Take your export_softcam file, and rename it SOFTCAM, so that it reads SOFTCAM.key, and NOT, SOFTCAM.key.key, okay.

When you rename the export_softcam file, just type in SOFTCAM. Make sure the file is saved to the root of your usb stick, and then import.

I use all capitals, but I don't think it really matters one way or another. This is what I do, and it always works for me.

Let me know how it goes. If this doesn't work, it's probably something else going on, and we'll figure out.

This is what I do when updating firmware on my V8 Pro2.

1. Download the latest firmware, and save/extract BIN file on computer.
2. Make sure USB stick is clean, and plug into V8 Pro2, and dump db_sysdata and export softcam onto root of stick.
3. Plug stick to computer, and (1) transfer/save the latest firmware to usb stick, and then (2) rename export_softcam to softcam.
4. Plug stick to V8 Pro2, and using All Code, update firmware. Wait for reboot. Then update the db_sysdata. Wait for reboot. Then import softcam. I don't think it's necessary, but I manually reboot after importing softcam.
5. Save/archive all files on my computer. Clean usb stick.
6. Watch TV.
