I have noticed that a lot of people that a lot of people would like to have the starview firmware. Due to the high demand I have uploaded the files along with GTRom Loader v4.00 (used to flash the firmware onto the starview)
API Ver:
255
257 mirror
259 mirror
260 - Only for real boxes. Manufacture assured that it will kill fakes
300 - Only for real boxes. Manufacture assured that it will kill fakes
400 - Only for real boxes. Manufacture assured that it will kill fakes
401 (Modified Version 400) - Only for real boxes. Manufacture assured that it will kill fakes
Click here to check if you have a real or fake box
GTRom Loader v4.00 - Downloads: 
Download the GTRom Loader First to check if my server hasn't corrupted the files. If it downloads but doesn't startup then all the files will be corrupt. It seems to be a problem with the PHP on my server
If you notice that these links do not work then just say so and I will try to update them as soon as possible. And if someone could test the firmwares which I have not tested that would be most appreciated

1. Plug starview in at the mains;and put on stand by
2. Plug in null modem cable and join up box with
PC using COM port on PC (there is only one socket for
this on the starview you cant go wrong);
3. Open up GTRom loader this will be the soft ware on the cd
4. Click on "BIN File" on GTRom and load the
Auto update BIN File file that you have
(which I assume you have downloaded from here).
5. Now click download button and you sill se the
file being downloaded.
6. Once complete a mssage will apppears saying
something like "download successful".(you must wait till youir pc says this it about 20 seconds atfer it says 100%))
7, plug box in and press Menu on
remote, installation, choose your cable provider,
then move don to automatic scan and press ok.
8. Once all channels have been found press exit back to TV screen.
9. Now press menu, parental control, press ok.
10 Now press the info button then the numbers 2 0 0 4. Move down to Key Emu and change option
to on.
Press ok , then exit back to TV Screen.
11. Go to scrambled channel and wait for it to unscramble the channels
12 then watch tv.
13. Details how to sort favourites etc is in the manual.
Get a Bin c=image for your area though and this will
save you a bit of work.

For those who care I have added the 260 firmware although it is untested. So if someone could test it, it would be helpful

I've never heard of that one. I know that each region need a different channel file. But that is only required if you don't want to do an automatic scan. Everyone I know uses the 257 API. Truthfully I do not know what the difference is between 257 and 259.

is there any apps to modify / tweak the firmware? Do starview suffer from bad flashes? if so are they recoverable?

Sorry about that. You should download the GTRom Loader first if it runs the others will. If it doesn't then tell me because all the files go currpt together.
Edit: Sorry I didn't see the first post about the GTrom Loader 2 days ago

Well the files wont have been corrupt if you downloaded them after the 9th May. So its probavly the firmware file. If someone could send me another copy of it. I'll compare and see if there is a problem with my version. Sorry about that

Nothing wrong with the file, it's the clone Starviews that cannot take updates and get wiped out.
Keep it real.

If the firmware isnt to blame then why did every one with a 260 upgrade end up with a dead box - all at the same time, think about it

At the end of the day no one can say theyve a genuine or fake box unless they actually work in the place that makes them, we can guess all we want but none of us really know! maybe all boxes are genuine - who knows!!
