EMERGENCY FIRMWARE

Emergency firmware is used for de-bricking unresponsive devices and fixing
various issues.
1. Download the firmware file from the Xtreamer main site.
2. Unzip the file and copy (install.img) it to the root of a FAT32 formatted USB
stick (we recommend a stick no bigger than 2GB).
3. Disconnect all the cables, dongles, antennas, internal and external storage
devices from your SideWinder 3.
Disconnect it from power for 10-15 minutes.
4. Plug the device into power and insert the USB stick into one of the ports on
the side panel.
5. Make sure the device is OFF and press the Power button on SideWinder 3
for about 10-12 sec.
The device LED will initially turn ON and after few sec it will turn OFF.
Once the blue LED is OFF release your finger from the Power button and then
the upgrade process screen will appear on your TV.
