failed to flash

somehow I can not flash the sv/kryptview box's, I have downloaded the software and when I click on download nothing happens. I have connected up the cables via usb converter,also tried two different laptops, is there anyone out there that is willing to run through this with me.
Please.

 

i have the same problem with sv the box just says flash failed have tryed everything in starview updating firmware but nothing works firmware is fine as i have used it already so y y y y dose it not work

 

Well hopfully the big guns will put this right soon enough, I've been trying since yesterday for a break through but had to give in and ask for help.

 

I am in the same boat. Tried changing to the clone firmware still wouldn't flash. I made sure the com channel for the PC was write as per previous threads, still now getting there and getting a little frustrated. Please help.......

 

My box failed to flash on the first four attempts,then got the 100% needed no idea why it did that as I flashed a box last week on the first go.

 

If you are using USB Adaptors coupled with a NULL MODEM lead, then that is what is causing your problems, so have a look here at these links with regards to the correct assigning of the COMM port. >>>

And if the problem still persists, then delete the firmware off your PC and download another, it does sometimes get corrupt.

 

Followed too the letter with no success,even deleted and redownloaded firmware and software, anyone got it right?.

 

I have same problem and have been trying for days, I also tried :MALCI: method with no success, I have also tried on 3 different systemings.. xp 98 vista... read through most of the treads, whats happening????????.
Oh Merry season to all.
From stressed out.

 

when you say you did step by step what Malci told you ...are you sure you have the correct cable..its not the one that came with the box, it looks the same but is wired differently, have a look here:

DESB,, I have the first cable shown on the link, on the packet it came with gives the code (cable-138). I have had success before with the same cable and have bought another incase that was the problem. I went have step by step over and over with no joy. I can't understand it worked before. I have XP laptop with the right convertor software. Its days now. Anymore I can do ESB:???.

 

the cable with the 138 were did you get it? I havent heard of it before, perhaps you downloaded whats called a corrupt file... will you delete the files from you PC and download again..get them from Eamos library below my sig...

 

desb; I have deleted the files numerous times and reloaded, done this on another laptop as well and all failed. The cable came with the box from iwantabox. The laptop I have is one day old.

 

I cant see the supplier giving you a true NULL MODEM cable, but look tell me exactly step by step how your trying to flash, we might have missed something!

 

Desb;
(1) plug the cable into the back of the box and into the pc.
(2) plug the box into the mains and turn it on.
(3) double click gtrom loading software
(4) click on the download button
And that it, nothing futher than that, I also have digivox and its the same result although with different steps.

 

when you turn on the box... turn it to standby just press the button at the front of the box ( you will see the time 12.00) then pressdownload!!

 

DesB; Have reloaded the software/firmware, box on standby,,,, flash failed. Its hurts at this stage.

 

wereabouts are you??

 

DesB; down south in cork city

 

desb, I have also tried two nighbours pc's,

 

I am stumped myself its starting t odo my head in as well, i have asked some of the other lads for advice and hopefully they will help out.. give it a few minutes!!
