hi i have a problem when i install the new flash the gt rom loader says
"can not open serial port" then " the system can not find the file specified" wat shall i do can any one help please

 

Please edit and remove your emial address as its against forum rules .

If you go to My Computer and look in Device manager and see which port you are using , try COM1 , COM2 AND COM3

 

sorry i am suing com port 3 but it still dose not work please help me

 

Do as Celt has said and edit out your email addy on your first post please.

Download the Starview Guide from the link at the end of my post called Eamos FTA Library this will show you how to flash your Starview.

 

Have you tried all the COM ports ?

Can you access a different PC

 

yes i have and no i cant access another comouter

 

OK Let's find out which port you PC is using.
Click Start/Control Panel. Here it will be easier to swich to classic view if you haven't already done so in the past. Then System/hardware/Device manager. Scroll down to Ports then expand the menu by clicking the + button next to it. Your communication ports will be shown there. Usually it's com port 1.

BTW what type of cable are you using?

 

im using a usb to null cable modem

 

The most common issue when installing the USB adapter and driver is selecting the correct port for your map software to recognize.

You must make sure your particular software is looking on the correct port for it to transfer any data.

To see which port your USB adapter is connected to, connect your USB adapter and follow the following instructions:

1. Go to the Start Menu
2. Right click on "My Computer"
3. Select "Properties"
4. Click on the "Hardware" tab
5. Click on "Device Manager"
6. Click the + sign next to "Ports (COM & LPT)"
7. One of the listed ports should indicate which port your USB adapter is connected to (e.g. COM1, COM2, COM3, etc.)
8. Go back to your map software program that you use to transfer data and make sure it is looking at the correct port.
9. You should be able to transfer data once the correct port is selected

Good advice pippin, but another cause can simply be that they have a USB to serial adapter cable, when they require a USB to serial port adapter. Similar to this one:

9 out of 10 times this is the case.

 

Quite right hence the need to check in device manager.

 

thank you so much for all of your help and it works now i can finally update my starview box could any 1 please tell me where to get the latest update from
