Welcome to legitfta! As far as explaining the use of the channel editor for the X2 premium we can help you. Unfurtunally we cant help you with everything else related what you mentioned. We dont discuss or allow the talk of working/ playing with non Free to air stuff here. Go to the X2 discussions/ files section and read, there is a lot of info there as to how to use the Ezm tool. There were several versions of the Ezm and you need to match the database you have with the proper revision. Welcome!

thanks for suggest !! i don't need any thing more than to learn this EZM tools...
can you please give me link...quite confuse me..that there is several version ??? i just flashed my box with APRil 8 2015 firmware..so what version of EMZ tools i suppose to use ??

thanks again..

I'm sorry to tell that Database from the latest file April 2015 cant be open using the EZM 2.0.3. I even tried all EZM versions and none will open the database. Until we solve the problem with X2 I will suggest you roll back your firmware for Dec 2014 and do your backup using this firmware. The EZM will then open your database fine. April firmware only fixed the You Tube play access which is no longer available to most of the FTA boxes so no harm. Do the roll back and let us know, Good luck

you may try to play with the sharebank file instead,which was a work- around in the old days.

[niljaviya]

ok..thanks ...let me try to rollback old firmware and update info. soon...here...

i am going to rollback with this..link found here..

again thanks...
just asking !! do you guys create any moded firmware or tool to flash this box for easy set up ! or just original company website only !!

thanks

[dr.zin]

original company website only.
you can use ezm to load firmware or terminal programs like xdown but via rs232 it takes forever.

[niljaviya]

thanks.
i am using USB , it is very fast ..i already flash with december -version..and scan all channel because in NA we have only 4 birds...( 118.7 W ku /119 W / 110w /129W )
all other are useless for NA...
1) my purpose is just to rename the channel names which is scanned as RP**** to original channel name...
2 ) create favourite folder with name like (kids/movies/family etc.)
i don't need EPG ..as well this box dosen't support EPG in NA

if this two purpose served i am fine...i don't need anything any more ....

thanks in advance..help appriciate...

Im really sorry to let you and everybody else known that X2 will NO longer support the old model Premium II. So I will recommend you stay in December firmware. Here is a c/p from Mrs Ma Wang

Dear Mr.,

Thanks for your message, For Premium II we are unable to revise this software due to C.P.U software diagram become quite old so we can't support it

For Premium III and Premium IV , Premium Mini : The Software support is continues and we working hard to improve it day by day



Any more question please feel free to let us know

Have a nice day

My friend you didnt follow instructions as instructed. Use the file I gave you on my post. I loaded the one in here in my X2 premium. Did a database backup and open the file fine.

Menu
Setup
Upgrade & Backup
Backup to USB
Right Arrow and change to USER DATABASE
Scroll down then Right to <Add New File> and hit OK
Write a name for you file (anyone)
Save

It will download your database to you USB with the name given.

i also give a try to X2 premium III editor Ali editor...but it dosen't support .SSU extention...

i don't know what type of box i have ??

Tommorow I will redo everything and if posible will take a photos or video

[dr.zin]

I did it all with the remote;delete sats, add sats,set motor,blindscan.
then worry about renaming with ezm

Thanks for help...eventhough ..if you can't take pic or video...just mention steps...that would be great help...

confusion in my mind..let me explain..and want to make my understanding clear...

- this box has has two kind of back up

1) database - backup/restore - when you choose any option(backup/restore)...this one is done internal saved by box..(i guess this will take back up of satellite + channels + IKS settings etc ) you can't see the file name or extention because it's done internal ...
2) backup / restore with USB/OTS etc. - when we choose this option ( back up to USB ) - this will back up everything in box ( means flashed image +channel list + satellite + iks setting ..fairly entire box) with given file name.ssu (saved to USB)

- is my understanding correct ?? because i am trying to OPEN usb backup .ssu file ..which possibally can't open by EZM tools ( i am guessing..not sure ..clearing my doubts)
- or as mentioned in -1) - is there anyway (which i don't know) to get that internal database backup to USB and possible open by EZM tools... in that case how to backup that database file to USB ??

please help me to understand this idea !! help appriciated ..thanks in advance...

[dr.zin]

you save the database or sharebank with ezm itself after connecting to the receiver via menu.
Then you open the file you just saved.
Probably why you are having problems.

If you know how to do this way it could be the easy way to do. Just plug a Null Cable between your computer and the X2 and download the database/sharebank directly from the box using the EZM. Do all your changes and load back to the box.

Answer to #1. Internal database only save the channels/ sats info. NO firmware or applications is saved.
Answer to #2. Will depend which option you choose once you get to the USB options (Application- Complete backup Database /Sats info including firmware or software.) (Database- Only channels/sats info w/out the software).

Try loading the December firmware , set your date and sats and do a scan to any of your sats. Then, make a backup to your USB and try to open the file with the EZM. Maybe bringing back your internal saved database is the problem why it cant be open with EZM

[niljaviya]

thanks .... i will do and update here...
Thanks for help....i did yesterday...
-i already flshed with December firmware...
- than i did fully factroy reset ..so there is no any old database !! and box has default satellite list (which has also NA satellite what i need)

One Question here !! how to get database back up on USB ??

when i choose backup to USB... it just start with msg. " don't switch off the box while back up "
it never ask ( i don't know how ) what back up ? Application or database ?
if i can backup only database to USB ..may be problem fixed ...because i am always able to back up everything backup.ssu ! that's posible problem.... i am thinking...
please write steps...to get database backup to USB !!

thanks in advance..help appriciated
