Press and hold service button (FN) on back side of STB until STB is power off, or during 2 seconds after power on. Switching between modes done by releasing button at specific time according to LED indication.

There are 4 modes:
STB load from first U-boot;
Switch to alternanive NAND;
Reset to default settings;
“Emergency” - STB Boot from USB/DHCP;


Mode 1. Press and hold service button, power on STB. Waint until LED indicator change it's mode (LED is white, slow blinking). If button button will be released STB will load in mode 1. Not releasing of button - STB will go to mode 2.
Mode 2. (White LED, fast blink). If button button will be released STB will load in mode 2. Continue to hold will result in - go to mode 3.
Mode 3. (Red LED, fast blink). If button button will be released STB will load in mode 3. Continue to hold will result in - go to mode 4.
Mode 4. (Red LED, without blinking). If button button will be released STB will load in mode 4. Continue to hold will result in - Standart load.

Thank you all for your replies.

The MAG 256 is actually at my brothers house and I am setting off on holiday in 30 minutes so I won't be able to try out any of your suggestions until I get back from holiday in 7 days.

(I have tried some of them before I asked on here)
I will try again when I get back and let you know how I get on.

Thank you once more.

Regards, The Soulman.

Hi Ziberi, what do you mean with Force Reset? I cannot reset with new firmware on USB because it says wrong image (a company must have loaded a modified firmware).

Would a Force Reset remove this modified firmware and get it back to original firmware?

Hello,
try to hard reset from BIOS settings. Follow the @Rusax instruction.

Hi. Any news on this please? I have no EPG on mag254.

 

[Keysersoze1977]

Ok, I see a few channels have it but the majority not. Shame. Thanks for the reply Erto.

What recommend the people here I have a Philips TV and it does not work well with the SS-Iptv app. I want a good and stable box and have read that many people use MAG... Some recommend 254 and others 256. I need to order something already tonight because my Philips does not work in principle at all.

Any news about the EPG voor the MAG boxes?
Lot off Dutch chanels don't have EPG...

 

[Sandrito]

Do not buy MAG 250 - too old. I recommend the MAG 254. The MAG 256 is a bit stronger and has HEVC-256 (h256) with the newest (stream) compression. But till I know, no IPTV provider is doing it - maybe in the far future.

MAG 256 W2 or TVIP v.412?
On forum "MAG Box > what mag box do should i buy?!?!?!" the guy harrypotter is fan of the TVIP v.412. Ask him the difference.

 

[nokia9800]

Can i use MAG 255?

 

[Sandrito]

A MAG2xx with STALKER Portal is used for the easy using for (elderly) people, who do not want to "learn" to manage the (Android-) Box. I use the TVIP 410 (no WiFi) odr TVIP 412 (with WiFi) which use also STALKER Portal, but is faster and starts up 3x faster.

Infomir.eu writes:
MAG255 is a closed platform that does not allow image modification. It has an integrated Verimatrix content security solution. It is intended for operators that already use Verimatrix.

If your operator did not modify the MAG255 it should work like MAG254, which is the same model but without Verimatrix.

I whant a box with recoring option do the TVIP 410 (no WiFi) odr TVIP 412 (with WiFi) have this?
