Hi, any help will be much appreciated!!!!! I received my Starview 3 (The Box Super) on Tuesday. It's a 100% geniune (checked off this forum) the API version is 6.00e_E Boot Version 8.0. I Spent Wednesday reading this forum on flashing/updating the firmware. I downloaded all the Gtrom files 4, 6, 7, 8 (to be on the safe side) and the bin file for Gtrom4. I then realized i needed the USB-RS232 cable as i have a newer computer. The Starview box came with a Null Modem Cable (i think). I Recieved the cable on Wednesday and followed forum guide lines on flashing my box. This is were the problems started, i kept getting error code "Cant open serial port", on coms 1-4 after pressing the download button. I then followed the guide on changing the com ports (in device manager) so they match. After changing port to com 1 i was then able to press the download button and the percentage bar would show but it would stick on 0% for about 15 seconds and then a box would appear saying "Flash Update Fail". I have tried all the gtrom versions and i does the same thing. The 1 test i have done is by disconnecting the null modem cable from the starview and repeating the download proceedure and it does the same thing as above. When i plug the Null back into the box an egg timer flashes (over the mouse cursor) for a couple of seconds!!! Any help with this would great guys as i am inching to get this working in all its glory!!!! Thanks......V
quick answer as i have to go out,did you check to see if the box picked up any channels as it looks like it was preflashed
Hi, thanks for the quick response! Yes when i first got it I scanned for *tl (thats who im with) but it did'nt pick any channels. I then scanned TW and it picked up about 330 and found all the channels i was after but i couldnt view them as they had the $ sign (is that scrabbled by any chance?). The channels i could watch were the normal freeview ones. hope this helps V
Hi, yes i can enter the hidden menu using 1570, and the emu is turned on. I tried putting some codes in but they were older ones and it is pretty tuff to find the latest ones so i sacked that idea! cheers
Go to "set default key" in the CAS menu & press ok. Exit to s*y sports & let it update. You should get all your channels back.
Bloody ell.............it worked.........a wise man once said "If you dont know waht your doing..........ask some that does"!!!!!! Marvellous! Enjoy your weekend coz I Will!!!!!!!!! Thanks alot! V
