Can somebody please help, this is driving me crazy. I have updated the software with almost every software (clone, not clone) I have put in all the recommended codes from oct 17 etc for every company, checked and stored. Turned EMU ON etc and scanned it etc... Every time I keep getting the same thing.. The box will pick up channels when finished scanning and you go to the channel it plays sound for 2 sec of a channel then keeps crashing and rebooting and crashing etc.... AHHH please help it is driving me INSANE!!!
Sorry Bille, Im not very Technical, what I can gather it is a first edition StarView box. Any Advice will be great, Thanks.
I know nothing about that box. You need to get on a thread that deals with the euro boxes, I take it that is where you are
Sorry im a bit dim in this area, Can I use the V400 to reset or install new software?? If it's a clone is it possible to update?? Thanks again pal.
18 vents = clone 25 vents = genuine 13 vents = 1st generation vents are the slits on the top of the box from top to bottom if its a clone try 257 e fixed all the necessary software is in here http://eko.4shared.com/account/dir/3042613/f6e3421c/sharing.html
Yep unfortunately it is a clone (18 vents), downloaded the up loader program thank you so much for that. However can you advise me on what software to install. Really sorry if I am coming across as naive I appreciate your help.
What can I say your a star. Just to make life even more interesting after installation the green light that appears when you turn on just keeps on flicking through. It looks like Knight rider on crack. I Think it might be confused from the number of different software installed on it in the past. Is there anyway I can wipe it and start again with the 257 e, or any other advice. P.s cheers for the speedy replies?
I bought a new box the other week that was doing that thing with the green lights. Turned out it was a bad flash but I just downloaded the correct sw and it's perfect now. You just ignore the instructions that say "wait till your box says ON".
here you go findman courtesy of fergusb If you have a bad flash, switch it off then on at the back & make sure its on standby. Then Flash as normal. This also applies to flashing (up & downloading) the channel data file. If for some reason you cannot flash and have set and checked everything else such as ports and connections, then you should switch off at the back wait a moment then on again. Then try to flash again. If for some reason it won't go into standby and you see a constant moving green line. you may want to wait to see if it goes into standby or switches on eventually or re-flash from this state though it may not work. Some users have reported that flashing an older firmware 1st that was working, then trying again may help. If your flash has failed or corrupted try again but 1st flash back the firmware that was on before your failed flash. Re download the firmware just in case you had a corrupted file then try again. If you do flash from the moving green line state at boot, you will see the % increase on the GTRom loader software but not on the Starview. Toward the end of the flash you'll see a Flash Burning message in GTRom. Make sure you wait until all is finished and you see the Download complete pop up message in GTRom. Another method you can use to recover from a bad flash, eg. the box won't boot to standby and is stuck in pre standby, either after about 3 or 4 moving green lines the box sticks with the green line not moving at all or it keeps moving forever. If the box will NOT RE-FLASH as normal from on or standby, try this but it may take a few goes to work. Connect the box to the pc with your cable but switch it off at the back. Load the correct firmware bin file into GTRom & set it to the correct com port, and select App file only then hit Download. Only then switch on at the back to power on the box. It may take a few sec. so wait at least 30 sec. (If it doesn't work 1st time try also waiting a couple of sec. to switch on after pressing download in the loader.) It may take more than 1 try to work, but eventually you'll see the loader kick in and the % bar increase. You won't see the % on the Starview though. Only green lines moving left to right. Towards the end of the flash you'll see a message in GTRom saying FLASH BURNING. Then it will reach 100% and wait for the download complete pop up box to appear & the box will reboot back to factory setup. You will have lost any channel data previously on the box & will need to rescan & switch on EMU and set the box up from scratch. If you don't know the state of the box switch it on see what happens see if there already has been a channel scan done before-meaning there are channels on it working or not. If so tune to an unencrypted channel as above then standby then re-flash.
Hi Bill, I have tried everything advised with no joy as of yet. I know this has nothing to do with the link. However I have decided to invest in a new box, is there one in particular that you would advice in order for easy updates etc.. Thanks again mate.
