DigiVox Tutorial

Youve got there now and checked

 

people have been given wrong cable before as rs232 cable are identical but null modem has a crossover wire in it.
and u have changed the com ports 1-2-3-4 and none work i would say wrong cable supplied

 

I have tried all com ports but still no success,so tomorrow i will get a new cable and then try once again.I will keep you posted about my progress or lack of it,thanks very much for your time.

 

if in trouble just call

 

Sounds like Ghostbusters now

 

or is boxbusters

 

Cactikid,i'm back again with the same story.I got a null modem cable and unzipped the bin file but still no progress,the same message appears.I have no other clue as to how i can get this box to work.If i had known what was in store for me i'd have not bought this box,its a nightmare.

 

man dnt give up, my digivox is dead 3 month ago and still dead, bur 2day i bought pci card and installed to my pc, so im waiting 4 next few days when mapline get null odem rs232, then i try again, i blieve, in ur case just check if ur pci card installed properly, cos u have 2 instal driver 3 times then restart ur pc, i just doubt it that u instaled properly, cos if u did, should be every thing be ok 4 u.

 

Hi my mate has a digivox dv3 cable box don't think it is XL what software do you use to get key auto roll, or can i use xl software?

Please advise

 

really no idea about xls, but as evry body says that u just open downloader then click brows then u c all version of firmware if u already downloaded, u just need to download downloader and download v 2800 and put them in same folder.

the main thing is u have 2 check if there is connection between ur pc and the box, i think that is the case if u did evry thing correctly, then the only faulty would be no connection.

i had same problems i used usb convertor, because my pc doesnt have serial port, so was nt connection at all, but 2day i instaled serial port to my pc, but havent tried yet, cos waiting 4 4 rs232 cable.

there r 2 different serial port card, desktop and laptop, each one have different one, so make sure u installed correctly.

my digivox even is not 2008, i bought it 2007.

gd luck man, hope u sorted out, but i think if there is connection so u try every things, first try downloader if not then xls, then shoul be work. if u have further problem ask catkid or main man i think they know better.

 

I think Cactikid will provide me with a solution because from what i have read on the forum,he knows this stuff.

 

hi gang i hope i do .lol.just want to point out each box has its own files and are not interchangeable .
digivox 2007 model black and silver use vers 2.800.
digivox xl all black use vers 1220.
do not put xl on 2007 and viceversa or u might brick it.
the handiest way to flash ur box is with pc with serial port and null modem cable.flashing with usb ports and adaptors do not always work.and vista i wont even go there.
the xl vers 1230 is a beta added patch for boxes that reboot only and is on trial,u have to flash it with vers 1220 first.
another solution if any of ur friends have a pc with serial port is a quicker way to flash box,if u r thinking of buying a pc check to see if u can add a serial port makes life easy.

 

gd tips catkid thanks, but also i have a question, when u open downloader in mode section it gives u 2 choices 1.App 2.channel so which one i have 2 pic, also it gives u 2 choices aswell when u pick up channel it gives u these options 1.download 2.upload, can u explain pls.

 

Hi Cactikid,i have taken a break from trying to flash my box because it's giving me a headache.I will resume shortly i need to refresh my mind.

 

with downloader open app selected u put firmware onto box say digivox v2.800,u then select com port,then download.
if u have a channel dump file on desktop which u want to put onto box u then select channel and download to box.
if u have freshly scanned a box u can make a dump file on pc by selecting channel and uploading to pc an identical file.
if u have another identical box u can flash firmware first,let box reboot ,select channel,browse where u stored ur dump file,select it ,open,and download,box reboots.
the problem with a dump file is short lived as channel frequency change ur file will be obsolete.

 

gd man catkid, thanks alot i'll try on thursday when mapline get null modem, thanks again.

 

dbf9 null modem cable

 

yeas, that is what im going to buy, but another question, now i have downloader and also v2800 in my usb(memory stick), do i have to transfer the file, wich contain v2800 and downloader to desktop or i can updated even if the file is in my usb drive.

 

thanks alot cactikid, i updated my digivox allright, but i have small problem, i have to wait 4 upc to instal ntl 4 me, cos i moved my place, so there is no worries.

 

so you got half of it sorted lol,how did u find flashing ur box easy and nervous,i will send 99 more people round to u now as we have a flasher about.lol
