    Hi,

    What updates are contained in the 400_api versus the 300_api?

    I updated to 300 a while ago because I couldnt get the v400 to work. Just wondering is there much of a difference to warrant updating again?

    Thanks,
    Mal

    300 was a right pain as it was giving major problems,vers 4.00 is the one for original starviews or u can use 257ee fixed for original and clones what problem did u have with v.4?

    The v400 api from this link: http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/493446
    didn't work for me the 2 or 3 times I tried it. It kept giving me the knightrider (lights scrolling horizontally) error on my starview box. Bad flash I know.
    I got the one from Eamos FTA Site yesterday and that worked fine.
    Thanks for the reply,
    Mal

    Hi Guys,
    I have an original starview for about one and a half years operating on ver257 and have always input the codes. I could not upgrade to autoroll versions as I did not have a com port on my new P.C.

    Just received a usb to null modem cable adaptor this morning and I am going to install ver 4.

    My question is before I install ver4 do I have to do a factory re-set or similar before installing or will it just automatically overwrite / update the old ver257.

    Its probably just a stupid question but its in my nature to ask before I attempt anything.

    Cheers guys,
    Garry

    No you do not need to - just go ahead and flash the firmware V.400 on to the box - if you need any thing you will find it in Eamo's Library under Fergus's posts above.

    no need to do a factory reset.
    it will overwrite the existing firmware.
    just make sure its a genuine b0x for the _400eE_ firmware.

    Hi guys,I have tried to flash my starview for the last two hours but to no avail. I have downloaded the ver4 firmware, ver4 gtrom loader and the usb to serial adapter drivers.

    when I try to download the serial port is set to com1, I have tried 2 3 and 4 but to no avail.I only have a usb connection on my P.C. but it does not seem to pick it up

    the message I get is " cannot open serial port " and last error " system cannot find the file specified"

    I feel a bit frazzled now so any help would be appreciated.

    Garry

    Thaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaank you, I cannot believe it was that easy when you know what to do. I cannot ever repay you. The only downside is I wont have to be on this website as often now. Thanks again.
