The Box- starview 2

get the correct firmware for it the CryptstarV4.00 400 from the eko site if it the starview 1 genuine box

what you need to do is get the loader and firmware ready and turn the box on as soon as you see the first green light hit the download button and it should work this might take a few tries as it is all about timing ok

 

You are a freaking genius man freaking genius I was so gonna throw that in the bin, it worked first time with your suggestion if ur ever in Dublin I’ll buy you a pint or ten…cheers bud

 

No bother mate glad you are sorted happy viewing

 

Hi All
I am just about to flash a THE BOX for a family member. This is the first one I have done, I usually do starview and EV.
Anyway, on the first page of this thread there seems to be a difference of opinion between Malci and Fergus on what way to upload and what firmware to use. The issue ia that these two guys are very clued in; so who do I go with

I am in Dublin on NTHell.
Should I use the normal GTRom loader with bin file 4.50
Or should I use the updated GTRom loader 4.3 with firmware 4.54
Does it make a difference either way???


All help as ever, I am thankful for.

 

Here's my opinion John lol

I would use the normal GTRom loader with bin file 4.50 for Ireland

I have used this upteen times for people and NO reports back , In my opinion I find this version more stable and reliable

 

Cool...sounds good to me Celtic71.

I will use GTRom loader (normal)

thanks for the fast response

No problem , your welcome

 

John, Can I please point out that there is and I never have had a difference of opinion with Fergus - as regards your post (as quoted), I have and did merely point out the correct procedure of upgrading firmware above the 4.50 for Ireland and 5.51 for UK, the procedure I posted is the correct procedure for the 4.52/53/and 4.54. and I did state that in my opinion the 4.50 and 4.51 for respective locations is the most stable and reliable. I have in fact always advised to the contrary "that in my opinion that firmware was more trouble than it was worth" as I am sure Fergus would agree with me, and of course Celtic has agreed with me in past posts. Yes the 4.50 is your most reliable and best course of action for you as Celtic has advised - hope this clears up any confusion.

 

Hi Malci
No.... I didn't mean a difference of opinion as in "mine is better than yours" just simply that Fergus in his post said: just put 4.50 on and your mail was so much more in the way of info, going from 4.50 to the others and my confusion level was peaking in the red.
Sorry if my post seemed to say there was an arguementitive view, not so.
Thanks for the clarification on that and apologies if it seemd any other way.
Sometimes you need to speak these things as opposed to writing them, it would be easier.
Cheers
John

 

John

The V4.50 is what i always used but when the V4.54 came out i switched the versions on my boxes there does not seem to be much in the difference apart from the emu not switching itself back to default after turning power off on the box the 4.54 this does not appear to happen

Put the v4.50 on then put the v4.54 over it using the other loader v4.03 but remember to put the logo file on with it as well otherwise you will have problems you will have to do a factory reset first as the channels on the box will not work on it otherwise then do your scan after you have put it on ok

Hope this clears the matter up

Okay John, thanks for reply, just thought I needed to clarify that point, as I have never been confrontational to anyone on the forum and don't intend to be, and yes stick to the loader GTRom V4.00 for all firmware below the 4.52 - I only put the post up about the method of going above because people seemed to be getting their boxes stuck with just The Box logo as a result of incorrect loading, but I would not advise anyone to use that particular firmware, as you can do without problems you don't have at the moment. Cheers

 

Thanks Fergus,
So, if I put on the 4.50 version do I need to put on the logo file as well or is the logo file only for the 4.54 version?
thanks
john

 

Thanks Fergus, that does help in clarification, reiterates the point I had been making previously, Cheers and good luck.

 

If you are flashing to 4.50, then NO you don't need the logo file, fash as normal with GTRom 4.00.

no the logo file is already on that file so no you dont if you reflash with the V4.54 yes you will have to put the logo file on after you flash ok

 

Thanks again Malci...
Cheers
John

 

Thanks, Fergus too

 

Your welcome, just hope everything is clear now, and has Fergus has just posted, and I have posted on front page of this thread, if you do go any higher then YES you will need the logo file and GTRom 4.3 good luck.

 

Jesus John , you should have about 20 b0xes flashed by now lol
