The RS232 port connection
is inside the unit.
RS232 recovery here.
With normal GT Media software, not Mars, you can use
the USB flash.bin recovery method.
Recovery with Mars is different and uses update.bin
Mars can only return to normal GT Media software via RS232

Обновил на свою голову прошивку Mars, а на ней не находит 3 цифровых канала из 20. И внешний жёсткий диск перестал читать.
Как откатиться на обычную нормальную прошивку? Какой провод нужен?

Yes you would need to have wifi set up to use that method.
You can still put the file on the USB stick and load it from there.
