Step By step, How to update Starview 2 (The Box Genuine Only)

Make sure app file only is selected

 

just to make sure i have the right firmware update, it is thebox_h20081204_455eE_api.bin

 

That is the correct Firmware if that is what it says in System Information, then you have flashed correctly. Now just try a few other channels to kickstart the updating, Disney, a film channel, dicovery, even Sky Sports 1/2/3 it is a case of trial and error at the minute, but Sky 2 is the favourite by the reports from Ireland. I can see that you are having a problem with it at the minute, but it will kick in, even try turning the box off and on, and Set Default Key etc, okay.

 

Guy, all I can say is you are legends!!

the god channel was working on it, EWTN. left it on that for a bit and then changed the channel and it updated to 140% and now all channels are working.

thanks a million for all your help. Merry Christmas and a prosperous new year to you all!!

 

Well done, a little patience without the rush works wonders, very pleased for you.

 

Hi Malci, like a lot of people posting lately, I've lost most channels before christmas and am now trying to sort them out again. I'm not clear if I need to update the firm ware or not (I'm in Ireland with a genuine sv3 box).

I've done a factory reset and followed instructions given on several threads here, turned EMU on and updated on sky 2 as recommended - but its updating continuously and channels cant be viewed. Just want tp make sure before I go buying cables and downloading software that it necessary... Thanks for any advice

 

Yes it is time (necessary) for you to update your firmware (flash) your box okay, as all the boxes in Ireland did indeed go down on the 17th/18th Dec 08. and need the latest GTRom 8.04 on to your box to get back up and running, with full A/U. So flash your box with this, if it is a Starview 3 The Box Super. >>>>>>>>>>

And that quote you included was for the Starview 2 The Box, not The Box Super, so be sure what box you do have okay, the link provided is for The Box Super, all the latest Firmware for the boxes cab be found in eamo's FTS Library.

 

Thanks people....great site. both my super box and another older box i have are back up and running now.
Cheers
