    You will need a null modem cable DB9F to DB9F.

    Null modem info

    http://www.maplin.co.uk/Search.aspx?criteria=L71BT&DOY=2m6

    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

    http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx...t10&doy=search&MenuName=USB to Serial Adaptor

    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, (Starview Software Uploader), found in the Starview software folder of the link.

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

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

    Hi guys

    Just wondering if iam a lost cause. My box was initially scrambled for last 3 days, so i left alone thinking an issue with N** . Now it looks like there is no power even going through it. About 5/6 months ago i flashed my clone box with firmware 257, at the time i remember reading it may fry the cloned boxs. Is this RIP box ?

    Thanks Celtic 71

    It seems dead to me. So jtag seems only option. I would not have equipment to solder, so would you recommend sending my box to a pro to fix ? , i looked uo E&*y and found the service been offered for £20. They also stated they could insert a chip to turn a clone into a genuine box. Is this genuine ?

    So would my box have died because of been flased with 257 ?, or are the clone boxes ultimately doomed.

    Cheers

    Thanks again

    Just to confirm, even if I reflash with the new 2.57 fix. Its still as dead as a dodo.

    If its dead it will need to be jtagged first then flashed with the 2.57_FIXED
