Installation Notes:

If you wish to try or install titan you need to install an Atemio/Atevio factory loader. The original Atemio Bootloader has a security code within so an installation of Titan is not possible with any other fortis loader

If you wish to install Titan the loader version must be 1.54 or above. Titan versions above 1.32 require the new Iboot loader which needs to be installed first if not present.

There are various ways that are explained below:

AAF Recovery Tool (ART) method

  • Install the AAF Recovery Tool (ART) and set up a connection to your receiver
  • Set the IP address and subnet mask of your uboot environment.
  • Reboot the receiver and reconnect to change the settings.
  • Install the factory loader and reboot.
  • The factory loader you installed is version 1.21 that you have to update to 1.54 to be compatible with Titan
  • Visit the [http:((www-atemio.de Atemio] homepage or the AAF digital forum and download the latest Atevio/Atemio loaader (1.54).
  • Extract the zip file
    • Now copy the unzipped IRD firmware file to a formatted FAT32 USB stick.

Note: The USB stick should not be formatted with windows. Use a separate program, such as the "HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool" (freeware program). Furthermore, we recommend a cheap USB stick with a small storage capacity as well as read and write speed.

  • Turn off the receiver and disconnect all USB devices.
  • Connect the USB stick with the IRD file to your receiver
  • Switch on (mains switch) and at the same time hold the CH + on the unit (about 15 seconds) until "search IRD File ... " appears, and the installation begins. Only then release the button

Note: Should the installation not start, try a different USB stick.

This method explains how to change the Reseler ID of an Atemio/Atevio compatible bootloader and flash it to any compatible Fortis receiver from the plugin menu.

    • Extract the zip file
    • use the reseller ID changer tool and change the IRD to that of your reseller ID.

Note: If installation does not start , use a different USB stick.

  • Should you have installed the loader successfully the receiver will reboot and the installed Loader should start-up.

This method requires you to also change the reseller ID to be able to install TitanNit.

8.111 Uninstalling Titan (Contents) (Main page)


If you have an Atemio/Atevio or UFS receiver all you have to do is install your original ird file as explained above and no bootloader changes are neccessary.

Uninstalling titan and switching back to the original reseller loader can't be done (easily) for other fortis receivers but there is one simple alternative method outlined below.

Uninstalling Titan on non Atemio/Atevio receiver and restore Reseller ID with Maxi-uboot

If you have iboot installed then you must install a version of TitanNit older than 1.32 before using this method.

This will install the factory Atemio loader that is compatible with the AAF Recovery Tool (ART) to be able to install the Maxiuboot Loader.

In order for this method to work make sure the setting Allow "Iboot Update" is enabled in Iboot.

When successfully achieved you may start up ART from your PC and install Maxiuboot.


Once installed you may set up your bootargs and change your Reseller ID back to its factory settings. For flashin original Firmware or other Software please refere to your receivers' manual or instructions.
