uploaded to the box and still get only fta channels - get bad channel/scrambled

when going into the nagra section - ex c/w etc is gone but i have FFFFF

do i need to set to default key and enter keys, cos i assumed with the update i wouldnt have to do this

weedie
30th November, 2008, 04:06 PM
ok - just incase anyone else has the same problem i did - i set the default key, put in the latest keys from "keymaster" and all is working again....for now ;)

audioblackout, how did you install the firmware because im having problems:

1) im plugging int he serial cable to the pc and to the box.
2)Turned on the box, it displays the channel number
3)I open the GTRom_Super_8.02e.exe and click download.

But then it says Flash Update Failed...

am i doing anything wrong?

Getting flash failed message aswell, flashed the box loads of times aswell, not sure whats up?

Cable works ect.

Yeh same, i got the old v4.00 of the GTRom and that still works with my box, tested it by uploading from the box...

So it seems there is something wrong with this new GTRom loader, it doesnt seem to work with my box, doesnt communicate with it.

Seems few other are having the same issue, need someone more advanced to help us out ...

spanner5351
30th November, 2008, 08:52 PM
If someone can give us the .bin file of the update then we can use the old version of the GTRom loader to download the update onto our box.

Hi Lolly,

The cable you need is a serial cable, it must have come with your Starview box, then all you do is connect the cable from your pc to your starview box. Then download the update, run it and click download.

spanner5351
30th November, 2008, 09:39 PM
However, i am still having problems with the new update failing to connect to my starview box.

Someone must have some ideas?

30th November, 2008, 10:26 PM
I am unable to download the firmware to the box. Nothing happens when I click download. If someone could post the update as a BIN file and the old loader can be used.

I have tried putting the box into standby mode, using a different cable and different PC.

Papag
30th November, 2008, 10:42 PM
I have starview box but how can you tell which version i have?:damnmate:
Hi have the same query myself think I have sorted it
you go into menu on your remote
scroll down to system info,
then your system will show

Mine gives starview ver. 4 so I guess I have Starview 4 so no firmware available as yet,
Caution I'm no techy so if anyone has any other info please inform

Yup we need the maker of the fix to upload the BIN file, clearly the bin file is embedded in the new loader...but the new loader doesnt seem to work with some of our boxes...not quite sure what distiguishes our boxes and the ones that work with the new loader!

just need a BIN file to use with old loader!

some one help...?!

Hi, I am in the same boat! I flashed the box super when the patch first appeared and it worked fine. Then about 30min ok i changed channel from ss2 to s one and it locked up with bad channel of scrambled. The only thing is this time it does not seem to even try to update like it used too.

1st of all if anyone can help me??? I?m a real novice at this and struggling with certain lingo used. If I can speak direct to someone it might help????

I was on this for over 2 hrs yesterday and although a few people tried no-one could help me sort out my problem.

I thought it was connect download and update, most users had no problem, and so why have I?

I have a SV3 not clonned

I have downloaded the latest firmware GTRom_Super_8.02e (saved my desktop)

I then connected by box with the serial cable to my other cable to use via the PC?s USB.

I double clicked on the GTRom_Super_8.02e, choose the com port and click download.

I get flash failed every time?????

I read that said I should make sure App file only is selected, then click bin file & browse to the firmware where you downloaded it to on your PC.
But how you have App File selected only and click on bin file then is shaded. I only have the channel data file, so I clicked on that whiched allowed me to then click on the bin file; I broswes to where I have saved GTRom_Super_8.02e but it found nothing, I really don?t understand

If anyone can maybe talk me through it piece by piece and get my box working I would appreciate it very much. As I said If needed I can phone someone and they talk me through it but I'm really sure I'm doing what the forums tell me to do, but still no joy

Thank you for your time

SIMPLE STEPS TO FLASH BOX

1. download new firmware from this thread

2. connect the Starview 3 box to your pc using the correct cable...

3. from the downloaded zip folder, open and double click on the new firmware

4. this opens up the software and it should show be able to click DOWNLOAD.

5. it will go from 0% up to 100% and when this is complete you will get a message saying download complete ! MAKE SURE YOU SEE THE DOWNLOAD COMPLETE POP UP BEFORE YOU DISCONNECT! if you remove it before this pop up appears then it wont work and may kill the box!

6. once pop up shows you can disconnect the box and hook it up to the tv and cable.

