Thanks guys. Already had those codes in but pressed 'Store' again anyway and channels reappeared. Dunno why or how but whatever works, eh? Never happened me before. Cheers for the help.

 

Interesting. I must try that tonight, upset the wife.

 

tried that it didn't work.

 

Hi Guys
This is my first post I'm going to update my starview box to version 4.0,just a quick question when I flash the box do I leave it on standby when it's connected to the pc or leave it switched off

Regards

Milport

 

yes you do leave it on standby but are you sure you have a genuine box

 

i am on t/w and pick it up on 475000

 

looking at a list i have its saying thease freq
UK FOOD 627.000 UK FOOD +1 347.000 but i am not realy interested in thease channels leave it to the wife lol

 

ARE THE CODES GONE DOWN IN DUBLIN

 

I suggest everybody with a genuine box flash it with v4.00e, cause these boxes are still working.

 

yes i have heard good reports about the v4 on genuine boxes i have a clone on old 257 with no prob for a month now

 

fura
had a look round codes do seem fine at mo m8 are you recieving any channels ? go steady with the capitals please

 

Are you using the new 2.57 au or the original version?

 

just reflashed my box with 257 and all I get is a flashing light across what should be the Channel numbers and remote does not respond

 

Sounds like a bad flash try this fix courtesy of Fergus

If you have a Bad Flash with software have a Read of This might help

If you have a bad flash, switch it off then on at the back & make sure its on standby.
Then Flash as normal. This also applies to flashing (up & downloading) the channel data file.
If for some reason you cannot flash and have set and checked everything else such as ports and connections,
then you should switch off at the back wait a moment then on again. Then try to flash again.

If for some reason it won't go into standby and you see a constant moving green line.
you may want to wait to see if it goes into standby or switches on eventually or re-flash from this state
though it may not work. Some users have reported that flashing an older firmware 1st that was working,
then trying again may help. If your flash has failed or corrupted try again but 1st flash back the firmware
that was on before your failed flash. Re download the firmware just in case you had a corrupted file then try again.
If you do flash from the moving green line state at boot, you will see the % increase on the GTRom loader
software but not on the Starview. Toward the end of the flash you'll see a Flash Burning message in GTRom.
Make sure you wait until all is finished and you see the Download complete pop up message in GTRom.

Another method you can use to recover from a bad flash, eg. the box won't boot to standby and is stuck
in pre standby, either after about 3 or 4 moving green lines the box sticks with the green line not moving
at all or it keeps moving forever. If the box will NOT RE-FLASH as normal from on or standby, try this but it
may take a few goes to work.

Connect the box to the pc with your cable but switch it off at the back. Load the correct
firmware bin file into GTRom & set it to the correct com port, and select App file only then hit Download.
Only then switch on at the back to power on the box. It may take a few sec. so wait at least 30 sec.
(If it doesn't work 1st time try also waiting a couple of sec. to switch on after pressing download in the loader.) It may take more than 1 try to work, but eventually you'll see the loader kick in and the % bar increase. You won't see the % on the Starview though. Only green lines moving left to right. Towards the end of the flash you'll see a message in GTRom saying FLASH BURNING. Then it will reach 100% and wait for the download complete pop up box to appear & the box will reboot back to factory setup. You will have lost any channel data previously on the box & will need to rescan & switch on EMU and set the box up from scratch.

If you don't know the state of the box switch it on see what happens see if there already has been a channel
scan done before-meaning there are channels on it working or not. If so tune to an unencrypted channel as above
then standby then re-flash.

 

hi all back agian after hols by this thread has grown again....
raynmg the link to the firmware's is the 2.57 the newish auto update one ????

 

thanks sc0user i will try that

 

Guys,

Sorry to bust yer chops on this one, but I honestly cannot flash my box.The reason I am flashing with 257 is that it's a new box but it's a clone. I flashed a box with 300 (clone) and it burnt out and since then I can't flash any other box.

Could the 300 have burnt my lead out? I know that sounds stupid but I'm not a hardware head.

Welcome back. Yep its out about a month Sunrise wrote it and it does what it says on the box. All clones can autoroll once again

 

No your lead is not burnt out. Try and download a fresh version of both the gtloader and the new 2.57au api. Maybe one of those has become corrupted.
