Gs 8306 latest firmware. Tricolor TV receiver firmware for free viewing

Each company always strives to improve the quality of the equipment and content provided through technical updates. This is no exception for receivers (set-top boxes), so they can also be updated for better performance.

How to update

The current firmware version for the Tricolor GS 8306 receiver is 1.9.160, which was released in the last quarter of last year and continues to be valid in 2017. With each new update, the operation of the GS 8306 Tricolor moves to a new, higher level.

For firmware you need:

• Do not turn off the console during the update under any circumstances software;
• the update takes about twenty minutes in two stages, during which it will automatically update itself;
• follow step by step instructions, to avoid technical errors, which can lead to damage to the receiver and forced flashing.

Step-by-step update procedure (all steps must be followed carefully):

1. Search for channels in manual mode, through the item in the Tricolor TV menu.
2. After this, be sure to turn off the receiver cable from the power supply and turn it back on after a few minutes.
3. Turn on the information channel on the TV under No. 333.
4. On the screen you should see information alert what is available a new version and a proposal to update.
5. Using the remote control remote control select the “Yes” option, after which a new window will open with the firmware process and service messages about it.
6. At the end of the first stage, the receiver will reboot itself, after which the second part of the update will begin.
7. After the second part, you will see a window signaling that the update has been completed and the need to set the data (operating language, time), and also search for channels again.
8. As a result, you can personally go to the setup wizard to make sure that the equipment has been updated and is ready for full operation again.

Equipment upgrades brought new opportunities in the field satellite television. Firstly, there is a new and modern graphical interface for the Stingray software. Secondly, the stability of the receiver has improved significantly. TO automatic search channels also joined manual option. A pleasant moment touched upon and special application"Tricolor TV Cinemas", which has also been updated and improved.

For those interested, the option is also available to update the Tricolor TV set-top box GS 8306 using USB flash drive. To do this, you need to move the files necessary for the process, connect it to the receiver and perform the update. In addition, its completion will be indicated by two LEDs that will go out for a while.

Possible problems after the firmware

At first, after the update, there was a stage when many people complained about technical errors in their receivers, which they noticed precisely after updating the firmware to the newest version. The company itself did not recommend updating until they themselves corrected the released update.

However, there were those who managed to do this, and they were divided into two parts:

• those for whom everything worked properly;
• and those who, due to the transition to a new version of the software update, received a large number of problems with your equipment.

There were several solutions for this. For example, contact service center behind qualified help to change the firmware version. This was considered the most the best option, because the client does not need to change anything himself, and the company does not need to replace old equipment with new equipment due to its own mistake. The second version was not so good, because customers had to wait for the update version to be corrected and reflash the receiver themselves according to the scheme. And most difficult option there was one in which people themselves could roll back the update version at home. However, it was practically not recommended, because for this the user must have special equipment (a blowtorch and a programmer) and a material and technical knowledge base of how to flash, so as not to make critical mistakes during the procedure.

The numbering of microcircuit pins is always carried out counterclockwise starting from the key, this applies to both domestic and imported

• Solder a 0.1 μF ceramic capacitor to the power supply contacts of the microcircuit (legs 2 and 10). It is also advisable to duplicate the electrolytes of each voltage converter and the input power with ceramics. PS: On the underwater forum of the same name (submarine), the idea with a capacitor was criticized...
• Solder the wire from the minus of the microcircuit (10 leg) to the body. The screws securing the board to the case do not provide grounding for the board. Grounding to the body is provided by the nuts of the tuner connectors. Effect from this method no - verified!!!

Below are examples of resistance between the conductors in question.

