Openbox S10, Openbox S9, Openbox S11, SkyBox S11 Clone Safe Firmware software

I have been testing various firmwares on this S10 box , and have made some notes on the performance of the box for each firmware.


in terms of Clone Bombs / Clone kills - it seems that any firmware after 31st July 2011 will make the box show a Chip ID of 'FFFF', and when rebooted, the clone bomb will kill the box, and is only recoverable by burning a compatible firmware via a Null Modem cable. And any firmware (That I have tested so far) up to and before 31/07/2011 will show a genuine ChipID and will not kill the box.


I was very impressed with this firmware, and it does fix a lot of issues with the previous firmwares, it is a shame that it has a clone kill - and it is also intriguing that it initially showed a genuine chipid, and then reverted back to FFFF, I might have to try reflashing again and see whether I can get the genuine chipid to stick, as this would be my new recommended firmware otherwise.
