Hi.. I am also having some problems! I have The Box Super and eventually today got the correct cables (I hope, USB to Serial and Null Modem)). However every time I try to update it remains at 0% and I get the message Flash Update Fail!!! Any advice appreciated! Thanks

 

Hi Scouser, Des, Celtic and the usual geniuses...

Just got back from a Christmas break and, although my genuine 'The Box Super' is *seemingly* working fine and auto-updating on 8.02e (29/11/08) in Manchester area, I find that there is a later firmware called 8.04e (24/12/08). Trouble is, I can't find out what it is supposed to fix. Is there are changelog for it anywhere? Will I be needing to flash again? I've come over all confused, thanks lads.

Happy new year BTW.

 

macnaxos, i have answered your other post. The easiest thing to do is to get to a pc with xp and a serial port and just use the null modem cable, the usb can be quite confusing.

 

hi guys litle help please ive got null cables to update my super but the cable fits my box but not y laptop its a feale to ale which i need but the ale has to many teeth on it

 

You can get a usb adaptor but it gets much more complicated. If you can get access to desktop pc with xp on it you will find it much easier to flash.

 

evastar got 1 nice thanks

 

Got pc with xp on it or got usb adaptor?

Let us know how you get on.

 

Thanks but have tried this and still get the it stuck at 0% and no move to download. Spent three hours and got totally frustrated last night trying all!!!

 

You used des's guide?

Absolutely! To the letter!

 

I don't know much about sv3, are you using a usb or just a null modem cable? And are you on vista or xp?

Edit: Are you sure you have a null modem cable and not just an ordinary rs232?

 

evastar do u have a walk through for puting firewire for the digvox got 1 off my mate,please

 

Look in eamo's in desb's signature further up this page, you will find it in the digivox folder under documentation, called tutorial.

 

well slitheen im i ireland and the fix 8.02 didnt update the c*d*s they had to be put in manually but the fix 8.04 autorolls , so what i would say if yours aint broke dont try and fix,
i have the sv3 myself

 

have you the right cable??
and everything plugged in firmly?

 

Hi, I've got all the right cables now, and got a starview 3 box, but I think I need to change the ports. Unfortunately the disc I have for the USB converter is a bit crap and isn't installed properly, and I don't think I can change the ports while this is the case.
Anybody know what the problem could be? I've been told the port is set at 72 and I need to change it to 1-4

 

Have a look at this guide, the secret is to get the Adaptor assigned to the correct COMM port. >>>>>>>>>>>>

I don't think the thing is installed properly so it doesn't show up. My comp can't find any update drivers for it either or anything to install it, that's why I can't get on device manager
