How to Fix your blocked MAG424, MAG424w3

[@onthedownlow100]

Thanks so much for the video, sadly it didn't work for me. However I will continue to wait for the no block firmware. Was worth a shot.

[@Stoddy2k]

These models only work with Ministra Servers please check with your provider first. The older mag boxes work with your standard Iptv providers but as this new mag box only works with the Ministra servers. You’ll get the message upon start up saying “Your STB is blocked. Changing from NAND 2 to NAND 1 will not work. Tried and Tested.

[@JasonTech]

There's no fix yet for these boxes.

@@JasonTech what fix are we waiting for ? can you explain more, i just got this box not knowing that it doesnt work with IPTV providers.

[@JasonTech]

@@anasaoude8814 Hi, Right now that box doesn’t work with all IPTV servers. So before you buy any subscription, tell the provider what Mag box model you have.

[@Nilla_S]

Hi Jason, Appriciate your videos. I got my MAG424 and tried to change the nand. Didn`t work. Stil STB blocked. In your experience, how long does it usual take to fix STB block? months? quarters? years?

[@JasonTech]

Hi. Sorry there's still no fix for that box.

[@thebeavemon]

I just ordered this box. What do you mean by blocked? Did an IPTV block you or something? Are you able to use your box with another IPTV provider?

[@juanjmerced4578]

Hello JASONTech. I purchased a Mag424 w3 manufactured on August 28th 2020. I entered the information from my IPTV provider and the following message appears "Your STB is not supported". Please let me know if there is any solution or have to use the box as a paperweight.

[@JasonTech]

Hi Juan, For that box it only does that on certain IPTV server. See if your iptv provider will change it to a different URL for you. But make sure you tell him what box you have.

[@arno124d8]

AS FOR THE HDMI-CEC ON THE TV I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU WANT ME TO CHECK,IS IT THE SETTING IN THE TV OR SOME CABLE CONNECTION BEHIND THE TV? PLEASE CLARIFY,THANK YOU JASON

[@JasonTech]

It's a setting on the TV. By default it's on auto, just turn it off.

Hi Jason, any fix for 522w3? I have tried your recommendation but still getting "Your STB is not Supported". Changed from the original NAND 1 to NAND 2 but no luck.

[@JasonTech]

Hi Joe. There's no fix, the problem is with the IPTV servers not the the Mag 522. Your box doesn't work with all IPTV servers. Try contacting your provider and tell him what box you have, he should be able to switch your URL server.

[@kristalevans3575]

Hi Jason. I just got a mag 424 3w. I can watch TV and everything is good but when I go to my guide it only stays for 1 sec and goes away. It happens when I use the home button for my guide or the EPG button as well. Any advice?

[@tonneyp111]

Did you ever figure out how to fix this problem? Any advice would be helpful.

[@onthedownlow100]

Also feel it is worth mentioning that both of my mag 424W3 were brand new and yet when I went to change the nand1 and 2 option, one of the boxes was on nand2 and the other box was on nand1. Odd, I would have suspected them to be the same one way or the other.

[@JasonTech]

Ya that's odd. Every box I had and tested it was on Nand2. If you have any android box, download the iptv smarters app. Then ask your provider to change your service from a MAC Address to a user name and password. So you don't lose out.

Hi Hameed, you should contact your IPTV provider. That's a server issue.

[@geornirv]

There is no need for a new firmware. Just do a factory reset by pushing a pin in the hole on the left of the box immediately after you plug it in. A white light starts flashing and when it turns to red and starts flashing quicker you take out the pin and after 1-2sec immediately you reinsert it in the hole. Then leave it until it is permanent red light and then you wait until your TV gets a blue screen. And then the format happens. After that it starts in the inner portal. ( I am not responsible if sth happens...i did it and it worked). I was on an IPTV provider and wanted to go to another.
