    I hope someone can help me PLZ.
    I bought a genuine starview 3 box a week ago (25x7 vents). Hav managed to connect it to my pc through the com port. I have managed to change the API version of the software on the box to various ones such as GTRom_Super705e and 601e, i have checked this in system info and it has worked fine. BUT when i come to use GTRomV4.0 and run the software and specify the various api files and click on download, i get a pop up window showing zero progress, i have left it for 10, 20 and 30 mins and nothing happens.
    Eventually when i click on download button and turn the power ON to the box i get a pop up window
    Otherwise i get no message when the power is on to the box and the download button has been pressed.
    The system info is API ver:7.05e, Boot ver:8.0 10.Apr.2008.
    The nul cable and the port setting must be ok if i can change the API version of the software.

    Any help greatly appreciated..

    Because none of the solutions to this problem seem to work, it seems people had various solutions to the problem such as making sure the correct com port was selected, using a null modem cable and not a RS323 cable or deselecting FIFO check box in properties for the COM port. BUT not of this stuff worked for me...

    Maybe because in your first post you state you are using Gtrom V4.00. All firmwares for the SV3 are a unified firmware/loader so no need for Gtromloader, as already stated.

    BTW moggser is responding to the other poster.

    hi all, new to this. just a quick question if anyone could help me it would be relly appreciated. I got the box super and flashed it as instructions. it works alright but i had to manually put the code in nagravision once it finished scan. it just stayed on data been updated 0%. does that mean the autoroll not working.so if the codes get changed will i have to key code in everytime or is there something else i can do to get it working. the system info says API 7.09e_E BOOT VER 8.0
    17 JUNE 2008 .Thanks in advance.

    you wont have to manually enter keys.
    do this & you`ll be ok
    menu > 1570
    set default key, exit to s*y sports & let it update
    just make sure the emu is on.

    actually took the box and tried it in my parents house and it updated no problem. but it will only work in my house if i manually put the code in through nagravision. anyone know the story with that.the thing is i already have starview 2 the box in my house and it updates fine.no problems with it so why wont the super box update in my house but will in my parents. its a bit of a weird one. anyone have any ideas. located in citywest dublin. parents in rathfarnham dublin.

    sometimes you need to do the default key a couple of times,try it till you see the 0% moving up sometimes it can go as far as 1200% even further.
