Starview Box with The Box Firmware installed, problems!!!!

Hi i was looking for some help with my Starview box. When all the boxes went down the other day i made the mistake of installing fimware for The Box onto my Starview box rather than Starview firmware. As a result when i turn on the box now it gets stuck on the last flashing green line on the box's display and on the TV it just displays a large graphic saying The Box and it doesn't go to the normal menu anymore. To all the lads out there in the know, is there anyway i can get the box back to normal???

 

Have you got a genuine or clone b0x

 

Its Genuine

 

Any help would be much appreciated

 

did u get your box sorted if so how, i have done the same thing from an update via my supplier, no response from him yet so i thought i would ask you

 

Download the correct firmware for your sv and make sure you don't put genuine firmware on a clone box.

Connect your pc to your sv as normal. Make sure the sv is turned off at the power switch on the back.
Now, fire up GT-ROM, select your bin file, click on the download button, wait a second or two, then turn on your sv at the power switch. The download should start. If you're lucky it'll work first time. It it doesn't, try again, from the start. It may take you a few goes, but it should go eventually.

 

cheers will have a go

 

you need the CryptStar-v14-GenuineOnly.zip file if you have a genuine sv

or

STAR_VIEW_H20060816_257eE_api_FIXED.BIN if you have a clone box

 

I did the samething flashed the wrong firmware The box obnto starview 1 carried out the steps above worked for me!

 

thanks all, box sort of working again, recognising stations but not unscrambling them after scan, have done all the usual so i am going to have another go now, thanks again. will be on soon if new download and scan do not work.

 

is EMU set to ON?

 

Hi guys
I never received a lead with my starview but have managed to borrow one, but I haven't got a nine pin female socket on my computer, only a nine pin male! is there any other way of connecting my sv to download firmware?

 

Thats the correct port , the socket is male and the cable should be female

 

I have male sockets on both the computer and the SV but the cable is male to female so I can only connect one end

 

You will need a null modem cable DB9F to DB9F.

Thanks I'll start shopping for one

 

you need a USB serial converter

 

hiya everyone. Ive read through all the comments and replies over the last 2 weeks. But have a dilema not asked on here.

i downloaded the v4.00 to my genuine starview box and then entered the codes and it worked upuntill yesterday. It just froze on me. Tried re-installing the new firmware software and it works up untill i get the bit to autointall channels and it freezes. Tried other software and with that it comes on for a minute and then goes off and then comes back on.

What software do i need to install or is it ready for the skip. Can anyone help. Thanks

 

I have just had my Starview box updated with new software. When NTHell change the codes my box updates all codes except one digit ? Doe anyone know why this is or how I can fix the problem ?

 

Is your SV a clone or original?

Look at the vents on top of the box, and see which of these matches;

First Generation = 13 x 7 vents
Genuine = 25 x 7 vents
Clone = 18 x 7 vents
