Starview Box Problems(fixed)***no email posting or banned***

At last someone making sense.

 

It also wipes the loader. The processor in the smaller Starview is of poor quality also. The firmware was written for the large box only and was not designed to be compatible with the other. It was all made very clear on satdownloads but everyone has their own opinion, right or wrong.

 

Hi Richie
What you have done is flashed the box but did not wait till it was finished this is why it wont start
1 Connect up your serial port connector to your pc
2 Then connect the other end to your set top box
3 Turn on your pc then your set top box at the back only you should see a time clock only on the front if you do not see this get remote and press the standby button it till you do see the clock
4Double click the GtRom loder you will see a box hop up now click on the browse button and point it to your bin 257 file click it then open it click on the download button and watch it download when it gets to 100% wait do not disconnect till you see a message telling you it has finnished and you see ON highlighted on you set top box if you need the files go to page 6 and they are at the top 257 is the best file to use in Ireland do not download 260 or your box will be fried you have been warned!!!!!

 

Hi All again found some interesting news for the dead boxes i dont understand it myself but someone out there might be able to put it into laymans terms i hope for us all

Revive Dead Starviews Via Jtag

Build the JTAG as below as the PDF below.

JTAG is in the corner of the PCB and is a 20pin connector (no pins, just pads) layed out in a 2 x 10 array.

Pin1 is the square pin.

Connections are as follows:

PIN9 = TMS
PIN11 = TCK
PIN13 = TDI
PIN15 = TDO
PIN19 = TRST

Ground is all even number pins.

VCC is the end of capacitor C40 nearest the processor.

The box must be powered up to be flashed (don't worry about the lack of display or picture)

Flashing with JKEYS
-------------------

Run JKEYS and Detect. Should come up as:

Device ID: 0x1D405041
Device: STi5518MVB-X

Choose the IRD model as 4900

Flash would be 29LV160
Start : 7FE00000
Bytes 20000

Go into flash programmer.

Erase chip first by clicking on Erase in the top right

Flash chip with a working TSOP image by clicking on the top-right Program button.


Flashing with S*YMax UP (Easier!)
--------------------------------

If you are having problems flashing with JKEYS you can also use S*YUP. This is much easier to use.

Click on 2mb (0x7FE00000)
Click Start
Click Erase
Click Write

Choose your flash image .. sit back and wait

 

All of this is posted on other forums which most people on here are probably members of anyway. When pasting someone else's work it is good to thank the author as recognition for the time taken. Thanks to sunrise for the JTAG fix.

 

Hi310radio
Sorry about that but as you can see from my post i never said it was my own and i would never plagiarism someone else work as my own what i said was
Hi All again found some interesting news for the dead boxes i dont understand it myself but someone out there might be able to put it into laymans terms i hope for us all sorry if i caused any harm or upset to the author sunrise

 

Not having a go mate but when someone writes something that is useful to all it's good to mention the author and no you did not pass it off as yours I know. What sunrise has done is great and should be praised IMO.

 

we are all here to help each other on here
i have helped loads and never get thanked afterwoods but , so what i dont care , i dont do it so i can here someone thank me ...
...

 

I'm sure sunrise didn't do it to get thanks either, i think it's a nice thing to do but obviously not everyone looks at things the same.

 

Hi
Maybe we should be all pulling together as a team instead of bickering among ourselves we are all trying to help others who are not as well up on the ins and outs of things the way we where when we started looking at this site i myself think and this is only my opinion it dosent portray a good image of the site if a few of the members are bickering among themselves lets all say a special thanks to everyone who helped with queries and reply s including ourselves hope this will be ok with everyone and we can all be one happy family again

 

My starview bx died when i tried to load the 257 software onto it.

I may have made an error when doin the download , as it was the first time i tried..
I had the bx on and connected the lead into the laptop and the bx and then set the 257 into the gt loader!!
Then i pressed download!
I did nothin to the bx prior to this!
I had a message on the laptop saying the load was successfull and during the load , there was a bar showing the software was downloding..
There was no message on the bx and no message after the loading.
Now the bx just has a greeen light that travels across the the screen from left to right and the bx does not work .

Can anybody help as i dont know whats wrong???

Hi Tuohy
just to let you know the moderator is not calling you an idiot if you notice it says at the top of the pages no e/mail posting or banned this means you cannot post your e/mail address here on the forum but you can click on the little head on the right hand corner and it will let you pm (private message) someone hope this clears things for you oh and the idiot part is where he changes you e/mail address everyone gets that not just you but there is nothing stopping you from posting a question asking for help but you have to be patient for an answer you will get one

 

FERGUSRB,..i no this,i am also a junior member on here,..did you remember when you were new?,..all you wanted was help!,..ok they might be wrong,..but editing a post i,m anidiot,..instead i,m new sorry,then send a personal message explaining,..very quick to critisis,..but never seen the mod help,....VERY HARSH when ur new,..
might be wrong,..but if i see someone post there email address,..i will advise them,...not make them look small,.....SORRY
