looks that you are downloading wrong file.
you need the recovery file, and inside it you should find

apploader.bin
bootargs.bin
fastboot.bin
imageversion
usb_update.bin

all the above, in a fat32 formated usb flash disk

i think that i asked which image (exactly) you tried to install, and also i asked how? you never answer...

you need a full or recovery image, and the installation how to is in the link i gave above...

which one pure2 you tried? (i suspect, not the recovery)
and why you tried satdreamgr multiboot, when i am always saying that you need a full image?

i downloaded the file, extracts it then put it into the root of a formatted usb plugged the usb at the back of the box while it is off. then press the front button and switched the box from the back hold until the menu appears and the choose flash recovery image did not work usb multiboot image did not work either

sorry but i was not able to differentiate between a full image and the others

none of the PurE2 images were recovery i did not see any recovery image

now the box is not working and i got this today as new online need help to make it work again.

the multiboot image will not work in that situation...

you need a full image

download from here not the multiboot file...
unzip it an place the files in a fat32 formatted usb stick

switch off your receiver, plug the usb stick, and that power on it while pressing the standby button...

nevermind, it isn't an important file, it has the "usb_update"

and if this file is missing, than it can't load from usb
