download the digivox loader to desktop,followed by bin file 2.8,hook up digivox with null modem cable to pc,right click on digivox loader to open,click on browse to find bin file 2.8,on desktop hopefully,when u see it click on file,that loads it into loader,and click the button open,u should see the named file v2800-api ready for download,digivox on hit download and wait till it tells u it is finished before unplugging and box has rebooted.

Hi Guys,im new on this forum but i hope you'll get me out of my misery.I have followed all the instructions about loading firmware on my Digivox xl but everytime i get a message "FAIL TO UPDATE FLASH",what is the problem.Ihave downloaded the bin file v1230-api.bin and downlaoder 10 but all the time the message is the same.My pc did not have a serial port but i have installed one myself,also im using the r232 cable that came with the box.I understand i have to download v2800-api.bin but from where?please help.

 

When you say you installed a serial port, do you mean a PCI card? Also you say you have an RS232 cable you need a null modem cale which is a serial crossover cable.

 

WARNING THAT IS NOT A CORRECT FILE DO NOT TRY LOADING TO XL.PLEASE STATE WHAT BOX U HAVE XL ALL BLACK OR 2007 BOX BLACK AND SILVER.

 

Hi Scouser,i have installed a pci i/o controller card and the RS232 cable i'm using has two female ends,one fits into the box and another into the serial port i installed.I have also installed the drivers that came with the card.

 

Hi Cactikid,i have the black 2008 digivox xl which i bought last week.The people i bought the box from told me to download this bin file but it looks like they dont know what they are talking about.

 

when i saw v2.8 alarm bells rung as they are for older box not xl.
what vers is on box at the moment and what problem are u having

 

There is nothing on the box at the moment because i have not been able to load any firmware.Like i said before it says "Fail to update flash" when i tried to download and there is nothing on the progress bar.Im also only able to use com ports 3 and 4 only.

 

Wrong cable and by the looks of things wrong firmware as well.

 

ok u need to download digivox loader to desktop,followed by digivox xl file v.1220 that is the more up to date bin also to desktop.
click on downloader to open,browse for bin file on desktop and select
v.1220api,this should appear in file name,then click the open button,
u have a selection of com ports to try,u might have to go thru them all to see which one works.when it downloads wait till it says download complete and box reboots before removing cables

 

Not if he has an RS232 straight through cable

 

we have not got there yet u old devil ya,check your mail?lol

 

Cactikid,i have tried what you have just said but the message still appears -"Fail To Update Flash" and the progress bar is blank.The rs232 cable i'm using is the one supplied with the box.
