Flashing Starview 2 that has V4.51

Not a problem it was sitting above you - well done for double checking, Cheers and hope it goes well for you.

 

Flashed it finally, and seems to be working fine! After trying a few times to flash, and turning the box off and on, it finally worked when i left the box off for about 20 minutes, turned it on again and then did the flash, waiting to see if it updates by itself now? Thanks malci : )

 

Hi again,
I am trying to flash a starview 2 box. I have to do the 3 flashes due to the prev software that was installed. I do the 1st flash 4.54(at this point if i reboot,the digital display = four bars go up, it goes to "on" then blank), when i do the logo flash the 4 bars dont stop after download complete and just keeps counting up the 4 bars (no on). If at this point i do the flash of the uk fix then after reboot the bars count up go to "O" of the word on and freezes, i have tried 3 times now and also 1 without reboots between flashes but still no joy and get same prob. Have looked at bad flash procedures and see no info on this problem. Anyone any ideas? genuine sv2 in uk nthell

thanx in advance

 

maybe this is the problem i,m having?? Is it definently channel data file for the logo file?? It wont accept this file on anything else but background data file (which is what i used) as this was only one gtrom v4.54 seems to work with?? Now i,m confused

 

Dreadly, i think malci has made a mistake here, but it's definitely the BACKGROUND DATA file you select for the Logo file
This is what i did...

Flashed V4.54
Then The Logo File (Background Data File)
Then the fix

Then it was done Like i said previously, after trying to flash it on standby a few times nothing was happening, just kept getting "flash update fail"
So i turned the box off for a while, turned it on again and almost immediately clicked download on the GTrom software, and then everything started to download and work...

 

Just tested, and AUTO UPDATE works fine too

 

Thanks to everyone, my box is now working.

Just one thing, could someone point me in the right direction to download an app that will allow me to organise the channels? they're all in a messed up order.

Cheers.

 

trying again as we speak.....you did do it the same as me, but a 5th time wont harm will post again soon with results

 

Help help help,
same again, flashes take and complete ok, but when u turn box on I am getting stuck at the letter O of the word on. 4 bars then the letter O but no letter n. Normally its 4 bars the letter O the letter n then it starts? I have now tried this 6 times. Always same result.

Thx in advance

 

been trying for couple of hours to get this working,when exactly did you click download,when you switched box on,or when on appeared on box,cheers in advance

 

before it says on i click on download. if i try to wait till its on it does not work , gonna re-download the files in case flash file i got corrupted (unlikely but trying everything

 

megcam, i first tried it on standby a few times no joy, so then i turned the box off started the download in GTrom, and then switched the box on after about 15seconds, did this method a couple of times, and all i got was download to 10% then "flash update fail" so i turned the box off for about 20mins, then switched it back on, left it at that and then clicked download (after about 10 seconds of turning the box on) and flashed the files, and they started to work and % bar was increasing... So keep trying! Try flash it as recommended on standby, if not turn it off for a while and do i what i said in this post.

Dreadly i have no idea mate, you;ve got it to flash, but then you have problems after, need one of the experts to answer this for you

 

OK, so i am now going to flash with the origonal 4.51 that i had , have also downloaded the fix again (after deleting my old one from the p.c.) in case it was a corrupt file and will now try again meaning that i will flash with 4.51, then 4.54, then the logo then the fix lol. Personally i think the prob is with the logo flash as at when it completes the box does not go into standby but bars just keep rolling. However will try everything and see how it goes, will post again with the results

 

tried it with another box,i flashed with 4.54 at end of which i got flash burning then download complete,then i did the logo(didnt get a flash burning message) then i used gtrom super 8.023 im still getting flashing failed

 

Did you read the Notepad prior to flashing??

PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE TRYING TO UPDATE THE STARVIEW 2THEBOX

THIS IS THE NEW RELEASED FIRMWARE FOR THE BOX 2 WITH THE FIX FOR THE UK



OK PEEPS THIS IS WHAT YOU NEED TO DO FIRST CHECK WHAT FIRMWARE YOU HAVE ON YOUR BOX


SYSTEM INFO API VERSION ******


IF YOU HAVE V4.51 ON IT YOU FIRST NEED TO FLASH THE V4.54 ON


THEN THELOGO FILE WHICH HAS TO BE TICKED WHEN LOADING AS BACKGROUND FILE


THEN THE NEW 802 FILE AND IT WILL WORK

 

Dreadly, made a typo error earlier, as Des has said, there is a full service pack with the update and as I posted on another thread this is what you must do, Leave the box ON - not Standby OK you have the 4.51 on your SV2 so from there >>>>>>>>

First flash thebox_454eE_api.bin to your box with the new GTRom.4.3
(select as App file only) box checked

Then flash thebox_logobg.bin to your box using the new GTRom.4.3
(select Background Data File) box checked

Then flash with the 802 BIN FILE using the same loader
(Select App File only) box checked

 

Hi, I’ve got a cloned Starv1ew box: APT ver: 2.57e_E Does anyone know if there is a fix for this yet? Many thanks!

 

have tried above but still saying flash failed

 

What have you tried moh, if you referring to and are flashing the Starview 2, The Box then there is another easier way, if you are currently running the 4.51 firmware on your box, you can now just flash straight up to 4.55 firmware but you must use the GTRom 4.03, you will find it in Eamo's FTA Library at the bottom of mt post.

 

No afraid not, and it does not look promising either, so you will have to carry on with manual input at the minute anyhow, sorry.

All updates will eventually be announced here as and when scOuser puts them in Eamo's FTA Library >>>>>>>>>
