Cables needed to flash your Eurov0x.
If you have a PC/Laptop with a 9 pin serial socket then all you need is a Null Modem Cable, see pic below.
If you have a PC/Laptop that doesn't have the 9 pin serial socket you will need a Null Modem Cable and a USB adapter, See pic below.
If you have a PC and you are struggling with the usb adapter or you have Vista like me you could install a PCI serial card which is easily added to you PC and with this all you need is the null modem cable which gives you a direct link from your box to the pc.

This Information was gathered from Eamo's Library and SG8s Max V Firmw@re thread so thanks go to these and everyone involved.
How to put the firmw@re onto your box.
1. Connect your Eurov0x unit to your PC using the Null modem serial cable as shown above in the other post.
2. Plug in the power cord on the Eurov0x unit and wait until (----) appears on the front display. If it has been flashed before you will see 4 digits instead, leave your Eurov0x on standby.
3. On your PC/Laptop Run the UFL Eurovox program which you downloaded in the post above.
3a (Optional recommended step to save you time) Press the Upload button to save your channel set up favorites etc as they currently are, Save this to a folder on your PC for use later.
4.Click on the 'download' button then wait until you see the following and click start.
If you do not see this – check your connections between pc & Eurov0x, also if you get the message system reset, turn your box off at the mains, hit the download button then plug your box in, (this may require a few attemps).
5. Now download will start and you will see the following,
Eurov0x unit will now show dnld flashing on the front display.
6. After the above window – the following will display
7, When all is finished the following will display,
Now your box is done,
If you did the optional step at 3a, then using the UFL click browse to where you saved your file (CDF file) and click download in the lower box on the Kuro program, and it will reload your favorites etc as you originally had them, if you didn't save your CDF you will have to rescan your box using the powerscan method which is explained below ;)

Eurov0x Factory Default and Scanning Tutorial
Please before you get started check and double check that you have the cable feed pluged into your "RF IN" and not the ANT socket.
1; First of all you will need to know who your Symbol Rate, If you get this wrong you wont pick up any Transponders/Channels so download the list linked below before going any further. (if your on Ch0rus use 6875 as shown below for your Symbol Rate.)
Symbol Rate List Here.
Factory Default,
Power-Scan,
If after the power-scan you do not get all your channels try the above but in (installation) instead of selecting (User Installation) press OK on the **(Deep Scan)** and make sure you select the correct symbol rate!. This can take up-to 2 hours so be patient and happy viewing.

Thanks to celtic71 for this post.
Problems with your PC/Laptop not recognising your eurovox.
To see which port your USB adapter is connected to, connect your USB adapter and follow the following instructions:
1. Go to the Start Menu
2. Right click on "My Computer"
3. Select "Properties"
4. Click on the "Hardware" tab
5. Click on "Device Manager"
6. Click the + sign next to "Ports (COM & LPT)"
7. One of the listed ports should indicate which port your USB adapter is connected to (e.g. COM1, COM2, COM3, etc.)
8. Go back to your map software program that you use to transfer data and make sure it is looking at the correct port.
9. You should be able to transfer data once the correct port is selected
If you need drivers go here
http://www.gilsson.com/usb_drivers_download.htm
Follow my advice to step 7. Locate your USB Adapter (port *)
Right click on that port and select properties. Then select port settings, then select advanced. At the bottom of that tab will be a drop down box with the port selected (port * in your case). Use the drop down to select another port (eg 1, 2 or 3). If the port you want to use is already allocated to something else, you can use the same procedure to reassign that port after you have finished.
Save the selections in the usual way. The USB converter will be permanently assigned to the port you selected.

lol, Seriously this guide is awesome, it's simplicity, allows an alien to update the box!, If there is any updates to the firmware, all can be done is that the links can be replaced with the updated one.
Thanks HiTech
This forum is offically high tech lol, i was worried that i might mess up the box and my dad might kill me lol, but the end result was rather suprising and enjoyable!
Thanks once again!

No need SG as I have already requested this but its an open sticky. And regards guides both as they are of equal quality and detail, hence why they are both in the ultimate sticky.
But as I can see its your prerogative of course.
