Boot ver ;7.00

thanks for help

 

Ok , is its a Starvi*w 1 or "THE B0X" (Starvi*w 2)

Cos they all take differetn firmware

If its a SV 1

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 you can go here to see some pics

25 X 7

 

Ok , I take it you havent got "THE B0X"

Try press MENU then 1570 , Do this slowly


You will need a null modem cable DB9F to DB9F.

If your pc does not have a serial port you will need a USB to serial port adapter to use in conjunction with the null modem cable.

USB Adapter info

These two cable links are only for reference as they can be purchased alot cheaper on fleabay.

All firmware/loader can be found in the link at the end of my post marked Eamos Library.

You will need the GTromloader, (Starvi*w Software Uploader), found in the Starvi*w software folder of the link.

You will need version 4.00 firmware for GENUINES found in "Starvi*w" firmware folder.

And please download the Starvi*w PDF guide,(this will give you step by step instructions on how to do everything.This can be found in the Starvi*w Documentation folder in the link.

 

I have to an errand Celtic71,,back early evening your help is much appreciated....rob

Updating Firmware

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)

Open GTROM Loader software make sure that you set the correct COM PORT
that matches the one that is being used

Make sure App file only is selected, then click Bin File & browse to the firmware where you downloaded it to on your PC.

Run the GTROM loader by pressing Download and you will see the % progress increase
then Download completed message on your PC.
Wait until you see the DOWNLOAD COMPLETE pop up on your PC before
removing the NULL MODEM CABLE. The Starview will then reboot

Turn off and turn back on , then plug your tv cable and scart back in

Celtic thank you for all the info you have provided.

In similar shoes to sarah.

Product : starview the box
Version : 4.54e
Location : Dublin

When flashing to 4.50 (is 4.54e UK?) will this stop the need for codes?
Or will i have to update with the new codes released today for N*L Ireland.

Just got two boxes delivered today so no experience with starview before this.
