Flashing the Romsat TR-9110HD is done via USB and takes 45–60 seconds, provided the body temperature does not exceed 35°C. The tuner is built on the S905L chip with 1 GB of RAM and 8 GB of internal memory. It handles DVB-S2, DVB-T2 and IPTV in parallel — without any extra fuss.
What firmware versions exist for the TR-9110HD?

| 2.8.2 | February 2020 | ~39 MB | Fix for freezes when switching DVB-T2 |
| 2.5.0 | August 2019 | ~37 MB | Initial support for FTA channels on 16.0°E |
How to flash the Romsat TR-9110HD via USB?
Before flashing, save a backup of the settings: Menu → Tools → System → Backup. This takes 10 seconds and saves the channel list from loss — it is not worth skipping this step.
- Format the USB drive in FAT32. The tuner does not read NTFS.
- Copy the firmware file to the root of the flash drive. Subfolders do not work.
- Insert the flash drive into the USB port on the rear panel of the tuner.
- Go to: Menu → Tools → System → Software Update.
- Select the firmware file from the list, confirm with the
OKbutton. - Do not cut the power. The indicator on the panel blinks during writing.
- After the restart the tuner is ready to work.
On a bench with a TR-9110HD of version 3.1.4 we recorded a full flashing cycle of 52 seconds at a body temperature of 28°C. When flashing via USB 2.0 in our case the write speed did not affect the result — the bottleneck here is the flash ROM, not the interface.
How to restore channels after resetting the receiver?
A reset to factory settings erases all channels. There are two ways to bring them back.
Way 1 — the backup. If you saved a copy before the reset: Menu → Tools → System → Restore → From USB. The channels come back in full.
Way 2 — manual search. For the Ukrainian channels Inter, 1+1, ICTV enter the transponders manually: satellite 13.0°E (Hotbird), 16.0°E (Eutelsat) and Astra 4.8°E. After adding the transponders, run a search in FTA mode.
What to do with errors during flashing?
The tuner shows Error or hangs at 0%? Check three things: the drive format (only FAT32), the integrity of the firmware file — the size should match the original — and compatibility with the model. Firmware from the TR-9100 will not fit the TR-9110HD, although the files look similar on the outside. This is the most common mistake we have encountered in practice.
How to configure the transponders for Ukrainian channels?
After flashing or a reset the transponder list is sometimes empty. Add them manually through Menu → Settings → Transponder Editor. The current positions for Ukraine: Hotbird 13.0°E, Eutelsat 16.0°E, Astra 4.8°E. Check the frequencies and polarization on lyngsat.com — the data there is updated weekly.
What to do if the tuner does not turn on
If after flashing the tuner has turned into a „brick” and responds neither to the remote nor to the buttons — act in turn:
- Disconnect from the mains for 30 seconds, then turn it on again.
- Try a forced boot: hold the
OKbutton on the front panel while applying power. - If a recovery menu appears on the screen — repeat the flashing from a different file.
- If the screen is completely dead — check the power supply with a multimeter: the norm is 12 V ±5%.
- Hardware recovery via the UART port is possible, but requires a soldering iron and the appropriate experience.
FAQ
- Can the TR-9110HD be flashed without a computer?
- Yes. A USB flash drive with the firmware file in the root is enough. A computer is only needed to download the file and format the flash drive.
- How long does flashing take?
- 45–60 seconds under standard conditions. Do not interrupt the process — this is the only critical requirement.
- Does firmware from the TR-9100 fit the TR-9110HD?
- No. The models have different chips and different firmware files. Using an unsuitable file will guaranteed lock the tuner.
- What happens to the channels after flashing without a reset?
- With an update without a reset the channels are preserved. A reset to factory settings erases them completely.
- What is the latest stable firmware version for the TR-9110HD?
- Version 3.1.4 from December 2021. It fixed 12 critical bugs and is recommended for the vast majority of usage scenarios.
