Eurovox max v. code being updated (please help)

Hi i have had this box for a few years, i have in the past had to download new firmware and also manually update the codes.
This box has been off for a few weeks now, all channels showing "code being updated"
I have tracked down the latest codes and manually put them in but nothing is changing, i have tried turning off the box and updating on sky sports but that just resets all the codes to the old ones. nothing i do seems to work.
I have been through all the treads on here to get an idea of what to do but with no joy. please can anyone help.
many thanks
Tina

thanks hiteck will try this one

 

Hi Hiteck, i have plugged all the leads etc in and followed the directions from the link you gave me. when i press download it says " system reset" have tried this a few times now and it keeps saying it and wont let me go any further.
any more advice please

 

When it says system reset uplug the box from the mains and plug it back in.

 

hi i have done that lots of times, i am doing it with the cable lead unplugged is that right? also when i says the box will come up with either ---- or 4 numbers, mine says the time.

 

Have you got your box in standby when flashing also are you using a USB adaptor. You only need the power cable to the box and of course the Null modem cable plugged in.

 

yes it is on stanby, i am using the null cable from the box to the pc. not a usb adapter.

 

See if this version goes on >> http://www.4shared.com/file/74008570/234ed3bc/UFL_MAX_V_30_11_08.html

Delete the other Firmware then download this and give it a try.

 

hi i have tried this other version, but it says the same. system reset.
any other ideas?

 

Usually powering the box off/on sorts this have patients and keep trying, are you sure you have a Null modem cable and not an RS232 serial cable? try a factory default before flashing the box with either firmware then if still no luck all I can say is try it on another PC/Laptop.

 

Hi, sorry how do i do a system restore? thankyou for all your time in helping me

 

Menu, Config, Clear data enter pin 0000, Factory default, Ok to confirm.

 

many thanks, will try that now.
thankyou once again for all your help

 

No problem, good luck.