7. RESCAN for channels and then flick to a premium channel

8. then on menu press 1570 for CAS menu and make sure EMU is ON!

9. EXIT until the premium channel is shown, it should come on automatically or it will update for a moment then the channel should be shown!


10. problem solved!

1st December, 2008, 12:03 PM
m8 sounds like u have the wrong lead mines worked first time

Hi, its got nothing to do with the cable as i have used a few different ones and it makes no difference.

its only easy as 123 if you have a box that works with the new this new loader.

CLEARLY some of us have boxes that only work with the GTRom loader v4.00


so some of us are still waiting for a BIN file to user the old loader to load the new firmware!!!!!

mikea2b
1st December, 2008, 12:21 PM
so i need to put some post is this how you do it

yep, just send a few posts like this then click the download again and it should work!

1st December, 2008, 12:23 PM

For those having problems with the flash, Starview 1-3

1. Connect box to pc via serial port
2. switch OFF starview box
3. start up flash program on pc (run the firmware exe file, or set download of .bin file :depending on flash method yoiu use)
4. power on starview and the lcd display should show the flash % going up
5. When reaches 100, It should restart and be flashed

Job done.

Unless any one who has managed to flash their box can upload a .BIN of their new firmware.

this firmware will NOT work on the starview 2 box...only the starview 3 the box super.

no new firmware for the starview 2 is available yet but from what i see looking around theres a lot for people working on a fix

i also hope it is released soon as i need to flash 2 boxes

slitheen
2nd December, 2008, 03:11 AM
Some are saying it works fine, but it should be noted that Virgin haven't even rolled the codes since 30/11/08...the day the new 8.02e fw became available. My box is still working on the codes I got off keyMaster on the 30th even without the new firmware update (I'm on 8.00e from June). I'll be interested to see what happens during the next keyroll. If the boxes with the new 8.02e fw handle the roll OK, that's when I'll be flashing mine.

At the moment there appears to be too much inconsistency with this update....I don't buy it that the people who can't get it to work are ALL doing something wrong, as many of them are perfectly capable owners and have previously flashed their units with no problems. The .bin file alone would be extremely handy for these people, then they can upload the .bin with versions of the ROM loader that they've had previous success with.

2nd December, 2008, 03:16 AM
If you would like to test it just press the default key in the CAS menu, make sure key emu is on and exit out to Sly Sports . This will clear the keylist and it will AU. Same thing as a keyroll AU, you are just forcing it.

this is to all who have problems with new starview 3 software you must make sure the software is for your box. starview 2 and 3 are very similar in looks .if you look at the top left on the the front of your box it will say the box super this is a starview 3. if it says just the box its a starview 2 the new software will only work on a super if you try the new software on a 2 the box you will get failed message when trying to download on to box. you will have to wait for new software for the box starview 2 ps thanks to everybody behind the scenes for all new updates

Finally, someone that has probably hit the nail on the head...this is probably why i am having the problem. i have always assumed that i had the starview 3, clearly it must be the starview 2 box as they do look very similar.

thanks, will be waiting for the update for SV2.

Starview 3 IS 'The Box Super', and will say 'The Box Super' on the front, not simply 'The Box', and it is the only version box that this fix is for. Does that help?

just been reading through these posts, and for those who's downloads have failed, it's an off chance, but i'm wondering whether you've plugged the cable into the right com port. there's usually com 1 and com 2 on the back of your computer. make sure you've plugged the cable into the right one!!!

also just wanted to point out to the guys who've updated this (if they're reading this), i had a major scare scare today. all the premium channels again went off. i left the system to update again and thankfully it sorted the problem. would be nice if i didnt have to do this though!!!

just a point eh. thanks to everyone for their great work :)

Can someone please specify the exact cable need to connect the Starview box to the PC to ensure that the firmware can be be uploaded to the box.

Thanks:

Make sure the cable you buy says 'null modem' in the title. There are some serial cables that are very different. You want a serial null modem cable, female-female.

I need help with my box. It is not working. I need new keymaster.

If you want to keep putting in codes daily...get Keymaster v1.2. If you have a Starview 3 (The Box Super), you can download the new firmware to your box via a serial null modem cable and fix the issue for good (or at least until the next time VM mess with it)

Hi there,

I'm a bit of a novice to this and was hoping someone could help me out!

