Hello! So i finally got my firmware loaded and got into tunerstudio. The ms3 was connected and seemed to be operated fine for approximately 5 minutes, after a power cycle the status on tunerstudio went from offline (with key off) to not connected. When i search the port with tunerstudio and the firmware loader, both can't find anything on the port. If anyone has any ideas i'm desperate for help to get this going :(

 

Sometimes the cable can be the problem. I went through two cables before I found one that worked well. What type of serial to usb cable are you using? I got the gigaware one from Radioshack and it works excellent.
