Try _400eE_api.bin for genuine SV.

 

As Noely said , you need 4.00eE for genuine b0x and make sure you have it on STANDBY

 

is the same....is not working....it drives me crazy

 

when you open the GTRom, make sure you click on bin file, then
select _400eE_api.bin

 

thats what i do...i tried million times...is something wrong....maybe is a port issue or usb converter...what can i do in this case?....help pleaseeeeeeeee

 

check to see if you are using the right port on your pc.

 

also, make sure your b0x is on STANDBY

 

what you mean on standby?....i should not press the on button in the back?

 

are you using st*rview 1 or st*rview the b0x?

 

i am using 1

 

if you have the b0x connected to your TV, disconnect it.
you dont have to connect it to your TV while updating.
to put it on STANDBY press the RED button on the top left hand side of your remote.

 

i tried but still wont work

 

you might already have the firmware on the b0x.
Try this :
go to s*y spo*ts 1
press MENU
then 1570
go to "set default key" press ok.
look down & make sure your EMU is on.
EXIT EXIT EXIT back to s*y sp*rts 1
let it update, & if it updates then you are ok.

 

how can i check the firmware?

 

Try what i said above, & if it updates then you have the firmware.

 

i will try...but now i have to go to work...i let you know after i come home if works....thanks very much for your help

 

no problem, hope it works for you.

 

Click on menu/system information. That will tell you what firmware is installed on your box. What cable region are you in?

It is not necessary to put the box on standby to reflash it although it is recommended. nor do you need to disconnect it from your TV.

If you are using a serial adapter for a USB port your laptop or PC will tell you if it is working or not.

Make sure the correct port is selected in GTRom if in doubt try another until it works.
