V8Super fake from SATXTREM M-Acesl Store bricked
I really bought that box from that seller some months ago and thought it was original.. After upgrading to V8_Super_20181025.zip if began to show every 5 minutes more or less a message "This is a pirate box", so I though OMG I don't have an original Freesat, now what... Then I switched it off, and never boot again at switch on...
I've tried to put flash.bin in a FAT32 pendrive and MENU button at boot, no luck. I've also tried with TCOM and a RS232 connection, no luck neither....
So I have a bricked box? Do you know any other method to flash it???

The best thing for you to do at this point is buy a true Freesat, can it be fixed, yes, is it worth it no.soyyo222 wrote:I really bought that box from that seller some months ago and thought it was original..

Here is how they kill a clone, Freesat team gets there hands on a clone and find the Bios chip number used by the cloned receiver, for the most part all the clones will use the same number, they kill that bios number with software, the only way to fix it is with a new Bios chip and a copy of a true Freesat bios chip software.
I know, I have done it with other brand receiver like the Jynx box, it's just not worth the trouble when you can just replace the receiver for around 40 USD.
Re: V8Super fake from SATXTREM M-Acesl Store bricked
Thank you very much for your answer! The sad part is that I bought It thinking it was an original Freesat... And installing an official firmware I just notice It was a fake, and broke it... Wasn't it enough the message "This is a pirate box" every 3-5 minutes??? I think the manufacturer didn't think it was enough...
I've also noticed ALL the stores that sell copies shows the front photo with a black USB connector, and the box received had a WHITE USB connector. I didn't though It was important until I read the post about V8 super copies...
Now that I don't know If I buy an original or a fake, and after this experience it's sad to say I cannot buy another Freesat with enough confidence, as I cannot know If I'm buying an original or a fake, because the photos shows an original one... Too sad. And If it also happens with Jynx, I can discard them too...

And where do we find one of these ??? The Openbox S9 also brought out a clone kill bin, but they advised how to check if you had a clone and allowed you to wind back the firmware in case you had been duped into buying a clone...sad day, the writing is on the wall...

Bad news... clone kill bins... ok they will kill the clones but will also kill their sales... I for one will not buy another Freesat/GTC box as it may end up bricked. Freesat/GTC should go after the unscrupulous dealers, not after the innocent customers

Re: V8Super fake from SATXTREM M-Acesl Store bricked
Sure it's a clone, but in this case they named it "SATXTREM v8 Super", not Freesat v8 SUPER, they have changed it in all their copy products...T95KPRO wrote:Check image #4...the real boxe have scart and no L,R,V RCA plug.
