starview box

ok i presume its starview 1(original)your flashing?

 

it says the box on it and it looks different from my original box. When i got into the system info it also said the box

 

funny you had original firmware on it,have you the loader and the usb-serial cable all set to com2?

 

i do indeed.

 

then it must be a problem with your cable double check again in the starview help folder under my pic.

 

Ive gone through it a few times cant see anything im doing wrong. Is there only 1 version of the romloader

 

Got ta hit the bed guys early start tomorrow. thanks very much for your patience and help ill let you know how i get on. thanks again

 

The v.400 is for the 4.50 & 4.51 firmw@re
If you are flashing with 4.54 firmw@re use the v.4.03

These are for "St*rview the b0x" only.

 

if you have the right cable and have the correct gtrom it should work. if you're version is 4.52 or newer you need gtrom 4.03 otherwise 4.00. what firmware are you trying to use?

 

Further to your question last night these are the cables and adaptors i bought.

1 x Dynamode USB 2.0 to 9 pin Serial RS-232 RS232 Adapter Convertor (USB-SERIAL1 x Serial
RS232 Null Modem Cable - DB9F to F - 2m (SL-901-2)

 

if it's db9f to db9f then it's right.

 

i have pasted the spec on so you can see because dont know for sure it is the one your talkSerial RS232 Null Modem Cable - DB9F to F - 2 Metres

Null modem cables are used to transfer data between machines.

Occasionally used for data transfer between two PC's (use Windows Direct Cable Connection software or LapLink) but more commonly now, used to update Satellite/Cable Receivers from your PC (please check your instructions to make sure this is the correct cable). Suitable for Dreambox, Technomate, Humax, EchoStar, Manhattan and may more.

High quality cable with moulded ends, with thumb screw fasteners, for secure easy connecting.

Connections:
pin 2 ...to... pin 3
pin 3 ...to... pin 2
pin 4 ...to... pin 6
pin 5 ...to... pin 5
pin 6 ...to... pin 4
pin 7 ...to... pin 8
pin 8 ...to... pin 7
ing about.

 

Yes its a null modem cable with handshaking. Try another Comm Port as Comm 1 may already be in use. Or even better try it from another pc, preferably a standalone and take the adapter out of the equation entirely.

 

so got the right cable and connector, got a genuine starview box, using GTrom Loader V4.00 and Cyptstar v1.4 core 400, following pot instructions and download instructions to a t, so where am i going wrong?

 

ok then it's either a driver or port problem.

right click my computer and pick properties. then hardware then device manager. go to ports and see which port it's listed as.

 

at work at the moment, but when i installed the driver i came up port five, but the gtrom only goes to four so i changed the port number, following the instructions on the media file.

 

He done that at the out set.

 

Yes but the instructions I linked you to said select a port between 1 and 4, however port 1 may be already in use on your PC. I would still recommend trying it on another PC though.

What OS are you currently running?

 

Vista laptop

 

then it should be working.

@sc0user i'm not having problems with that box super lately for the last 2 weeks (thank god), but why did they put in new tuners and cause all these problems in the first place.

edit: vista does have problems with flashing sometimes.
