Warning!! Attention for all MAG users. *Must read*

The MAG devices are losing the portal settings after updating the device to the latest version of system software and this will not allow the users to add any portal addresses to the device.
So the event of any blockage by infomir, you can use the below methods to unblock your MAG devices.

In this guide, we will teach you how to downgrade the system software to a version that works with IPTV portals or install an image file that brings back the portal settings and IPTV channels via a USB drive if your device is blocked by infomir and you are no longer able to receive any IPTV channels.

Important notice: You must TURN OFF the AUTO UPDATE feature for your MAG device. We can't stress this enough. Auto update feature must be turned off from the settings, otherwise, it will cause problems.
