Hi
You could try using Jkeys to flash it. I have flashed a few boxes (Not Starviews )with JKeys and there is an erase option before the write to flash. Not sure if an erase option in Skymax, but it needs erasing first. Link to flashing below

i did try jkeys and that threw up a load of error objections. it has got erase on skymax, i get past that part, it is the write part that thows up a error

 

Hi
Ok then maybe we need to call in some of the 'longer been here' helpers like Celtic71 or Sc0user to point you to some leads.
Any ideas lads?

Are you using a buffered or non buffered jtag a pic would help of your connections. Have you got your parallel port set to EEP and an IRQ of 378? If it has erased why not go directly to write and see what happens?

 

thank you very much for trying to help jbvideo it is the first time i have ever posted and i did not think i would get a reply it was a last throw of the dice before i binned the box seeing you replied i will stick in there thanks again John

 

Ignoring me I see

 

Its probably with me stickin my oar in

LOL these jtags problems can be a pain so keep sticking that oar in

 

sorry scouser i am really slow at typing and very new and did not really know what you meant by buffered and unbuffered i have tried writing and thats when the following gets said

Init
JTAG
DCU OK
Trap_Wptr : 80000534
File : E:\Starview Jtag Stuff\Jtag DEAD starview\tsop flash.bin
Write Flash ADR[7FE00000] LEN[00200000] : Please Wait...
Error writing flash at address 7FE04000 ACK = 00000100
Write Flash END

 

Ok then take a look at the info about Jtag in the link below and come back if you have any questions, You should see your interface there, and details how to flash.

jbvideo that is exactly how i did it but box did not turn on,i have just found out that i have a 1 gen box if that makes a difference

 

You should have pins instead of pads is that the case.

 

May be that box needs different attention, Have to put it back to Sc0user again, sorry, my speciality is TheBox PVR, Not done a lot of reading on earlier boxes.

scouser i do not have pins but read in another post 13 vents on box was 1 gen, must admit pictures i have seen mine is a clone

 

It erased ok, so now click start again but this time dont click erase just go straight to write and it should write ok, when complete disconnect the parallel cable from the jtag, but leave the jtag connected and reboot the box it should now show the display and all that then needs to be done is to flash it with 2.57eE fixed and that should be it.

 

Ohh the dreaded jtag lol

 

ok scouser i will try that tomorrow, as it has done my head in at the moment thanks a lot for your help i know your a legend on here and my thanks again to jbvideo will get back soon and let you know what happens

 

cetic71 they made it sound so simple when selling the gear to me

 

Yes, ok, we'll be here, evening Celt
