can't connect to eurovox to update firmware

[bigguns247]

When hooked up to the eurobox via that connection I run the down load program and get the message "the receiver was not detected". I then chose a com port 1-4 (tried all) and get "waiting for the responce of your reciever" and then still nothing.

Are you using the com port on the motherboard or an adapter?

It should always be set to com1. Reboot the PC after making any changes.

Are you sure it's a null modem cable? Have you successfully flashed anything before with it?

You can get 9-pin female cables that are not null modem cables...the pin configuration is different.

On the desktop i'm using the comport on the motherboard, and yes it is a null modem cable as i've been able to flash my FTA 101 box in the past with it without any problems, even setting things to com1 doesn't make a differance.

Is the eurovox at the correct state to receive the transfer?

It need to be at the point where there's 4 numbers on the lcd, or 4 dashes.

lv never been a great fan of firmware with its own installer . at least with voxer u can play around with it

When i bought it the trader flashed it there and then, i'm now trying to get the ufl max red 10.04.08 software on to it but this box will not receive or be detected.

turn the box off and at the same time u press download turn the box on . or unplug and plug in fast . l take it this came in a red box . there r clones around but they should be ok

Sorry if this is in wrong place.
I have an old Eurovox with just 1 scart socket it came in a white box and tuner streches to about 12 slots. I cannot change chanells or imput keys manually as remote wont work. I have checked remote and it is sending signal.The question is can I upgrade this with firmware to a say blue or eurovox 2.so that I can imput keys and use another remote

Hi Ronny I see HiTeck helped you out here http://www.digital-kaos.co.uk/forums/f71/eurovox-receivers-firmware-9787/index11.html have you tried a Max remote with it?

Apologies if I dont reply for a while as I am heading off for a while.
