Ive tried to find a program but it says none exists so im stuck. Any ideas ill forever b in your debt

 

Updating Firmware

Connect your box and PC with a Null modem cable and switch on the cable box and put it on STANDBY.
(The Starvi*w does not need to be connected to TV to update it with GTROM)

Open GTROM Loader software make sure that you set the correct COM PORT
that matches the one that is being used

Make sure App file only is selected, then click Bin File & browse to the firmware where you downloaded it to on your PC.

Run the GTROM loader by pressing Download and you will see the % progress increase
then Download completed message on your PC.
Wait until you see the DOWNLOAD COMPLETE pop up on your PC before
removing the NULL MODEM CABLE. The Starvi*w will then reboot

Disconnect from PC and connect back up to the TV

 

thank for the quick reply. when i try to download the firmware to my laptop it wont download i can only save or look online to open it and it says there are no programs available to do that. your help is much appriciated

 

Save the firmware to your computer

You DO NOT open the firmware , You open the GT ROM Loader and then located the firmware you downloaded to transfer to your b0x

 

ive saved the firmware to my pc opened up the romloader found the firmware file and when i click download it comes up: Cant open serial port Last error:system cant find specified file. Im usin a usb serial converter does that make a difference? Im goin crazy ill be still putting in keys when im 70 at this rate

 

Have you installed the USB Adapter with the CD supplied ?

To see what port you are using as GT ROM only uses COM1, 2 , 3 and 4


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

Laptops with Vista have a problem with usb serial adapters, you might need a PCMCIA serial card.
