you require GTRom v4.00 for starview 1 boxes ...

 

thank you very much. sorry to sound stupid but do i need to reset to factory settings before i load the firmwire

 

You will need to put CryptStar-v1.4-GenuineOnly firmware on your S******w 1 box if you want it to auto update.

To update your box 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.

All firmware/loader can be found here http://eko.4shared.com/

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

Now select the firmware CryptStar-1.4 for your genuine S******w 1 box which can be found in the 'firmware' folder.

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 Starvi*w will then reboot

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


* You should download the Starview PDF guide 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.

Oh sorry I thought you said you had a genuine box,ok just put CryptStar-v1.4-Core257 on it instead

No,just connect up the box and follow the above instructions and you should be fine

Press the 'menu' button-enter 1570 look down the list it brings up and check that 'Key EMU' is ON if it's OFF go down to it and press 'OK' on it to turn it on.

Also check the incoming cable is in the "Cable Input" socket and your scart is connected in the TV socket at the back of the SV
