Flashing Replay Lite help

Hi Guys, looking for help in flashing my replay lite.
I have downloaded all the files required and have the null cable. I have attached the box to the laptop via the usb cable and have ensured the usb to serial port is set to com1, however the stblink setup comm option starts to connect but fails and gives a connection error. This will be my first flashing of the replay lite so any help would be welcome. Alternatively anyone in the Clondalkin area willing to flash the box for me would be even better?

 

use the older loader(stb5.32) with the latest firmware
i've had this problem with the new loader too

 

You need the 28122008 firmware from eamos library, with stblink 5.32, as cathaldub said.

 

hi guys, thanks for the quick response, unfortunately I have tried the stblink 5.2 but still not making connection - any other ideas?

 

Hi evastar
what happening to tk is it still on
Thanks

 

are you 100% sure its set to com1 in device manager?
usually that port is in use.

 

tried com1 & com2

 

yeah, the link i have isnt working though, try googling it and then click on that

 

Hi Evastar, have all the files already downloaded from emos library. Dont know why it wont make the connection, I have re-checked the com port and can confirm only com3 is in use so allocating com2 should work - probably something simple but just cant work it out.

 

have you ever used your null modem cable before, are you sure its not just an rs232?

 

cant really be sure but I did ask for it by part number in maplins - looking at it now there is no part number on it, it says usb serial converter. Is there any way I can check it out, it does look like the one shown in the picture - blue connections at either end?

 

Just had a thought, my null usb cable is usb to serial male connection, but as the laptop connection is also male, I put a gender changer connection on it. Could this be it, should I be using a full db9 cable attached to the usb device?

 

you have a usb device?

are you using vista and a laptop?

if at all possible, try and get to a pc with xp and the 9 pin connection, will work like a dream.

Lots of people have had problems with using usb drivers.

 

OK cheers, dont have pc at home only laptop, will need to see if I can find a good Samaritan

 

do that and come back and let us know how you get on

 

will do thanks

 

Hi guys, have now flashed the box to the new 28122008 firmware have connected the box back to the tv . On some channels I am getting NAScrambled. Any ideas what this means

 

Your on NTL and those channels are no longer broadcasted on the Nagravision1 stream that your box is using, you need a different box

 

ah didn't think that had happenned for so many channels yet, but thanks for the info
