STARVIEW PROBLEMS - ***NO CODES HERE ANYMORE***

I agree with everything being said...however...what about those who just don't have the smarts to do it themselves?
I have to update boxes for 4 people, all of whom I work with, (last year as well for those who were actually on this site then) because they just can't comprehend the methods involved.
I accept it's possibly a watch your ass thing or even a threat of legal action, and the forum owners have the right to restrict posts as they see fit...but to me the reaction of some of the members here is a bit OTT and a bit "I'm glad this happened so now you can't be lazy anymore". Why did you all post the codes in the first place if you felt that way?

You can find out how to electrically re-wire your home on the web...so all the info is there...but maybe you don't understand it,or are apprehensive in attempting it... thats why you ask someone to help you out.

Sorry for the rant but once again' think of those who don't understand it like we do!

 

Well said.
And you are right to point out that the forum owners have the right to make decisions over their forum.
But there are two sides.
And you highlighted the other side very, very well.
I won't be rewiring the house either!

 

thats a fair point but how many of the people asking for codes do you really think dont have the smarts...they're smart enough to work a computer to get the codes...and they're smart enough to input the codes...in real terms flashing the box is so simple but its the thought of it that is intimidating not the reality.

 

Vici, just sent you a PM LOL

 

LOL. Very good point, I must agree on that, yes they have the smarts to get on here and ask the question and then change the codes, accepted.
You are completely right...it is the thought of it that causes the issue and the fear (?) of breaking the box too.
I flashed 2 boxes in work today, while the people stood beside me. I showed them how easy it is and that it took 100 seconds to do it.
Honestly...they might as well have been looking into a hedge. Although, I must admit, maybe if I was not able or refused to do it for them they might have to do it themselves.

Anyway, regardless of my stance on this flashing is the way forward and everyone will have to do it now, like it or not.

Rant over.

 

maybe somewhere central like the isle of man des

Karl ....its payback time already....

lets have it in Liverpool and bluetate could pick us all up from the airport?

 

hahahahah brilliant des lol

 

how do i flash my box?

 

#

What kind of box is it???

 

lol only see the funny side to that question now, i mean the st*rview box, its a genuine starview box not sure if its 1 or 2 model

 

You will need the GTRom loader to upload the bin file and to put it on your box and the bin file is called Cryptstar-V1.4-Genuineonly

Bin file is actually calledCryptStar-v1.4-Core400.bin.

The genuine file is the zipped file or RAR file and you will need to unzip it.

These files can be found under senior members' signatures in a file named eko.4shared and click on the starview folder.

for loading image on the box.
4. Click on "BIN File" on GTRom and load the

Best of luck...its really easy don't be uptight about it.


Sorry should have said..you will need a null modem cable (female to female, which is plugged into the back of your starview box and into com port 1 on your PC..not a lap top)
Maplins sell the cable

 

gorry for being so annoying but when i click on the first link i get the following message on the screen

The file link that you requested is not valid.

has it been removed?

 

Sorry about that. Click on the thread link at the end of my post and this brings you into that conversation and then you can scroll down and click on the links in the original thread. this is above the red edit I added about the cable.The Rar one should work though.
Let me know if you cannot get to this thread

Can anyone tell me how to flash my box and where can i get the software from?

I have a digivox

 

have a look in here digivox folder documentation and software and firmware http://www.4shared.com/dir/3042613/f6e3421c/sharing.html

 

ok thanks mill, i guess i'll need to wait untill tomorrow until i can get the null cable, but thanks a mill for your help

 

Look at my post 6 posts up. The digivox files are in the mentioned eko shared files and all you need to do it. Or click on the shared folders link under my sig.
