Programing Matrix Reloaded ( MR ) for dummies by ahac
For all the dummies like me that also have probs programming the MR Matrix Reloaded the first time:
From many posts here I understand the best it goes with fun5 cards, e.g. Galaxy3 cards.
You'll need 3 of them, or with one it works also, you only have to reprogram it.
Get yourself the zip file of the FW (today it is the version 1.03)
When you open the zip you'll find several files, unzip them all to a Map (make a new one, you can find easily later on) In my case I'll call it MR103.
In the M103 file map you now see 2 files one "fun 5"and one "fun6"
Put you're funcard in the programmer, like Mastera, Infinity, Mastercard etc. and erase it.
Open the program you normaly use to write files on a funcard.
Some people say ChipCat will not work.
Erase the funcard.
Load the flash file (from the map MR103 > fun5) in that section.
Load the file mr103_512_11.hex in the external eeprom section en write the card.
Go to the setup of your receiver and open the section where the Common Interfase module is.
1- Open the MR section and go to Download section.
(Can't describe the real name, çause that's depending from your receiver)
2- The messages "Erasing old data, please wait..." and "Insert card 1 or serial dummy card" will be shown.
3- Insert the first smart card and press Ok.
4- The message "Card inserted, opening" is shown, and after that "Performing smart card download..." and wait until
5- the message "Download card completed" appears take the card out and press "Please, extract it"
6- After that, a message "Insert card 2" will be shown.
Follow the options as above until the last card has finished downloading using the eeprom file mr103_512_21.hex for card number 2 and mr103_512_31.hex for card number 3.
7.- After the last smart card is downloaded, the message "Download complete. Copying image and re-booting" will be shown. Just wait a few moments.
If the new version of software is not shown after about 1 minute, re-insert the module without any smartcard.
When this also doesn't work, completely shut off the receiver once.
Notice: If you're zapping the first time, do not insert any card.
If some decoded channels could be watched, it works fine.
Have fun!
If one of the Funcards isn't directly detected, please try inserting this card some time, or rewrite it!
Don't panic!
REPLACE THE MR1.03 BY MR 1.04
Thank you goes to AHAC for writing this post.
Cheers,
Cor.

I have mentioned it over a dozen times now on the forums so here it is in a sticky
my recent tests on the MR indicate that all operations should be done AFTER puting the cam on an FTA channel , going to standby and back on again and being on the same fta channel
this reboots the cam and its not being accessed because there is nothing to decrypt
then make your changes , save if possible and exit
if you do not do this then any tests are meaningless
this also applies if reprogramming with funcards or a mutznutz