The resistance between the 2nd leg “plus” of the microcircuit and the 10th leg “minus” of the microcircuit is 362 Ohm

Resistance between "plus"(2 leg chips)and tuner body

The resistance between the negative (10th leg of the microcircuit) and the tuner body is 9 Ohms

The resistance between the ground of the HDMI connector and the Tuner body is 9 Ohms (identical between the 10th leg “minus” of the microcircuit and the tuner body)

2. Problem with sound loss

• Replacing the HDMI cable with a better one
• Purchase anti-interference ferrite rings for the HDMI cable cm. . You can find it in radio stores or buy another HDMI cable with rings. In theory, the dependence on interference from other equipment connected to the power supply along with the receiver should disappear.
• Grounding the receiver housing and the corresponding board. Solder the wire from tuner connector nuts to the HDMI connector housing)

3. Preventing processor overheating on new firmware and, as a result, unstable operation of the receiver

• Installing a heatsink on the processor and flash memory chip
• chip datasheet here - .

4. To ensure that channels do not disappear after turning off the receiver:

1) you need to enter the receiver setup menu.
2) reset the receiver settings to factory settings.
3) after rebooting the receiver, the receiver setup menu will appear.
4) select the operator " Tricolor TV".
We go to the point " change antenna settings"Next select antenna No. 1 and point change, after that you get to the point antenna tuning, then change the frequency 10750 to 10751 in both windows (by numbers on the remote control) and press the save button, then press search for channels and scan them.
For search federal channels with time shift +2 you must select a search region" Moscow +2" instead of " Moscow 0".

PS When selecting regions "Basic" or "Ural" channel search will not be carried out.

It is natural that the Tricolor TV company is trying in every possible way to improve its services, which is why updates appear frequently. If you miss the release of new products and do not update your devices, then various difficulties associated with displaying channels and more are possible. You can avoid them with the help of technical updates of such popular models receivers like GS 8306 or GS 8307.

How to update the receiver firmware

Updating the GS 8307 or GS 8306 receiver software is a replacement old firmware on updated version, which meets the requirements of 2017. Updates from the past, 2016, are still relevant, but not for long. Please check the firmware version installed on your device; it may already be outdated at this point.

For example, let's take the popular Tricolor TV GS receivers, namely GS 8307. The software version that must be installed on this device is 1.9.160. She went out to recent months 2016, therefore continues to operate in this quarter. But there is every reason to expect that another new product will soon be released, which will have to be urgently installed in order to keep the receiver working.

It is not recommended to ignore updates, although no one forces you to use them. It’s just that as soon as the program is updated, the receiver, in theory, should work better. But for an inexperienced user it will be useful to know that when updating software, the following important rules should be followed:

• At the moment when new software is being installed, you cannot turn off the set-top box, otherwise interrupting this process will cause serious damage;
• The GS 8307 software should be updated in two stages. But human participation is exclusively accompanying, since the entire procedure takes place in automatic mode, and the most a person can do is press the remote control keys several times;
• The time you need to spend updating the receiver is at least twenty minutes. But a lot depends on the model of the device and how correctly the procedure is carried out;
• To avoid technical errors and to ensure that the receiver continues to work perfectly, you must strictly follow the instructions, which will definitely be visible on the TV screen.

Step-by-step procedure for updating Tricolor TV 8306

IN last years Tricolor television is considered one of the most popular among analogues. But a significant disadvantage of this operator is the fact that it is necessary to frequently update the system. Of course, this point can only be called a minus with a big stretch, but, in truth, the need to constantly monitor updates so as not to lose your favorite channel suits few people.

Instructions for updating the receiver firmware look like this:

• You need to search for channels through manual control. To do this, find the corresponding item in the menu and click it;
• When the previous step is completed, you need to unplug the power cable from the network so that the receiver turns off, and, after waiting a few seconds (up to a minute), turn it back on;
• On the receiver, turn on the information channel under number “333”;
• If the menu works as it should, a notification will appear on the screen saying that a new firmware version has appeared on the company’s website, and the user can update his device;
• If you are interested in the offer, you can accept the update by pressing confirmation on the remote control;
• The next step is to monitor the update process in the automatic window and perform simple manipulations that will help speed up the completion of the procedure;
• At the end of the first stage, the receiver will automatically reboot, so there is no need to be alarmed - this is only a transitional stage for the next part of the updates;
• When the second stage of the update is completed, a message will appear. Next, you need to set the parameters, language, date and time;
• If everything is correct, you need to search for TV channels again, after which the 8306 Tricolor receiver will be almost ready for use.

