Hi Malci,

Will the file you mentioned on your previous message bring back the channels. Based in Dublin, using Starview Box Super USB. Lost all the channels.

Thanks

 

Hi,
Ive followed all instructions and purchased the cables for the st*view 3 box super. gone through all of the protocol but when i get to the last stage i just get a flash update fail message then the box reboots and ld80 appears for a second.
I have all fta cha^^els but nothing else.... any ideas !?!?

 

i ave the same problem all i keep gettin is update failed its driven me bonkers pleaz help ive done my eurovox and its fine i realy dont no wats wrong

 

Scouser, Malci, Des etc... please can you tell me if this is OK:

Whenever I've flashed my own box with new firmware, including the latest fix (8.02e), when I plug the box back in afterwards and connect to the TV, I'm presented with the installation screen and I have to rescan and all the rest of it. But today when I flashed my Uncle's box and my nephew's box, both genuine SV3s bought from the same batch as mine, the flash was seemingly successful for both... and system info showed API ver. 8.02e_E 30/11/2008 on both boxes, yet all the channels were already scanned in as normal on both boxes after the flash. So I set the default key option to see if the auto-update worked, and yes...they both updated theirselves in seconds.

Mine always gives the fresh installation screen after a flash...weird. Will they be OK? I'm worried as it is unusual behaviour from what I know, and I feel responsible for them if anything goes wrong. Thanks, lads.

 

Hi there my friend put the codes in his sv3 in dublin and it worked fine but when he brought it back to newbridge and did factory reset and rescan it started to update reached 240% stopped and got no channels any one got any ideas .Emu is on rescanned on ch---s.

 

different codes for c@orus,he wil need to update his firmware

 

Thanks mate which firmware do i need

 

try THIS

 

Thanks karljd ill try it for him next week and let you know how i get on. Much appreciated

 

no bother let me no

 

No that is nothing to worry about, 90% or so of times, the flashing does tend to clear your channel data, but sometimes it doesn't. This sometimes happens with the Eurovox's, it is not a fault and is nothing to worry about okay, and yes they will be okay.

 

help!!
I have flashed 4 friends SV3 no problem, using download from library now keep getting flash fail on last 2 boxes I have tried.
Using old laptop with correct fitting for 232 so no need for USB connector.
Have tried all the tricks switching on/off etc.
I am based in Dundee Scotland using VM.
managed to update my old SV1 using same setup which makes it even more difficult to explain.
cheers for your great work!!

 

Hi karljd

Tried that out and it worked straight away thanks again.

Regards Gazza

 

That's a relief. Weird that....I've flashed about eight SV3's this year, all from the same batch of stock that family and friends bought from the same supplier, but only with these two was the channel data still intact post flash. I always thought these flashes completely replaced the software on a box....but now I guess they must just update/patch it, as that could surely be the only explanation for the channel data to stay intact. Glad to know it is normal, though, thanks.
