    I am trying to update the eur@v@x m@x V with the latest UFL_Kuro image with the autoroll fix. However I have some problems.

    Using a laptop with a 9pin serial connection. When I start the UFL it by default starts to look for COM4. My machine only has COM1 available.

    On selecting DOWNLOAD - I get a START button and on selecting this I get the following message:

    "The receiver was not detected"
    "If you want to download the firmware in the boot mode, click OK button below and AC power on your receiver"
    COM Port settings:
    COM1 COM2 COM3 COM4 (You can select one of these)

    I have a Serial cable supplied with the Eur@v@x, so I have assumed it is a NULL modem cable.

    So can I follow the instruction above and will it detect the box on a newly selected COM port? Or do you think that it is a serial cable but not NULL modem?

    Help much appreciated.

    Thanks

    It's your COM Port.

    Change it to one that the UFL has too.

    Even if windows reports a particular COM Port is in use, you can still force it to use it for the box.

    If you got your cable with the box its very likley that its a null modem cable and this is fine for the job.

    Right click My Computer then click properties,
    go to device manager
    press the + at the side of com/ports
    right click your com port then properties
    in port settings click advance then assign it to com-p the ufl is searching for.

    Thanks for your help. I went to the advance settings in Dev Mgr and it allows me to select only COM1 or COM2 - it says COM3 and COM4 are in use.

    Any ideas how to free up COM4?

    Thanks

    L71BT is most definitely the correct part number & if that is what you got then it is a "NULL Modem Cable"

    When you get to stall situation, try disconnecting the power & connecting it up again quickly (Really quickly) It may take a few attempts.[/quote]

    I think someone may have been mixing and matching posts a bit in the replies above, my quote saying the guy had the wrong cable was for someone who posted that they had a L68BT cable and I posted to say that they had the wrong one.

    L71BT is the correct cable as GMAN has already pointed out!!

    Thanks very much. Managed to get COM4 assigned. Downloaded UFL_Kuro and is now doing a Powerscan.

    I will let you know if there is a problem. Otherwise thanks for your help.

    All scanned juts need to arrange.

    As a tip to anyone else - follow Hitecks advice and also check for any applications that may be using the port (COM4). I also found an old application (either old Palm or Nokia application) that was capturing the port. Close any application in your taskbar to ensure there are no conflicts

    Thanks again.

    Yes, the 18-04-08 works with Chorus and (I think) it updates quicker but I am not sure about the quicker updating thing!

    You are correct, 18-04-08 does update much quicker then the 10-04-08 so 18-04-08 is the one to use.

    No you don't but if you want to have a look at the secret menus go into language settings and put in 1968 twice.
