hello, can somebody help me out, i have downloaded the h20070607_400eE_API file and now the starview shows "ON" on the display, i have found out that i should have loaded the 257clone safe file, is there any software out there what would repair the starview because it will still take downloads, the 257 clone safe file will load into the starview but it stays with "ON", on the display but no channels come on the screen or numbers on the display,i would appreciate any help.
if u have 257 fixed proceed with installation as u have to autoscan ur provider to get chs,and emu to on
the screen is blank and the menu does not come up on the screen, i looked at the link you sent and it looks like a clone any ideas how to fix the starview, thank you for your help.
Follow the below for recovering from a bad flash or putting the wrong software. If you have a bad flash, switch it off then on at the back & make sure its on standby. Then Flash as normal. This also applies to flashing (up & downloading) the channel data file. If for some reason you cannot flash and have set and checked everything else such as ports and connections, then you should switch off at the back wait a moment then on again. Then try to flash again. If for some reason it won't go into standby and you see a constant moving green line. you may want to wait to see if it goes into standby or switches on eventually or re-flash from this state though it may not work. Some users have reported that flashing an older firmware 1st that was working, then trying again may help. If your flash has failed or corrupted try again but 1st flash back the firmware that was on before your failed flash. Re download the firmware just in case you had a corrupted file then try again. If you do flash from the moving green line state at boot, you will see the % increase on the GTRom loader software but not on the Starview. Toward the end of the flash you'll see a Flash Burning message in GTRom. Make sure you wait until all is finished and you see the Download complete pop up message in GTRom. Another method you can use to recover from a bad flash, eg. the box won't boot to standby and is stuck in pre standby, either after about 3 or 4 moving green lines the box sticks with the green line not moving at all or it keeps moving forever. If the box will NOT RE-FLASH as normal from on or standby, try this but it may take a few goes to work. Connect the box to the pc with your cable but switch it off at the back. Load the correct firmware bin file into GTRom & set it to the correct com port, and select App file only then hit Download. Only then switch on at the back to power on the box. It may take a few sec. so wait at least 30 sec. (If it doesn't work 1st time try also waiting a couple of sec. to switch on after pressing download in the loader.) It may take more than 1 try to work, but eventually you'll see the loader kick in and the % bar increase. You won't see the % on the Starview though. Only green lines moving left to right. Towards the end of the flash you'll see a message in GTRom saying FLASH BURNING. Then it will reach 100% and wait for the download complete pop up box to appear & the box will reboot back to factory setup. You will have lost any channel data previously on the box & will need to rescan & switch on EMU and set the box up from scratch. If you don't know the state of the box switch it on see what happens see if there already has been a channel scan done before-meaning there are channels on it working or not. If so tune to an unencrypted channel as above then standby then re-flash.
thank you for your reply but now the starview is not taking any downloads, it can go on to stand by, i have tried downloading on standby but nothing happens and when i switch it on, the "ON" letters come on the dispay the g rom download box then says download failed "retry" when i press retry it will not download i have to exit and then retry.i have tried loading the h2007060_400eE what i first put on but nothing happens.
follow the above to the letter, turn the box off at the back, load up the 2.57 file for clones in the GTROM loader, press download on the GTROM, wait about 5 to 10 seconds and then press the on button on the back of the starview, it may take a few attempts to work but it will load up the firmware, stop trying to load the v4 firmware or you will brick your box, this is a clone killer.
i have just had a look on the attack of the clones site and it looks like my starview is not a clone, at first sight the back is the same as a clone box but the circuit board matches up with a first generation starview so why did the 400eE file shut the starview box down when this so called no promblem software did this to my starview.
when i first looked at the attack of the clones sight i only saw the back of the starview, at the time i did not think about scrollng down when i checked again i then realised about the circuit boards now i know it is not a clone is there any other software i can use to restore the starview and try your insructions and also i am very grateful for your help, thank you.
You will need to know if you have a clone or genuine first before flashing Count the vents on top 18x7 = Clone 25x7 = Genuine 13x7 = 1st Generation
thank you for your reply, i have counted the vents on the starview it has 18 vents in one row with a total of 7 rows. do i then try and flash the 257 clone safe software. thanks for the help.
hello,the starview is working ok with the star_view h20060816_257eE api_fixed, file. i would like to thank everybody for there help and advice, without it i would have been up the preverble river without a paddle, thank you.
