Use the USB flash.bin process using you previous firmware. Do a search in the upper right corner

Go to satgist.com see topic how to recover dead gtmedia v7 v8. The instructions address there using a PC rs-232 method.

flash.bin recovery is done like this.

Place a copy of the unpacked software (the .bin file) on a USB stick and rename it "flash.bin"
With the USB in the unit, power on while repeat pressing "Menu" on the remote. You must use the V7 remote on the V7.
The unit should reload the software.

Also other users say that you must use a USB stick, not a card holder etc and that stick must be 32Gb or under.
Use the rear USB port on units that have two ports.

I have had units that will not recover.
Try using the same software as was in the unit when it crashed, not the new update software.
You must use the correct software, ie that for the V7HD for the V7HD etc, not software for any other freesat units.

Try even older software as the file for flash.bin.

Look at the LED in the USB stick. When the TV shows the message "USB Upgrade, do not turn off" you should see the LED on the USB flash as the file is loaded.
The USB LED should also flash a few times as the unit first powers on and looks at it.
Also users have said to use the rear USB port for this on V8 units.

Good luck

If all fails think of restoring your decoder to factory settings

Can you please advise if old Freesat V7 HD is not supported any more?
Can I use update of V7S HD GT_media for my old device?
My Youtube stopped working already for 3 month.

You CANNOT use any update from a V7s HD on a V7 HD receiver.
