January 16th, 2019, the District Court in Bremen, Germany granted preliminary injunctions against two distributors selling certain set-top boxes in Germany.
The contested devices (set-top boxes), among other things, emulated the MAC addresses of Infomir’s MAG set-top boxes. The Court prohibited the distributors from selling these and other devices that emulated Infomir’s MAG set-top boxes.
And then at a technology exhibition in March.....
CABSAT 2019: Shenzhen GYS Technology Co., Ltd. booth shutdown.
Published on 15/03/2019
The administration of CABSAT exhibition, which was held in Dubai, UAE from 12 to 14 of March, terminated contract, shut down the booth and restricted access to the event for Shenzhen GYS Technology Co., Ltd., a Chinese manufacturer of IPTV devices.
The reason for this was a violation of the event’s policies and encroachment on the products of the Infomir group of Companies.
Shenzhen GYS Technology products emulated Infomir’s MAG set-top boxes, which allowed them to utilize Infomir’s Middleware, the software for managing IPTV/OTT projects.

well I got image no block loaded but still no love.
I unplugged dongle in back
put fat 32 usb in back usb port
plugged in box while pushing button above volume with 3 dots
chose upgrade tools
usb bootstrap press ok
image loaded
shows no block image
on start up I have a different look instead of black I have informir logo with hdmi etc
after few minutes sometimes I get that portal loading but most of the time no. I have 2 different iptv providers that I am a r****ler of so I kno mac is loaded in both
properly but I still get black screen. I think this may be an expensive door stop but I ran out of doors because my dreamboxes, SV, Ariza, 3100 Buzz all are on my doors have stops in and out
I am not a quiter. I have all day and after this weekend the rest of my free time to beat informir at their game.
ON AN EDITORIAL NOTE; I find it funny that informir took this way for avoiding copyright illegalities when this is why they but the boxes and developed the software to do this and having a call home first written into the coding was why we are in this mess so instead of rewriting the files and "leaking" a fix, they chose to brick and disable all the devices that had complained server and were complained about. This almost a boycot time for them. I bought a dreamlink T2 but my 4gig android box may not ever get bricked from the company that made it. Most likely scenario is cheap stuff will break fast than good stuff. Next on my shopping list is a firestick
NO MORE INFORMIR
NO MORE INFORMIR making a sign right now haha happy face every one

As posted in the MAG322 forum...is anyone here able to compile newer versions of the Custom No-Block firmware? Not sure about the other models, but the MAG322 has had a new official firmware release July 1st and it'd be really cool to have that made into CFW.
Have been 'testing' this today.
Even thou the mag is not blocked, I did not like the idea that informir could at any time, so I loaded this NOBLOCK custom image file... and the 'phone home' thing is never a good thing to have anyway
Loading is easy enough.
From the anonfile.com/w39c38qdba/NoBlock_zip file, grab the file folder which coincides with your mag box (mag254 or mag322 or etc). Transfer it to your FAT32 (or xFat) USB stick. It should be in a folder labeled as mag254 or whatever your box designation is. Inside that folder is a bootstrap file and an image file.
Leave them both in that folder and with that folder on your USB storage drive insert into the Mag, pull the power cord,disconnect.
Then while pressing and holding the menu button on your remote control, reattach power and let it boot into the setup menu.
-Select Upgrade Tools
-Select Upgrade from USB (bootstrap)
-Yes
It will take just a few minutes to fully load. This does not erase your server setups.
Onscreen prompts will tell you progress.
Once it is loaded you can check in the Settings menu and in Device info.
It will show NOBLOCK_254 as part of the image description.
Working like a champ !

Models include:
mag250
mag254
mag256
mag322
mag324
* some mag models will not have the Bootstrap included as a separate 'file' in that folder.
That is okay, just ensure you transfer the correct folder onto USB device.
Hi Crazed,
Could you please provide any assistance with this? http://iptvtalk.net/showthread.php?41071-Mag-322-2-20-09-No-Block-CFW&p=258082&viewfull=1#post258082
Also, based on your experience. Should I change to another box cheaper and as reliable as the mag322? Which one?
Thanks in advance
I don't know what to say about them Mag boxes any more.
I have heard recently that the new firmware is no longer blocking portals, but is just what I heard and may not be true at all.
Their Minstral middleware is now being used extensively and the newest firmware released may be addressing that, but again, I do not now for certain.
Listed below in no particular order re the boxes I'd recommend for IPTV service.
Some are more pricey then others but they all are decent boxes for IPTV service.
Dreamlink T2
Dreamlink Prime
Dreamlink T3
EZ Media Player
Buzztv xpl3000 Basic
Buzztv xpl3000
Buzztv xr & xrs
Formuler Z7+ 5G
Formuler Z8

I just know that before I ran the Noblock patch, I updated the firmware with the latest version from infomir. I did not enter the portal url...just in case. As soon as that update is done a privacy and policy agreement popsup telling you that a looootttt of information from the user is going to be collected. Including portals, trafic, apps...and I did not see that with my MAG254. Lets just wait a see.
I will definitely check on some of the boxes you recommend.
Still have stn blocked even after no block file. Internet provider is Liberty Puerto Rico.
Any updates on PR getting thos to work?

I tried to load this file for the mag254 and I keep getting an error message. "file mag254/image update not present"
I've already used like 4 different usb drive and I formatted them all to fat32 and even tried exfat. I made sure to copy the entire folder with the "mag254" name and I also safely ejected the devices all the time andddd I tried both usb slots on the device and I'm still getting the error.
I don't know what else to try.
Edit: Was able to finally get this to work after trying 3 more USB drives lol.

try downloading the file from the mediafire link shown below, and see if that makes a difference
Code:
http://www.mediafire.com/file/hqa0b0461iskblf/NoBlock.zip/fileHello guys,
With rootFS version: 2.20.10r2-322 I can no longer downgrade to the NoBlock firmware. It says "Unsupported Architecture".
Is it possible to create a new noblock with the latest firmware? Or can I compile it myself what files are changed?

did you use the correct 'No_Block' file for the 322 ?
I think shown in post #33 or #34, it shows how the guy compiled these No_Block files.
Yes I used the No Block for the Mag 322 and it is not working, tried flashing over the "bios" as well.
I saw comment #33 but that solution isn't working as well, I connected to the mag box over SSH and added the IP/URL to the hosts file, the file he mentions to delete doesn't exist on my mag, I rebooted but it is still blocking the service URL / Portal
try the method outlined in the post linked shown below
http://iptvtalk.net/showthread.php?26924-How-to-use-the-supported-Playlist-on-Mag-STB
It discusses the Rocket server but nfps and iptv6 servers will be the same , except for their own websites.
And the link next link is a more in-depth look at how to get a Playlist copy or Playlist URL from service website.

correct. It is nothing to do with firmware.
It's simply another method to connect to server thru the mag box options.
I doubt that will work thou, if other does not.
Is it worth a try ?
Sure
if anything, it may give insight to other things

Thanks for your help, but it seems the newer Firmwares are blocking the downgrades, I didn't wanted to risk getting another mag box and I generally been having a lot of hardware problems with Mag, so I ordered an Amazon Fire Stick TV and going with STBEMU Pro for it.
