help with flashing a genuine starview box

hi everyone can someone help me with the procedure for downloading & installing the firmware on a genuine starview box.i am new to this stuff & i have read all the threads & have downloaded cryptstar v1.4 for genuine boxes. also the gtrom loader v400 winrar but when i try to download it its telling me the stb model nr is wrong the model nr written in the box is gcr3510. i would really appriciate any help

 

have you your box set to the correct com port,are you using a null modem cable?,are you using a usb to serial adapter in conjunction with a null modem cable?

 

im using a null modem cable with a serial port adopter but im not sure how i kiow if im using the correct com port

 

ok try this courtesy of celt71(thanks celt to lazy to type meself)To see which port your USB adapter is connected to, connect your USB adapter and follow the following instructions:

1. Go to the Start Menu
2. Right click on "My Computer"
3. Select "Properties"
4. Click on the "Hardware" tab
5. Click on "Device Manager"
6. Click the + sign next to "Ports (COM & LPT)"
7. One of the listed ports should indicate which port your USB adapter is connected to (e.g. COM1, COM2, COM3, etc.)
8. Go back to your map software program that you use to transfer data and make sure it is looking at the correct port.
9. You should be able to transfer data once the correct port is selected

If you need drivers go here

Follow my advice to step 7. Locate your USB Adapter (port *)

Right click on that port and select properties. Then select port settings, then select advanced. At the bottom of that tab will be a drop down box with the port selected (port * in your case). Use the drop down to select another port (eg 1, 2 or 3). If the port you want to use is already allocated to something else, you can use the same procedure to reassign that port after you have finished.
Save the selections in the usual way. The USB converter will be permanently assigned to the port you selected

 

No problem at all Karl

Right click "Default" and modify it to the correct model name, exit all the way out after.

 

tks scOuser just did that but still no joy. this is driving me mad

 

There is another way to clean out reg files but I wont go there Unless you what me to?

 

sorry for butting in but at this stage i no its hard to do but maybe if a mate has a pc with a serial port you could try it on that,i think a lot of pc's just wont sync with the starview for whatever reason.

 

i actually have a serial port on this pc but i havn't used it cause i dont know how to flash the box from it

 

take away the usb to serial adapter just connect the null modem on your pc to the box i think that was your problem you had no need for a usb adapter
