Big Starview The Box Problems, Need Urgent Help!

Nice vid, you need to double click the bin file to allow it to load to the gtromloader, you are just selecting the file by the looks of it.

 

Oh, it loads into the GTrom loader ok, theres a shine on the PC so maybe you cant see it in the vid, but when i click download it just does that

GTRom v4.00.exe - d92b62128a2b1677e7dd74b3e63715b0

thebox_UK_H20070709_451eE_api.bin - 1ae60f0c4687f2d5a8de95ea6de473df

The gtrom is in the Starview -> Software directory.
The firmware files the box are in TheBox -> Firmware directory.

 

I think I see the problem you dont seem to have "app file only" ticked in Gtromloader.

 

Eamo - Just tried those exact files, but to no avail

Scouser - I do have it ticked

 

Correct and right scouser, although the video is a bit blurred, you can clearly see that none of the options are selected.
As you pointed out, he needs to select the app file only radio button.

 

Dont know Eamo Josin says he does it is just a bit blurry to make out.

 

got my hands on a better camera so i'll show you exactly what i'm doing now

 

Perfect it must be really getting to you now, quite understandable.

There you go, much better quality

 

That's much clearer now. Looks like your trying to do that using wine on Ubuntu. If I remember correctly, I tried this before, wine on SuSE, but had no joy.
I had to install windoze on a small partition, boot to that and do it. It may work under wine, but I didn't / don't have time to mess with it.

Can't try it on my current laptop as I have no serial ports on it.

 

Ok, i'm in my Grandparents house using his Windoze PC, i have 2 Com ports available at the back, so i'm going to try them. Wish me luck

 

Best of luck

 

Thank you sweet jesus, screw linux, i'll take windoze anyday, works like a charm with that cable i bought Sc0user, dunno what i'd have done without you lot. Thanks so much

 

Glad you got that sorted.
As for Linux, remember, the gtrom loader is made for windoze, so it's not the fault of Linux that it's not working.

 

Windoze is good for some things Eamo