When all the necessary manipulations have been completed, the user needs to go to the “Setup Wizard” section to make sure that the software version has changed to a more modern one. The new firmware has a lot of nice bonuses, in particular, it is distinguished by a new graphical interface Stingray software, which, judging by the comments, was liked by many.

Problems after flashing

Unfortunately, even the best and modern firmware is not a panacea for problems that may affect the receiver where it is installed. The software is still “raw” because it appeared not so long ago and the developers did not have time to remove errors. So it turns out that for some users everything works fine, while for others it’s the other way around.

In the latter case, the problem can be solved. For example, by restarting the update again or using a flash drive rather than installing programs over the network. But if there are errors of a technical nature and they appeared after the firmware, then it is better to return to the old parameters until the Tricolor company corrects the errors that caused the trouble.

If you go to old version The firmware does not work due to technical issues, then you need to go to a service center, otherwise the equipment may be damaged. In principle, even after updating the receiver with low-quality firmware, you can correct the situation by waiting until a higher-quality sample comes out and flashing the device again. The errors are not too serious, so the wait will be minimally inconvenient.

With the advent of the Internet modern man does not experience information “hunger”. It's easy enough to find the information you so desperately need. However, when reading any instructions, it is important to understand that any deviation from the prescribed requirements is fraught with serious consequences.

By purchasing new receiver GS 8306, owners often want to know how to reflash the Tricolor GS 8306 receiver. This desire is really justified, since the firmware allows you to ensure stability in the future operation of the receiver in HDMI mode.

Any user can reflash the GS-8306, the main thing is to strictly follow the instructions and do everything correctly

We can even confidently say that the GS 8306 firmware allows you to successfully cure the receiver from glitches.

Firmware process

Experienced users and experts emphasize to all interested parties that without certain skills related to software updating, you can unknowingly make fatal mistakes.

Why is new firmware needed?

When carrying out any actions, it is very important to understand how important they are, and whether it is possible to do without them in any way. The flurry of people wanting to know how to flash GS 8306 from a flash drive is explained by the fact that new firmware gives the receiver several advantages.

First of all, the device gets a modernized selection menu the required operator. Also, the “Status” menu after the firmware is accompanied by an updated interface, which makes it easier to work with the menu.

Also welcomed by many is the fact that after the firmware the receiver is characterized by significantly improved performance. Such important manipulations make it possible to display an information block that contains important information regarding payment methods for Tricolor TV services.

The acquired characteristic is especially welcome, allowing you to remember in standby mode the settings that were defined on the receiver before it was disconnected from the power supply.

Firmware installation instructions

If you carefully examine the design of the receiver, you can make sure that the device does not have an RS-232 (COM) port. However, in return his receiver has service USB. It is thanks to its presence that the device undergoes flashing.

For such manipulations, the owner of the receiver should prepare an ordinary flash drive. Naturally, you should take care in advance of downloading the firmware file itself, which can be downloaded on the Internet on specialized forums focused on issues of Tricolor receivers.

After downloading the proposed file, unzip it into the folder you created previously. Then find the firmware itself in it: ssu_gsc_stb.upg.

Initially, format the flash drive that you prepared in advance. Before formatting, the system will ask you which file system you want to install on it, check FAT32. Copy the firmware startup file and paste it onto the USB flash drive.

Now all that remains is to connect the flash drive to the receiver by inserting it into the USB connector. The receiver must be turned on during this procedure.

With the flash drive inserted, first turn off the receiver and then immediately turn it on. This is not difficult to do if you press the “Stand by” button, which is located on the front panel of the receiver.

After restart receiver, the firmware process starts and is carried out automatically. The user can verify that the firmware is actually being installed by the information that appears on the TV screen.

At this moment, you should sit near the screen and do any other things, but not interfere in any way with the ongoing process. When he reaches the finish line, information will appear on the screen indicating the successful completion of the process.
