starview 4 firmware advice needed

hi all my friend just got a box 4 and im just asking what programs i need to put onto it to get it up and running i know where to get the files from but just abit uncertan which ones to use ( dont want to load wrong ones ) any help apprecated also i have the box super and was just about to buy the box 4 and noticed version 5 has come out and the website i was goin to buy it from no longer have version 4 so if anyone know a good site to use ( no clones wanted ) that sell the starview 4 or recomend a diffrent box ive only ever dealt with starview so dont know which boxes are good i only want to spend about 90 pound cheers

 

as far as i know from the forum there is no starview 5(just starview 4 usb). starviews are ok but it seems support is limited to starview 4(you do have to be carefull flashing starview4 usb,as the box can be bricked and then will need jtagging)you can get the correct firmware and loader by clicking on the link in my signature). if your worried get a max 232 interface,cost about £15 in maplins(this allows you to flash your box using a 9 pin null modem cable instead of the usb route)it involves opening the box and unplugging the connection to the usb socket at the rear of your box and plugging in the max232 interface in to the now empty usb connection. you now can flash as with an older starview. if you are looking for a good box with great support you could try arnet kryptview.

 

its ok ive done it now i loaded v1.12 on to it and seems to be working fine

 

Hi all,ive got the starview 4 usb today,and then downloaded file on to usb,then put usb to back of box,got to "confirm data restore"highlighted yes then ok,but then downloading as just frozen and as not moved for 5 minutes it says"dont interruped unit power while downloading or rebooting as it may seriously damage your box!help lads please what have i done wrong and what should be my next step thanks.

 

mine froze aswell but got sick of waiting and just turned off then turned back on and it seams to be working fine

 

yes but mine as downloaded nothing,and when i tried doing the same thing happened again!

 

what version firmware do you have on your usb?

 

v1.12.bin

 

ok,correct file,have you removed usb from box? are there any numbers on the display when you switch on box after removing usb?

 

only 4 dashes - - - -

 

ok, just to make sure you are loading correctly are you following these instructions? - connect the USB stick to the SV4, turn the box on, press the HDD button on the remote, on the screen you will see the BIN file you put on,using the remote, highlight the file and then press OK, on the screen, it will tell you its updating and dont remove the USB.

 

check for a silver heatsink under vents if it is there it is clone and will not take v1.12=clone killer

 

ave checked its black.

 

when i turn sv4 on the languages appear!why do you press the hdd button?

 

someone,anyone help, just downloaded firmware to sv4 box and screen as gone blank also 8882 apears on the box what can i do!

 

hi, you will need a max 232 adaptor to fix this error
Fix For Error 8882
Use loader GTROM-V25 loader
1. Connect RS232 Null Modem cable between PC & Max 232 Adaptor
2. Open the lid of your sv4 and look directly behind the USB you will see a 4 Pin connector
Looking at this from front view pin 1 = vcc+ Pin2 =TX Pin 3 = RX Pin 4= Ground
3. Using your max232 Adaptor connect the Wires to corosponding pins Vcc to vcc Tx to Tx Rx to Rx Ground To Ground
4. Select Serial port COM 1 Etc Baud Rate Fixed As 115200.
5. Browse the BIN file to download and select File Type
6. Click "DOWNLOAD" first and turn the receiver power OFF/ON to download
7. After download completed ,wait another 30 seconds more until rebooting finished.
I hope this will get you all out of this misery of error8882 Attached is the loader and bin file
Needed
8. if Error Appears check the reason an try againor follow the reason displayed

 

if you have recently purchased the box you really should return to supplier for a replacement or refund as opening your box will void any warranty!!!!

 

Switch box off all together 2.Switch box back on 3.select English in languages 4.Switch box off again make sure it is turned off from the switch on the back of the box 5.Switch box back on 6.1570 turn on emu 7.Do network scan for your provider then exit all the way out until you come to your channels.Hope this does the trick.

 

once flashing any image other than fta to ur box ur warranty is void also
