What happens if you turn unit off then unplug sat cable and leave it unplugged and boot up the box?

I believe you need a straight through cable.

unplugged everything still the same,so that would be the coolsat cable??

Do not know but it will probably say somewhere in the coolsat section. Look for a boot loop thread.

use the nfusion cable (Null). Very few receivers use the Coolsat cable (straight thru). Load the factory file and start again

Most if not all of the newer boxes use a straight thru cable.

I just upgraded my Linkboxhd Plus to the v211 file using a Null Modem Cable. Anubis I respectfully suggest you have your info backwards.
