Hi,

Hope someone could help please. I am having problem updating my SV box

Using GTloader i select the bin file to upload but program stalls and doe not upload the file located on my hard drive?

I have the Null modem call female 9 pin soi no its not this
i have selected mine to com1 no good

I think i have a cloned box from the pic and dimensions dont know if this is making a differnce.

Version i have is 257e

Please i going mad here.

Thanks

 

what does it say on screen eg flash update failed ?

 

Try s different download of the gt rom loader and the 2.57 fixed bin file and see if that works , another thing , you could have a serial modem cable instead of the NULL Modem cable

 

Yes it does say it has failed.

No i have A Null Serial Modem cable same as the one posted from maplin.

I will try a different GTrom loader although i have tried 2

Thanks anymore input will be great!

 

firmware2.57 fixed (for clones only) thanks to Ryan

You can get the gt rom loader above

Make sure your box is on Stand-By before transfering the bin file

 

Thanks you again just tried from your links but same thing failed flash

Takes like 2minutes and then says failed?

i have and input signal also to the and ANT

and its also set to 115200 so this must be something else either very simple or the clone is just not having it?

 

Seems like you are clicking upload in Gtromloader when you should be clicking download for the bin file flash.

 

10/10 for observation there Scouser lol

 

Have not been on for a while I am fresh lol

 

Sorry if i was implying i was uploading sorry this is not the case i am actually selecting download.


I will take this box to another PC and see if this makes any difference
i cant see why it will but i running out of option fast.

Thanks for the suggestions again.

I will post and let you know how i get on

Thanks again the help is appreciated.

 

No Joy,

I went round but they dont have rs232 socket!!

Oh well i guess thats it then.

Thank you for your help.

 

Make sure your using the right COM port , Baud Rate is 115200 , STB Model is GCR 3510 and App File Only is ticked

 

Hi, Celtic

Yes i have done this several times and i have only comm port 1 and this is setup


Thanks

 

I know this might sound silly , have you turned the power on and put the SV on standby

 

Hi,

Celtic

Yes i plugged in box left on standby e.g no channels but clock.

I have a signal into the box also.

It does seem weird and i am still open to obvious problems, which i might be overseeing, but every time someone suggests something it seems i have already tried it???????

Thank you for your continued support.

 

Is this a Starview 1 and has it always been working and you are just trying to update it? Is it a clone or genuine box?

 

Here is what i a ding in sequence if you can spot any mistakes in my approach please say.


* Plug SV box in leave on standby (with n channels listed).

* Plug my Serial Null Modem Female 9 pin cable into cloned SV box

* Plug live signal into the ANT both tried with and without.

* Turn on pc load GTloader an locate bin file from HD in this case 257 fixed tried several different bins. With Serial null cable in pc.

* Select comm port 1 only available one on MY PC

* Select Baud rate 115200

* Click 'Download' pauses for a minute nothing loads.

* Flash Failed.

 

When you say you have plugged feed into ANT you should be plugging it into cable in. This will not affect the firmware upgrade. But do you have an aerial/dish feed or a true cable feed.

What are your area and provider details.
