StarView 3 - the BOX Super - 0% Update

using usb to serial adaptor and null modem cable

 

He's in another thread malci, here: http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/731262

 

Well that is your problem, the USB Adaptor has not been assigned correctly, is there no chance of getting the box to a friends standalone PC, that has the correct 9 pin serial port, and you will not have any problem. But in the meantime, go to the link marked Starview in the 2nd line at the bottom of my post and look down to the part on assigning the correct COMM port to the Adaptor, you will also need drivers, so I presume that you did get a disk with the Adaptor.

 

Hey Malci. i downloaded the driver from the manufacturers website and reasigned it to com 1. made sure was using com 1 for the firmware updater as well and still the error

 

Well then I would definately go for the first option, have you ever used the NULL MODEM lead to flash a box before? sorry to go on - but they do need to be eliminated these points, but I honestly would go with the first option.

 

both cables were purchased today and i've never updated teh box since i bought it

 

Wel I would go with my first option, in the meantime I will have a look around for some information, is possible.

 

Hi Malci
Still no luck with moving off the 0% - have tried it on many different channels but no luck

Any help welcome as tv for christmas will be needed
Thanks

And you definately have the UK fix on it con?, then try turning it off and back on, go to the God channel try that and flick to another - and then try turning off key Emu, exit out to see the scrambled message, then go back in and press Set default key and turn Emu back on, see if that kicks in.

 

Hi Malci,

I have the UK update on it as flashed it successfully but the 0% update never worked. I was sent the codes this am and this has worked for the moment anyway. I have been told this will last and will update automatically so fingers crossed.

I will try the GOD channel
Thanks

It most likely will on the next roll, hopefully - and when that hapens, it will sort it out one way or the other, that's for sure.

 

Thanks you have been a great help so appreciate that

Not a problem, your welcome, best of luck.

 

Hey malci thanks alot man.
I'll give that update a try tomorrow but i'll have to bring the box into work 'cause none of my PCs have a serial connector and is almost imposible to buy a usb to serial cable this days.I know you can get it online, but i won't do it just yet.

 

Not a problem, your welcome, so good luck.

 

could anybody advise me how to connect a Starview 3 to a home cinema system
cheers
