flash update fail starview the box

hope someone can help me here,been trying for hours now to flash the box but each time it says flash update fail and doesnt get past 0%. my starview box just went into updating mode for the last couple of days but gets to 140% and then starts again.the emu button is on and its updating on sky 2 but never quite gets there. would really appreciacate some help here. thanks

 

I take it its SV2 The B0x.
What firmware are you using & when was the b0x flashed last?

 

yes noely, the box sv2, not quite sure what firmware is,i just tried downloading the new fix from new years eve. this is the first time i have had to flash it have it about a year now. is it possible that im opening the file with the wrong application?

 

loop, Click on eamos library under my sig & open The B0x folder. You`ll need the 4[1].03 loader.
The firmware you need is the 4.55 for uk, or the 4.57 for Ireland.
All the info for flashing the SV2 & what cables you need is in the second link under my sig.

 

thanks noely will do, will let ya know how i get on.

 

No bother mate, Best of luck with it

 

im getting a message saying " this file does not have a progfram associated with it for performing this action.create an association in the Set A ssociations control panel"

do you know what programme i need to open the file and where i can find it?

cheers

 

Sorry loop, you`ll need to download winrar to extract the files from the folders.
EDIT - Are you using vista or xp?

 

sorry to be a pain noely ,have downloaded that, how do i extract the files?

 

vista, got the loader and tried again, still saying flash update fail

 

Open winrar & select the folder on your desktop. Click on the folder you want eg, 4.55 & extract it to your desktop.
Open the GTRom & select bin file. Highlight the firmware you want & select open. It should now show up in the GTRom loader.
Make sure the b0x is disconnected from the TV & on standby & null modem is connected to pc & click download.

 

Too quick for me there loop lol.
If you know someone with xp on their pc, you`d be better off using that. Theres a lot of problems flashing boxes with vista, so xp should work for you.

 

thanks for all your help noely, my laptop wont let me open the 4.57 file, saying its corrupted or damaged , my mate has xp ill try it there,

cheers

 

If a file is corrupt, then you just delete it from your desktop & download it again. Yep you`re better off using your mates
Let us know how you get on.