I have downloaded the 8.02 update zip file, connected the starview box to my PC etc and I now have the grey 'The Box super' window up, where you have the option to upload / download bin files etc.

How do I proceed from here??

Do I need a seperate .bin file downloaded as well, where can I get that from??

Any help on this would be massively appreciated!

Cheers.

firstly u can enter codes for a quick fix.. they may change within a day
once you have done the update you dont have to enter codes.. thats the point of the update..

____
you will need Winrar (get it here - http://www.win-rar.com/download.html )

then open then file connect your box and press download
NEVER TURN YOUR BOX OF WHILE ITS DOWNLOADING

im 16 and my dad got this box and he dident no nothing about it.. and when it broke i couldent watch football so i had to read so many posts on how to fix it and everything.. was very annoying just reading one post here and anouther there and trying to put all the info into one so i could understand it.. but belive me it is very easy and simple

allso check again that you have the new fix - (8.02e)

if you have that try this..
1.Menu
2.1570
3.Click *Set Defalt Key*
then let it update and it should work..

allso make sure you have *EMU* *ON* what it sounds like you do

hi can somebody please tell me where to connect box to computer

Via the Serial port - which is a 9-pin male connection with 2 screws either side of it on the back of most older PC's. A lot of modern PC's don't often have them, in which case they require a USB-Serial adaptor (with accompanying driver loaded into the PC), and also a serial null modem cable. If your PC DOES have a serial port, you just need the serial null modem cable alone for a direct connection. If it's a desktop PC you have and not a laptop, and it doesn't have a serial port, you can alternatively buy a serial PCI card on eBay for about ?5...this will give you two serial ports.

There are plenty of guides knocking about that'll give you the finer details and pictures. It looks daunting....but it really is easy if you just take the time to learn, ask sensible questions (after making sure you've looked for the answers in older posts/threads first), and supply people here with as much info on your problem as possible (no vague "it don't work" type posts). Best of luck.

Good on you for helping yourself. I know some people have to start at the beginning, but some of the half-ars*d posts I've read over the last week make me wonder if people want their bottoms wiping by those more knowledgeable. I love to read posts like yours where people admit they come in knowing nothing, took the time to learn and then helped themselves.

Of course people don't mind helping and offering advice, when the person asking explains what they've tried, the equipment they've used, what firmware is on the box prior to flashing etc. Not simply "it doesn't work....help me!"

Good for you, mate. Wish there were more like you.

hi I have doen loaded the new firmware on to my box and seen it go up from 0 to 100% and down load complete connected to my tv but still got no channels . checked the version, and that states the new version oh i have a sv3

So obviously the flash was a success as it shows the latest version. Mmmm...try Menu - type 1570 - set default key - key emu to 'on' - exit to Sly Sports 1 and see if the box will auto-update (can sometimes take a while). If not, flick the switch on the back on and off....when it boots, turn to Sly Sports 1 and see if it will now auto-update. If not, re-scan for channels....then set default key in the hidden menu, make sure key emu is 'on' and then exit to Sly Sports 1...and now see if it'll update itself.

Any luck after these steps? Please let us know. Also, count the vents on the top of your box....are there 7 rows of 25 vents? Or 7 rows of 18 vents? Just to rule out the possibility of it being a clone, you see. (25x7=Genuine - 18x7=Clone, and clones use different software/fixes)

Any luck after taking the above steps? Please let us know, thanks.

Thanks a lot for this advice excelence! I used the helpful guide on freewebs you posted and worked out how to change the USB port setting to COM1 which has now allowed me at least to start downloading the update file...

HOWEVER!!! I now have an error message flashing up before the download bar has even reached 1% - "Flash update Fail..."

I have the box connected up correctly and have tried it on standby and completely on, connected to the TV and not connected to the TV...

Ready to chuck it out the window!

Do I need to install older updates first or something??

Any help again would be greatly appreciated!!!

Ok..

I, like a lot of people with a new Starview 3, have been pulling my hair out all day trying to upgrade the FW to 8.02.

For me, it was as simple as using Vista rather than XP.

I use XP for work so I have a dual boot and have to use USB adapter as a serial port. I tried all day on XP only to have the download stop around 80% every time - later i tried with Vista and BINGO it worked.

Maybe is an XP SP3 snag, i dont know. There was no need to downgrade the existing firmware - it went stright from 8.0 to 8.02 - no problems.

