1. how do i find out what firmware i have on my box, can i see this on screen by pressing a special code? Press Menu > System Information and tell us what the API is please 2 is this the latest firmware? STARVIEW_H20070607_400eE_api.bin (on ekos file share site) is it true if you have this firmware you wont have to keep typin in update codes? You will need version 4.00 firmware for GENUINES found in "Starvi*w" firmware folder. You will need version 2.57_FIXED firmware for CLONES found in "Starvi*w" firmware folder. You will need to know if you have a clone or genuine Count the vents on top 18x7 = Clone 25x7 = Genuine 13x7 = 1st Generation Also looking from the front Scart to the left = Clone Scart to the right = Genuine Also you can go here to see some pics http://www.freewebs.com/dooby2oon 3 when updating firmware does the starview box need to plugged and swithed on at a channel or on standby or OFF? Connect your box and PC with a Null modem cable and switch on the cable box and put it on STANDBY. (The Starview does not need to be connected to TV to update it with GTROM)
api ver 2.57e_E bootversion 2.0 16 Aug 2006 so does this mean mines a clone if so do clones always have to be updated with the lastest codes? and genuines dont have to be updated as long as they have latest firmware?
Both clones nad genuines auto roll codes when the correct firmware is installed Have you a clone or genuine box? count the vents and look at the pics
Hi. I've been following your advice on this thread but am a little stuck. I can confirm I have a genuine starview box. I have the cable as recommended and also purchased the USB convertor for it. I started as suggested with the connecting cables first with box off etc and then start on standby. I have downloaded the files as advised. but on uploading them I encountered two problems. In the GTRom Loader box I got a serial connect error . I changed the COM setting from Com1 to Com 3. That seem to work as when I hit down load it began but the 2nd error I got was flash card reader error. Can you assist? any advice or steer would be great. I'm by no means any kind of techie but hope I can follow.
