how do I program the sim japhar for different decoder . Where can I find japhar.exe and how I use it . thank you

Hello Sal,

You find the OS/Firmware on the Japhar section of the box, you have on the top of each Japhar DM section, the OS/SSL/Drivers part. Entering there then you have the various topics with the Dual OS or Triple OS.

On the files you have the infos on how to do it, so how to reflash the box with the new Japhar image and flash the sim, then replace the old sim by the new one.

Example for DM800HD :

You go to :
- Japhar Ferrari Sim
- Japhar Sim for DM800HD
- Japhar Sim OS, SSL and drivers for DM800HD
and you choose the OS you want for your sim
- DM800HD Sim Ferrari OS Application
- DM800HD SuperSim3 OS (3i1 Ferrari, Japhar, Sim2xx)
- DM800HD Sim 2.01/2.10 OS Application
- DM800HD Sim 1.0 OS Application

Then inside one of these 4 sections you will have the archive file with all details, eg for Triple sim : DM800HD_OS_TrippleSim.rar

Hello Toy,
thanks (grazie)

I bought you GCR2 Reader - Programmer for Japhar Sim, a reluctant red diode, and the repairman says that is incorrect, one of you performs the repair, where card reader to send a replacement?

Dear Stevopek,

The GCR2 has no Red Diode,... which programmer are you talking about ?

Try it on another computer as well, like a WinXP Laptop with USB Port, and remember that you could have to install the drivers.

Admin

No red sory, yellow LED, the device manager is not present smart card reader!

The programmer has a Green Led, that flashes and is stable with you insert the simcard inside (full card with sim on it).

Which OS version are you using ?

Admin

Ok, green (yellow) ok, but do not blink, but it can not see until you ukljucum reader of the serviceman, loan, identical but not japhar, OS never installed because I did not receive a signal from the card reader!
I do not know what to do next? 10 days ago we arrived card with address France?

The programmer was tested and was working when sent, this is why we are asking you about which OS etc. As you need to test on another computer, etc. We have on the hundreds of programmers sent, never one fault. So it's for us a fault on the "way to use it". This is why we need you to email to WarLord (you got email confirmation from him) to proceed on the tests that need to be performed and to know which things you do with it.

Admin

*****************

You already have email,

Admin

And to get the LED flashing works and because it so far it is not?
For me it was never blinked when are saved in the laptop!

Try other USB Port or other computer, the GCR2 programmer needs good USB connection and powered connection. Some computers could not give enough power, also check the Control Panel, Hardware section to see if it's recognized or not.

As we wrote you, please tell us which OS you are using, we need the exact version and the Device Manager panel screenshot.

Admin

Need password to unpack rar

Just try "japhar",

You guys clearly are masters of designing this GCR2 programmer with its software and the Japhar software/hardware.

But sadly the instructions on how to use the programmer and where to find this instructions PDF doc file is simply impossible!

It took me already several hours of searching on the Japhar Forum for any useful help, and I gave up after reading many useless links and info's. HELP!

The FAQ is available on the OS section (of every box), with the OS file when you download it. From Win7 you will need to flash twice the file as the first time it erases the OS on the sim card, and the second time it will update with the new OS you want to load. On WinXP it does all at once.

For example for here are the links where you have the details,

Didn't help. Tried it on Windows 7 and 10. Windows 10 searches for an inf. driver file. Same probably goes for Windows 7.
Windows 7 and 10 undoable picked a Microsoft smartcardreader WUDF driver.

I gave up. To little info to go on.

It auto installs, from Windows feeds.

You need to just insert the usb cable and confirm you want to install from the Windows Update center.

For Win7 you also have the drivers on first post, but it should install from Windows Update already, so no driver should be installed at all ! Just insert the programmer and it will work.

Admin

Tried both and failed. The Gemplus driver did not install.
As said Windows kept installing the WUDF driver.
The GCR2 USB programmer failed to work in Windows 7 and 10!
Maybe the autoinstall only works if there is an online internet connection?
But neither do the given Gemplus drivers install offline!
And Windows needs .inf complete driver files to be able to add it to the system.
My Windows 10 Pro version does not work with the given driver and both Windows 7 and 10 state that the programmer is not working.
And I can't find the exact driver files as mentioned in the PDF instruction file.

Win10 auto install the programmer that is a standard PC/SC Reader.
Win7 as well, auto-install it.

Hundreds of members used it and it autoinstalled... don't know how you installed your Win7 or Win10.

If you really want to go the drivers way, there is 4 files, 2 for WinXP and 2 for Win7 on the first post... you have all there. Try the older one then the newer one.

TS

Again no use! Even the specially downloaded GemPcCCID.exe file for all Windows versions failed to install on Windows 10!
Must be the Microsoft Essential sh*t that is running in the background and interrupts the installer?
None of the 2 above mentioned Windows 7 drivers are installable. Windows 7 and also 10 simply ignore them!
Sorry for asking. Without offline installable working driver time is wasted!
The given instructions must be incomplete!
I've installed a lot of USB devices like the USBasp, TL866A, PICKIT3, Labnation Smartscope etc etc and they all worked easy peasy!
The GCR2 assumably doesn't install offline.

We cannot explain all users how to install on their PC with their personal configuration how to install a simple Windows standard device.

A google search gives this, Windows 10 pc/sc reader standard drivers, gives the link below,
Drivers for Windows PC/SC Readers

I believe here is that you have an OS that requires to be online to update it and install drivers, if you don't want such thing, use a "normal" OS that doesn't require such things... but we both know that from Win7 and after the online update is... a necessity. We cannot do then job of the OS when this behavior is the OS requirement...

We have many customers with WinXP, Win7, Win10 that used our software with no problem, you should tune your Windows to be capable of running "normal software" and not only "signed and valid only for Win10" software as it seems you have set.

Admin

I finally found a working driver on this link:
http://www.cryptotech.com.pl/Pomoc_techniczna/GEMPCTWIN_sterowniki,content.html

with name: GemPcCCID_201_en-us_64.msi

And probably another one will work on Windows 7.
Also windows finally found Gemplus scanner as its device name.
The previous proposed drivers really didn't work.

Well done, every installation / Windows is different, and needs to have the right drivers installed.

Our experience shows that the reader autoinstall, using the Windows Update support. Naturally installing manually the driver is also a possibility.

Admin

hello, good morning, my supersim is now installed with the 7* openpli working
Withe the GCR2 programmer is it possible to reprogram à 8 contacts sim 2.01 ss84B?
or it is only for japhar sim card available ?

regards didier delaey

Hello Didier,

Only the Japhar Sim can be reprogrammed. No other sim can be reprogrammed.

Because of Toysoft's crack of the Sim 2.01 (and only that Sim, with "Sim 1.0 Ferrari" to "DM800HD Ferrari Sim"), the Sim 2.01 can be flashed with Toysoft's DM_Sims software, but it will load only again the 2.01 software to it as it was done to recover dead sims.

DM_Sims : http://www.ourdreambox.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=18#Post18

So, in fact only Japhar's sim can be reprogrammed/flashed to be used with different DM boxes, upgrading the sim from a DM800HDpvr to any other one, including the latest DM900UHD clone box.