Hope this helps some people.

Flashed a mate's SV 3 using excellent info on here. All worked a treat, even went to BICS and re-named appropriate numbered channels to S*t*nta - found two BICS numbers for each one, one of which worked and one which has no sound. Anyhoo, did the business, and tried to move the newly named cahnnels to Sport menu.

Lost both of the blinking things.:eek: Still, all's well that ends well. Simply re-flashed and now all OK. He can sort out the S*t*nta stuff hisself!

Thanks for all the excellent advice guys.

Hi,

How do I know what COM port to use and where can I get the bin file?

Thanks

Go into Control Panel on your PC, double click on 'System', click 'Hardware' tab, click 'Device Manager'. Look down the tree/list for 'Ports (COM & LPT)', open that section up by clicking the + sign, and your COM ports will be listed here, and they will also be showing what COM number has been assigned to the serial ports on your PC. If it or they (depending on how many serial ports you got) are assigned numbers between 1 and 4, you're good to go....you're ready to use the firmware fix ROM loader and you'll know which ports to try from the 1-4 selection.

If the COM port numbers assigned to your PC's serial ports are HIGHER than 1-4, you will have to change them. My two ports were originally COM 6 and COM 7, so the firmware loader couldn't see my box....I changed them to COM 1 and COM 2 and it worked a treat. To change them you do this:

Right click on the COM port in question back in device manager, select 'Properties', Select 'Port Settings, Select 'Advanced', and use the drop-down-box to select a number between 1 and 4 for each of your COM ports (each one different, of course). Click OK when you're done.

Now go and connect your box up with the serial null modem cable and try the firmware ROM loader again with the new numbers assigned to your COM ports. If you set them COM 1 and COM 2 for example....try them both, one will work (if you have two sockets it depends which serial socket you're plugged into... so you have to try both).

As regards the BIN file, if it is a Starview 3 (The Box Super), then you don't need a seperate BIN file....the ROM loader is an all-in-one fix. V8.02e (dated 30/11/2008) is what you want. Just connect up, put the box on standby, open the ROM loader, select your COM port...click 'download'. IMPORTANT...it will go from 0% to 100%, and then say it is 'writing data to the box' or something similar, THEN you get a 'Download Complete' pop-up when it is all done. ONLY THEN is it safe to disconnect your box. Do it before and you WILL doorstop your box.

But yeah, only Starview 1 and Starview 2 (The Box) need separate ROM loader and BIN files now. Starview 3 (The Box Super) has it all-in-one. Couldn't be easier.

Good luck.

A big THANK YOU to our site hosts and the technical wizards who have the answers. Have fixed 2 the box super 7 X 20 vent using p.c. vista o.s . and a starview 2 again with vista 7 X 25 vent. Main problem with the starview 2 was opening the download file . Have a good xmas and a prosperous new year.

Hi I downloaded the latest GTROM
GTRom_Super_8.04e.exe
for starview 3 super.
Ive re scanned all channels etc emu is on.
This was all done approx 2-3 weeks ago, however it has not updated itself with the latest codes which are showing last updated 9 th jan. All the channels are now scrambled again which means having to manually re - enter the latest codes. I was under the impression that flashing with the latest GT Rom would allow the box to auto update itself.

Thanks for any advice

Press the default key in the CAS menu and exit to Sly Sports. It should update as all others have.

Always a great help on here ;0)

I'm still not getting ManU TV and Sultana Sports are on the BICS numbers, anyone else have the same problems.

When I try and go on ManU TV all the others lock and I have to re-boot?

Any suggestions welcome, altho it aint really a hardship :)

Can someone please tell me what the hell 8.04e firmware is for exactly....as I have 8.02e (30/11/08) on mine still and it is working fine. What exactly is the new fix supposed to fix? My box is obviously auto-updating as I'm watching Sky Sports on it....yet I've just come back from off holiday to find there is a new 8.04e firmware. What is the fix for? :/

Thanks.

You're probably correct, as it seems for many people 8.02e is still working...yet for others it isn't. I just thought it might address non critical issues that are not auto-update related (meaning I could have still benefited from 8.04e), but I will leave my box as it is for now.

Hi Lads

Just wondering if this software will work as previous releases or If an uploader will be needed with the null modem cable.

Quick question also, do I need a different version of this software or do something with the starview 3 when using it in different areas of Ireland?
