Hi, connected to port COM2 and everytime i try to flash it i get flash update failed after 30 seconds, Its a new box starview 3 but i cant get into the secret menu so i have to upgrade. any idea please at the end of mi tether.. cheers
would I be right in assuming you are trying to flash it using Vista.. if so this sysstem has some kind of issues, can you use a mates XP it will load without any problems on that!!
Hi, I am using xp via usb, when usb is plugged in its on COM19 and so I change it to COM2 and it still does not upload. Is there another way I can do it like downloading the bin and manually finding it. sted
If you are using XP can you not just use the null modem? Or did you try what Noel suggested : compliments of celt To see which port your USB adapter is connected to, connect your USB adapter and follow the following instructions: 1. Go to the Start Menu 2. Right click on "My Computer" 3. Select "Properties" 4. Click on the "Hardware" tab 5. Click on "Device Manager" 6. Click the + sign next to "Ports (COM & LPT)" 7. One of the listed ports should indicate which port your USB adapter is connected to (e.g. COM1, COM2, COM3, etc.) 8. Go back to your map software program that you use to transfer data and make sure it is looking at the correct port. 9. You should be able to transfer data once the correct port is selected If you need drivers go here http://www.gilsson.com/usb_drivers_download.htm Follow my advice to step 7. Locate your USB Adapter (port *) Right click on that port and select properties. Then select port settings, then select advanced. At the bottom of that tab will be a drop down box with the port selected (port * in your case). Use the drop down to select another port (eg 1, 2 or 3). If the port you want to use is already allocated to something else, you can use the same procedure to reassign that port after you have finished. Save the selections in the usual way. The USB converter will be permanently assigned to the port you selected.
yeah did what it said above and the firmware is GTRom_Super_709eBETA and tried GTRom_Super_8.00e niether work
it came with box and then i bought so i presume it is and then i bought a usb to serial and connected them both. when i plugged just the null in to my pc it didnt find it.
If you are using the cable that came with the box its a rs232 (its written on it) you need a null modem cable, available from maplins!!
so the cable is wrong? in the back of the manual it shows you how to download from pc using this cable. So if i got one from say ebay and the advertised it as RS232 Female to female cable, used for the following boxes: Eurovox max Starview Kryptview Arnet 1000 Digivox Replay lite D-box Dreambox Technomate Humax Echostar Manhatten would that be ok?
