Starview- Flashed with wrong s/w

Hi guys, Im new to this site so would like to say a big hello to everyone!
I have a problem with my genuine starview box, my mate had took it off me when the codes stopped appearing to update the software.
Now when I power it up I just get a logo on the screen which says "the box". The box will not respond to any buttons on the unit or the remote control.
I have searched the internet and this site (the best) and tried to update the firmware to the newest version with no joy, just keep getting download failed.
I have a feeling my mate has put the wrong firmware on the box.
Any ideas how I can get this back on??? thanks in advance

 

First go to page 1 of this thread and find out if you have a genuine or clone box. You will then find the correct firmware to use http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/663923

Using the correct firmware use the bad flash method here http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/531363#3215755

 

nice one scouser ill give that a try when I get in, thanks for the quick response!!

 

You're welcome any problems just shout. Although this should sort it for you, just don't let your friend at it

 

I know i have learned my lesson, he thinks he's an expert with things like this, obviously far from it lol. Thanks

 

Ha ha , one of my fav motto's ...

"If you want anything done , do it yourself " !

 

Tried this last night and it worked!!! All I would say to anyone trying the same thing is to be patient[/b. I must of tried it about 10 times. I clciked download then turned the box on after one second, this didnt work so I tried two seconds and so on!
I got to 10 seconds and was really tempted to throw it in the bin lol. Tried the last time on 11 seconds and hey presto it worked!
The only slight problem is that iv only got freview channels, but as long as I can watch the footy im happy for now lol
Thanks again for the help, hopefuly I can do someone on a good turn for someone on here in the future!

 

from blank screen Press menu then 1.5.7.0 and go down to key emu flick across to on then exit exit

 

tryabit- I tried that mate but still no joy, the only thing I can think is that I didnt use the newest firmware?? saying that im no expert lol. Think the bin file I used was 259? Does this sound right?? Cheers!

 

Use CryptStar-v1.4-Core257.bin firmw@re I know you say you have a genuine box but this works fine on both.

 

Nice one, ill give that a blast when I get in from work, thanks again for the help

 

But do as said after flash and turn key emu back on. Exit to Sly Sports and let it update. It will work.
