STARVIEW UPDATING FIRMWARE - NO CODE BEGGING HERE

does a pop up box come to say complete?what does your tv screen say after the flash?

 

I think I have found out what the problem is. Maplin have given me the wrong cable (L68BT) when it should have been (L71BT). Can anyone confirm if this would cuase a problem?

 

yes it will you need a null modem cable not an rs232 cable which they have given you bring it back and change it

 

Hi there,

I have the thebox super starview 3 box, it keeps rebooting every so often and does this on a daily basis, I want to flash it with new firmware, new to this so dont have a clue, done some reading on here but I am even more confused now.

what do I need to download to do this, I tried the gtrom thingy but it did not work?

I have API ver 6.00e_E

boot version 8.0

I have the null modem cable

Please help

 

i read this on another forum were they were speaking about this topic one person done this and it solved the problem and so far it has worked for me go into user setup in the menu go to modulator and set it to pal1 then exit

that is supposed to fix the problem

 

anyone help me? could it be the cable I bought off ebay?

 

you can try here mate they should have them

just click on HERE

 

same as what I got tbh, I have the gtrom thingy but where do I get the bin file?

do I have to alter any settings through the device manager baud rate etc etc?

 

its an all in one loader no need for a bin file what are you trying to flash the box with 705.e?

 

what firmware are you looking for is it the V7.05 if so that is combined loader firmware

 

if you really want to update use the all in one on eamo's library but to be honest i have a super as well with the same problem though not as often and the advice i was given was that the update would not make a difference...that its a problem starview are working on.

I try the all in one and all I get is connection failed?

 

use 1 to 4 comport

 

sorry the message is ' flash update failed ' ?

 

go to the device manager and check your comport settings if needed choose com 1 to 4 only then you will know which port to choose

 

are you on a lappy or a computer?are you using a usb adaptor?

 

tried the other ports 2,3,4 but unable to connect straight away with them, must be something to do with the settings on the pc com port somehow, it will not allow me to go into advanced through the device manager?

my set up on the pc for the com port is;

bits per second; 115200

data bits; 8

parity; none

stop bits; 1

flow control; none

does this sound right?

 

where did you buy the cable from was it maplins if so do you still have the code off it also did you ever flash with this cable as yet ?????
