cannot flash eurovox 2 software cannot find the receiver

I'm like a dog with a bone I want to sort this. in April Eurovox 2 stopped working. I've fathomed out how to manually input the codes, so got it working again. I got fed up of doing this so wanted to flash the unit with the latest firmware.Bought a USB232 converter,turned out the terminal end was male, the unit input was male so bought a female to female converter. the cable came with a small cd, downloaded and installed the driver to run the cable. Downloaded the firmware a winrar file, and extracted the DnUpman-cable 050415 file plus the Ev2 fix 140408 core 070506 bin file. connected the eurovox to the computer via the cable. ran the software. the software goes through all the ports that the unit is connected to but cannot find it. the unit is connected to comport 4. if I sellect this, I get the message waiting for the receiver. I have switched the power on and off to the eurovox, but makes no difference. I have tried all the other firmware files for the other Eurovox boxes, and none of these will find the unit. I am certain that mine is Eurovox 2, the silver one with 2 scart sockets, bought about march 2006. I've hit the buffers
can anybody help.

 

along with the usb serial converter you need a null modem cable 9 pin female to 9 pin female but has to be a null modem cable not an rs232 or any other cable

 

you are a star, I'll get one. I got the USB 232 Converter. when I saw that the pins were wrong, I bought a small metal adaptor from maplins. not because of the cost of buying the proper cable about a metre long. I just thought I didn't need the extra cabling. will now buy the proper thing. thanx. will report back if I succeed.

 

thanx. obtained the null modem cable, eurovox 2 flashed succesfully.

 

my friend has a eurovox 2 not a clone he flashed it with the latest firmware on tcb.cc which came out as successful but as he connected it to his tv first the remote would not work and now the whole box has frozen no channel change menu nothing not even a picture on the tv ie no signal. can he reverse it?
please can somebody help. he used the eurovox au fix by sunrise released 14/04/2008

 

what box has he is it a maxv black or a red or blue?and whats tcb.cc?if its a max v black he can try a reflash but you have to do a factory reset after flashing otherwise the box will crash

 

first of all tcb.cc is what the bigmaq toolbar is called and secondly it is one of the first eurovox boxes the version 2 one silver and two buttons on the left one on/off and the other exit button then it has a navigation type button with ok/menu button in the middle and the vol up down and ch up down on either side. i dont know if this is of any use but it has a sticker on the bottom with RAM384CXA0602 000899 written on it.

 

Since flashing the unit, I have had a couple of problems, but have decided to live with them.
Sometimes the T.V. screen goes green, I pull the plug out, this corrects it.
Sometimes there are no listings, again I pull the plug out, this corrects it.
I've never had any trouble with the remote.
Would not know how to return the unit to it's original factory running software.
No doubt there is someone out there who can help you. good luck.

 

you will need to no wether its red or blue,red has 8vents running the lenght of the tuner(on top of the box)leading from the rf in,blue has 12 vents all firmware is in eamos library under my pic (so no need for dodgy toolbars)also he needs to no if its a blue box wether its a clone or genuine again all the info is in the library in the eurovox folder.

 

the box that i have is before the red box the design is not the same as the newer boxes ie the max boxes it is silver in colour and more squarer i think it is the eurovox 2 box with two scarts and the tuner runs down to 12 vents has white ribbons green capacitors shiny cover on the scarts and a flatter squarer remote, the problem is that i cannot get anything to work all i am getting is channel 9 on radio no sound nothing no buttons on the box or the remote work.

 

ok look in here and come back and tell me if its a clone or genuine http://www.4shared.com/account/file/25134698/99eddb44/Genuine_and_clone_eurovox_blue_Box_Pics.html

 

my box has green components with brown tops it has white ribbons and not a bunch of tangled wires and it has a h&v logo maybe because it is an earlier box ie comparing the flap to your pictures it is located on the bottom half and runs about two thirds across the length of the box. cheers mate much appreciated.

 

also when i googled eurovox 2 box pics it shows a picture of it. it is the one in the middle with the remote leaning against it.

 

Disconnect from the mains and open the screws around the casing. Look inside and see if it has a reset switch. Press it and close the casing back on with the screws and connect back to the TV and see if that helps.

 

Do you ever go to bed???? lol.

 

Hi Noely lol

I dont need much beauty sleep , usually 4-5 hours is enough ha ha

 

ive got an early morning but this is doing my head in and cheers mate the reset button did work but still no response from the control so cannot access any menus.

 

Check the remote control and make sure a button is not stuck down ?

 

no buttons stuck plus new batteries switched off then back on but no diff

Goodnight & God Bless
