    Hope someone might be able to help.

    Have just attempted my first "flash" of starview the box and although download was complete when i switched the box back on i just get a continuous green lines going left to right across the display on the box. I have tried re flashing and looking around the forums for advice but am at a loss to how I can get at back working.

    Any advice appreciated. (Not very technically minded im afraid!)

    which version did you use. flash again this way:

    turn it off at the back, press download in gt_rom then switch it on.

    it may fail a few times but eventually will work with a few tries.

    have a look here http://eko.4shared.com

    and try the latest 4.57 and see if it works

    make sure app file only is ticked or try gt_rom 4.00

    yes. use an old version first then try a new one.

    ireland=4.50

    uk=4.51

    then try 4.57.
