Unable to download file because of "unknown file type"

I am new to the Captain 8000 when I try to download the file from the USB stick it says I am unable to download because the file type is unknown. How do I fix this problem?

Here are a few different methods that are reported to work let me know if any help, I have only had problems a few times and I just hard reboot and it picks it up but this dont work for all.

Owners: you can't use this quicktip if you do a factory reset prior to loading a new bin

So....don't factory reset, view channel 1198 (an unecrypted channel for b3v) insert USB and voila!
end of c/p

Hey Good news. I fixed the issue. All my USB flash drives detect. But the issue lies within the bin files:

* Captain8000HD_V653_20080722
* Captain8000HD_V654_20080723

For some reason, as soon as I upgrade to any of these files the USB functionality fails. All I did was set the STB to factory defaults. You will need:

1. Serial Cable
2. Captain_Loader_v1.26
3. CaptainHD Serial Installation Guide (The Instructions)
4. Captain8000HD_factory (factory default file)

Follow the instructions and you will be back to factory defaults. I you plug in your USB drive, it will work. (If/when you then upgrade to 653 or 654 you will lose the USB functionality).

end c/p

1. Insert the USB into STB light on USB should light up, leave the USB in the STB.
2. Power off the STB from the front, wait a few seconds.
3. Power on the STB from the front when the word BOOT appears on the STB
quickly press the Menu button on the STB and release. The USB should work.

end c/p
