a problematic 9600 mini receiver which cannot boot. I would like to ask you if there is any way to flash the bootloader along with the firmware, because I have a friend's receiver 9600 mini which stays on boot. The LCD screen displays a "boot" message and stays there! Obviously, the bootloader got corrupted after a wrong flashing. Is there any way to re-install the bootloader and use this receiver again?

I have tried to install many different firmware files (.upd files) with HyperTerminal, but none of them could solve my problem. I think that all of them are just software files for my model but they don't restore the bootloader. The file transfer completes successfully but the receiver remains on boot stage. Thanks.

PS: Is there any particular serial flasher for Opticum receivers or the only solution in my case is Hyper Terminal?

Thank you very much for your quick reply. I have tried flashing the original firmware but the problem persists. I use HyperTerminal (an exe and a dll) under Windows 7 64bit with the known settings (115200, 8, none, 1, none, send file -->Zmodem with Crash Recovery). The file gets transfered normally but after a reboot the STB stacks on boot. I have to say that the problem began after a failed update through USB. The user tried to install a new firmware but the box freezed during the update process and the user decided after 15' to power the box off. In the next boot the 9600 mini got stacked in the boot stage. Any other solution?
