Firmware for ci module tricolor. Equipment for digital television is what you can buy in our store

From December 4, 2018 for Tricolor clients. Center" and "Tricolor. Siberia" new launched software(software) for conditional access modules Conditional Access Module CI+, aimed at improving and improving the operation of these modules.

Attention! The update is only available for modules with the following software versions:

1.0.0 (r7516-r7467),
1.1.0 (r7940-r7748).

The current version of the module software can be viewed in the menu of the module itself in the section “Information” -> “Module” -> “Tricolor CI+ CAM” under the line “Software version”.

The location of the module menu in the TV menu structure depends on the model and software version of your TV; for more detailed information, refer to the TV manual.

Depending on the hardware version of the module, upon completion of the update, the module software version will change to 1.2.0 (r8166-r8116) or 1.2.0 (r8168-r8146).

ATTENTION! Do not under any circumstances remove the module or turn off the power to the TV until the update procedure is complete! Otherwise, equipment failure may occur.

To update the module software, you must perform the following steps:

Make sure that pop-up messages are enabled in the module settings. To do this, enter the module menu, select “Settings” -> “Pop-up window”. If the “Current Status” line indicates “Activated/Enabled,” then proceed to step 2.

Otherwise, press "OK" on the remote control and activate pop-up messages. After this, return from the module menu to channel viewing mode.

2. Switch the TV to the Telemaster channel. As a rule, this is number 333 in the general list of channels.

3. Within a few minutes, a message will appear on the TV screen indicating the need to update the module software*. Confirm your consent to start the update by pressing the “OK” button on the remote control.

5. Upon completion of the module software update, the TV screen will display** a proposal to search for channels included in Tricolor services. To search for channels, select the “YES” option and press “OK” on the remote control.

6. The search for channels included in Tricolor services will begin, and you will see a service message about the need to select a broadcast region. Select the region based on where you live and press “OK” on the remote control. Next, service messages will be displayed on the screen about the search for channels using the specified parameters. To save the found channel list, press the “OK” button on the remote control.

7. After completing the update, be sure to check that the software version number has changed. To do this, go to the menu of the module itself and in the “Information” -> “Module” -> “Tricolor CI+ CAM” section under the “Software version” line, check the software version.

The update was successful if the module software version is displayed 1.2.0 (r8166-r8116) or 1.2.0 (r8168-r8146).

* The appearance of messages displayed by the module on the TV screen (color, font, size, position on the screen) depends on the model and software version of the TV in which the module is installed.

** The presence or absence of a proposal to update the channel list after the module software update is completed, as well as the display of the corresponding menus, depends on the model and software version of the TV in which the module is installed.

Tricolor TV HD channels are available again through modules.

So, the essence of the issue is this: both the recommended receivers for viewing Maximum HD channels and the currently not recommended DRE NKE MPEG-4 CAM modules use the common NKE-1 chip from Neotion.

This chip allows for decoding of paid channels that use DRE-Crypt 3.0/ADEC encoding when working together with the required access card. That is, all equipment that was previously used to open HD channels uses the same circuit design.

This omission later made it possible to disassemble the commands responsible for participating in channel decoding and apply them in software for CAM modules, but more on that later. And here a logical question arises - why is it still possible to watch channels on one equipment, but not on another? The NKE-1 chip standardly uses external memory, into which the instructions it uses for operation can be loaded, and in general, thanks to this, it is possible to change the operating algorithm, so to speak, use overcrypt. As a result, initially CAM modules were not equipped with all the instructions for DRE-Crypt 3.0/ADEC encoding.

And for recommended receivers, in the absence of such instructions, the software was updated via satellite. Thus, the Tricolor TV operator deliberately refused to update the software of its CAM modules that support this capability, and simply called them, in short, non-recommended equipment.

How did you manage to find a solution to this problem?

Since Tricolor TV, after free testing of its HD channels included in the Maximum HD (Tricolor Full HD) package on CAM modules, did not encounter any significant problems, it subsequently implemented this solution in its recommended receiver models without significant changes in circuit design. Accordingly, the commands used to decode TV channels in the new modification of the DRE-Crypt 3.0/ADEC encoding can be used both on DRE NKE MPEG-4 CAM modules and on recommended receivers. As a result, after some manipulations with the internal software (dumps) for CAM modules, a new modification from folk craftsmen appeared.

How can I modify the CAM module software?

Currently, memory dumps have been posted for CAM modules versions 4010 and 4020, which were once sold together with Tricolor TV access cards - 23 and 24 series. To change the software, you need to carefully open the module case, remove the board from it, use a hot air gun to remove the flash memory chip - Atmel AT25DF161, flash it with a new dump on the programmer and after installing it on the board, assemble everything in the reverse order. Memory dumps for DRE NKE MPEG-4 CAM modules can already be found on many specialized Internet resources that discuss this issue. If you cannot perform these manipulations, then you can look for a specialist who will provide assistance or change your module to an already modified one, simply paying the difference for the work.

What else is needed to watch HD channels, besides a modified module?

Tricolor TV series 23 and 24 access cards sold together with the CAM module had limited subscriptions to the services provided by the operator. That is, they initially did not plan to operate a separate subscription to HD TV channels. This could have been established a long time ago, when users of such cards tried to officially subscribe to the Maximum HD TV channel package, but the operator using the DRE ID card number immediately turned down all these attempts and they simply ended in failure. After completing the test broadcast of channels in high definition, Tricolor TV immediately changed the subscription class for viewing them and all cards from CAM modules simply cannot open them anymore, even if such cards are used in receivers recommended by the operator.

