Well if its not a clone it sounds like you are one of the first to brick a genuine box, it can happen if the firmware you loaded to it had become corrupted. Basically it is the bootloader gone in the box and it cannot boot. So I am assuming that because you hear this clicking noise there are no lights showing up on the Starview front display panel either.

If this is the case you will need to Jtag it either yourself or you can ask Eamo or Fergus.

 

Ryan I have been listening to that album not too bad.

 

hi ferg c***** codes have been changing occasionally drew has diserpered he was selling some boxes to my knowlage 2 people are still waiting on them cannot remember if you was still here when he got suspended but he could have been back on the 29th of last month no sign of him

 

Thanks, been meaning to order cheap pc-case of em anyway Checked peats as well, but they only had usb-serial adapters... no null modems.

Doubt if dixons carry them, but will check em tomorrow....... other than that think i'm out of options for shops that could sell me one on the spot.

 

No problem.

You could ask Celtic71 who is online at the moment he/she might know where to get you one quite quickly.

 

lol I'm mulit-tasking while Im waiting on my 3 mins to be up lol got carried away and done some housework

 

scouser there is lights on the front of it, it says on an sometimes it says 0003!... i just dont no wat the problem is!

 

yeah i am trying to get the film but the share site is full and won't let me download until someone else is done.

 

Well if there is life in it as in lights on the front panel it sound like a bad flash and does not require jtag fix.

Try this if you have not tried it already. 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.

 

Celt I have already given him this link. Leslies link must be no good lol . I was wondering did you have any spares?

hi guys
I'm going to flash friends sv tonight, have never done one. Have done replays. got the instructions on 'how to' from scouser but thats for clone boxes are the instructions for genuine ones different. i've no idea which box they have till they arrive. Also I have the firmware 257e and V4 and the gtrom so I know i've to put one or the other on depending on the box but what is this jag file and do i need to do that and also I've seen something about area specific channel files, do i have to do that also and if i do where would i find them and how do i do it. I could tell you the inside out of replays and eurovoxes but i've never even seen a starview so I need all the help I can get. thanks

 

got the eurovox max 2007 today but cant set it up
