Hello all,
I have a problem after upgrading to the latest software version. I don't have WiFi. I want to go back to the previous version but I can't update from the bin file. After clicking USB UPGRADE -> START nothing happens. What key combination forces the update when turning on the decoder?

EDIT:
I am able to attempt to update during startup. Unfortunately, no firmware wants to move and I still have the version from 17.03.2020

Try using the USB flash.bin recovery process. Do a search in the right upper corner

Method:
press menu when starting the decoder. And rename the firmware file to flash.bin. This method also doesn't work. Unless it's different

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

Instructions are clear enough. Are you downloading the .rar file? Are you unpacking the .rar file to look for the box file inside? File should be .bin. Are you trying small USB 4-16GB? When you rename the file just do rename to flash as the .bin is take automatically. Here are some old files to try with

Thank you for your answer. I have two 8GB flash drives. I try to upload via RESCUE UPDATE (MENU + ON). I did the factory restart. I'm trying to upload through the decoder menu. And nothing all the time. I press OK, the screen will flash and I have version 17/03/2020 all the time. Unfortunately, this version loses WIFI. I will still try with the new version as it appears. I can't upload older versions. Ehhhhh .....

The update progress bar is always 0%. Nothing happens. 1-2 seconds and interrupts the update process.

I have uploaded the latest software from August this year. I noticed in the information that WIFI MAC is 00: 00: 00: 00: 00: 00 while lan is normal address. I think the wifi card is damaged and nothing can be done.