How can I resolve the issue with the HD channel subscription class of my access card?

Now, this problem can be solved quite simply - purchase the most inexpensive, but recommended Tricolor TV satellite receiver together with an access card to view the Maximum HD package. For example, you can choose the GS 8305 model, and it doesn’t matter that this receiver has negative reviews. After this, the equipment is officially registered with the activation of the access card, which is subsequently removed from the receiver and it is put away in a safe storage location. Next, such an access card is installed in the modified CAM module access and used on your favorite satellite receiver.

That is, the smart cards that were sold with modules will no longer open HD channels?

As already mentioned above, such access cards of the 23 or 24 series simply do not have a subscription class for viewing the Maximum HD package, so without certain tricks this issue cannot be corrected. Over time, when the DRE-Crypt 3.0/ADEC encoding algorithm is studied, it is possible that the commands responsible for working with subscription classes will be revealed, as a result of which it will be possible to modify the recorded data on the card. Also, there is another option - since smart cards are the property of the operator, and based on the fact that he does not have 13 series cards left and those that were sold together with CAM modules DRE NKE MPEG-4, then if it fails , he can replace it with a modern version.

What else can the Tricolor TV operator do?

Since the DRE-Crypt 3.0/ADEC encoding has not yet been fully studied and disclosed, the operator can continue to use its hidden modifications. As a result, for the recommended receivers this will simply end with a standard software update from the satellite, after which they will continue to open HD TV channels, as if nothing had happened before. For CAM modules, you will need to edit the memory dump and then flash it manually. This operation will help facilitate a special interface that will allow you to reflash modules without disassembling them and removing the flash memory chip; searches are now being made in this direction. Moreover, we should not forget that even a magician sometimes runs out of hidden “cards” in his sleeve. So Tricolor TV, after opening all its available “cards”, will simply be left with nothing.

ATTENTION! If your receiver does not find channels, then the setup instructions

Current (latest) software version dated July 6, 2016

ATTENTION!
Do not turn off the TV's power until the update procedure is complete! Otherwise, it may fail!

Return previous version Software will be impossible!

Software update via satellite

To update software via satellite, the TV must be connected to a configured satellite dish.

PROCEDURE:

To start the update, enable the Telemaster service.
Attention! If the service does not appear in the general list of channels, you need to search for channels again. After a few seconds, a message will appear indicating that the module software needs to be updated ( appearance The messages given in the instructions may differ from the messages displayed by your receiving device):

When this message appears, confirm that the update will begin.

If you refuse the update, you will be prompted to perform it again after rebooting the receiving equipment. You can install new software at any time convenient for you.

After confirming the start of the update, messages will be displayed on the screen informing you about the update process:

After the update is completed, the module will automatically restart. If this does not happen, you can reboot the module manually by turning off the receiving equipment from the power supply and turning it on again. You can also remove the module from the CI+ slot and install it again.

In modern society, it is difficult to meet a family that does not use satellite television. Connecting a satellite dish is one of the best solutions for watching TV channels, taking into account the favorable tariffs of operators. The highest quality and therefore the most popular provider is Tricolor TV. It is important to understand that satellite television is a program that needs to be rebooted and updated (firmware). Today we will look at how you can update the Tricolor module software yourself.

Tricolor TV regularly releases updates for its software. You need to monitor them on the company’s official website so that your CI module does not fail. This procedure does not take much time and completely free for registered users.

CI is a built-in module; the software is necessary for safe and high-quality broadcasting of closed channels.

Another reason why it is necessary to monitor the release of new module software is that users who have missed one or more versions of the update will not be able to carry out the procedure themselves.

Software update instructions

Any company values its customers and takes care of their comfort by expanding or improving its services. Likewise, Tricolor TV is constantly working to improve its service. For high-quality and uninterrupted operation of your receiver, you must regularly monitor the release of new software. So, even 2016 GS receivers need to be updated to the latest firmware version 2017. Of course, no one wants to take their device to a service center.

Do not forget that if you miss one update, you will have to take the receiver to a service center, since it will be impossible to carry out the procedure yourself.

Software update message

So how can you update the Tricolor module software yourself? This is quite simple to do, the main thing is to follow the instructions:

If your receiver is working, then reboot the device, if it is turned off, turn it on.
The next step is to turn on the Tricolor TV channel on your TV.
The company does everything for the convenience of its customers, so the software update window will pop up on its own after a while.
In the selection menu you need to click the “yes” icon. In order not to go to the provider’s website, you can use this method to learn about new updates in a timely manner.
You will start the update process, the progress of which you can see on your screen. The average waiting time is 5 minutes.
After it is installed latest version, the receiver will reboot itself.
After turning on the TV, it is worth checking. To do this, return to the Tricolor channel and check your version with the specified update on the official website.

If all the steps are completed correctly and everything matches, then in the near future you can forget about broadcast failures. Your TV will show like a clock.

If, when you turn on the firmware, your receiver does not respond to the remote control signal, do not be alarmed. Simply turn it on using the “standby” button on the device itself.

Remember that you will have to perform the update process regularly. If for some reason you forgot or were unable to update the firmware, contact the service center.

Conclusion

Satellite television, like any technological progress, requires special care. If you want uninterrupted and high-quality broadcasting, then do not forget to update the software of your device. After all, old firmware can cause various malfunctions in the operation of the equipment: error 5 or error 10 may appear. It’s better to spend 5 minutes now than several hours later when you have to take your receiver to the Tricolor service center.
