it tells you in the link noely reffered to

 

hi i gettin problems too i have tried everything in the how 2 linkj.. i load gtrom 8.04e found in the emoas library. Then i connect to the correct port. then wait till bout 5% the either get flash failed or error. i have a null modem usb lead and have installed the correct drivers (which came on disc) i have tried all my usb ports while changing the port on gtrom loader but to no avail

 

Make sure you have the b0x in standby before flashing.

 

I take it the operating system you are using is Vista.

 

yes vista home premium . i read some where else that i should try a friends pc cause they have old pc so i could try using there cable slot

 

when u say standby its when the time is displayed on front? then when it updates i notice the numbers count up 1 2 3 etc but only get to 5 b4 error etc...

 

yep, find someone with xp & you should`nt have any problems.

 

Thats my advice mate, i tried for about 2 months and various forums to get a box flashed using Vista and the usb cable and it just did'nt work i ended up buying an old £60 laptop of fleabay that had the null modem connection on the back then put XP on it and never had a problem since.

 

will try today and let u know

 

UPDATED using m8s comp but when i goto sky sports 1 it just keeps updating 300% to no avail any ideas

 

Have you got the EMU turned on, menu, press 1570 on the remote and check its turned on if it is press OK to set the default key, exit out and see what happens.

 

emu is turned on but still updates too 300%

 

lol i didnt think i would have to press ok on set default key but just turn emu on only lol all is working. Thanxs for the help u lot much appreciated

 

Glad you got it sorted mate.
