If you have a PC/Laptop with a 9 pin serial socket then all you need is a Null Modem Cable, see pic below.

If you have a PC/Laptop that doesn't have the 9 pin serial socket you will need a Null Modem Cable and a USB adapter, See pic below.

http://i429.photobucket.com/albums/qq13/HiTeck1979/Cablesrequiredwithusb-2.png


If you have a PC and you are struggling with the usb adapter or you have Vista like me you could install a PCI serial card which is easily added to you PC and with this all you need is the null modem cable which gives you a direct link from your box to the pc.

Problems with your PC/Laptop not recognising your box.

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

USB to Serial Adapter driver downloads and documentation (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.

[cactikid]

Hi all, no channel is coming on after the download just this message "Complete exit". Pls help thanksafter any firmware is put on any box you need to factory reset 0000 to delete and rescan your provider.

[Lisp]

Have been on a number of forums to get the information but this is simply the best instructions. You should be writing instructions for a living ;-)

[nmaher]

Tutorial is excellent - clear and easy to follow. Unfortunately, I have hit what seems to be a common problem. I'm using a USB serial port adaptor/ null modem cable to connect to box but I'm getting the "The downloading is not requested" error in a pop up. There is a further error on the download popup "Read REQ failed". I've been through all the forums and have tried all suggestions. Would appreciate any help!

[remcy]

Very clear and precise instructions. Have just ordered my box and can't wait to follow the instructions tomorrow. Will give feedback. Thanks a million

[remcy]

could any one please help. I have downloaded the firmware, reset my box to default but still cannot receive the channels. It says scramble on most channels. Thanks

[wilf]

have you checked in system info as to what firmware is on the box? anything later than 28/11/08 should be ok as long as you have scanned your box on the correct provider for your area

[richardsb]

can someone help me i am trying to put new firmware on to kryptview 700 just keeps coming up with "download is not requested"

[cactikid]

have you read the first post??

[celtic]

hi evry one wonder is there any one that can tell me how to get some of my channels back please thanks

[wilf]

hello celtic welcome to digital kaos, you need to post a thread of your own telling people what box you have, what area you live and when you lost the channels. the more info you give the better chance of getting it sorted

[starman31]

Hi, I have the firmaware date 12/07/2009 flashed to my Arnet A700c and we've lost all channels.......I'm located in Lancashire.........we lost all channels in the last couple of weeks..........please help!!!

A mate says his Kryptview box has stopped working in the Peterborough area though your list does not say they have exclusively gone over to new encryption system. I don't live in a cable area (sigh) but suggested he re-flashing the firmware just in case it's corrupt. The job has now fallen to me to do (mates a bit of a Luddite) but is the 120709.bin the latest firmware suitable for the A700 before I do this for him?

[rockville]

Hi all - just checking Kryptview out after a few years of Eurovox.

Am I right in thinking that for all intents and purproses Kryptview works the same the only difference being that you connect the box to your router with an ethernet cable?

Are you still able to browse the Net as usual while watching TV...daft question I know.

I have a VM TV sub and BE broadband so all I'd need is the box, the cables and the firmware?

[angrycat]

can i buy some sort of adapter as i dont have 9 PIN connection from my laptop?

[barrowmanandrew]

yes.. you are correct.
the box will have no effect on your computer.

you will need a null modem cable and possibly a usb to seriel adaptor, if your pc is newish....

[plasterer]

Yes thats correct mate ,all available
Just read the red stickys at the top of the Kryptveiw Page ...Paul

[bigguy283]

[Evilred1981]

how do you down load the Kryptview Loader?

[ruhmuhammad1]

guys, just downloaded and flashed the firmware as per instructions. went into auto install and got nowhere with it...says it found 7 channels but will not go past installation screen. by the way i'm on nthell in waterford ireland. any help would be appreciated-thanks
Great Tutorial.....

A lot of problems people face with channel search is due to the fact that the flashing and subsequent isntallation (easy install) has to be done without the receiver being switched off.

If after the flashing, the box is for some reason switched off (as in my case, i was flashing in a seperate room on my laptop and then carried the box to the room where my TV was), the installation to get channels would not work. The box can be switched off once the scan etc is complete.

[cactikid]

if you read up on it there are no boxes working in eire,only a doorstop m8.

Hi everyone

KRYPTVIEW A780 - FILE LOADING

I'm wondering if someone can come to my rescue.

I have gone through the steps as illustrated on this thread, but could not load the file.
I get a message "The downloading is not requested".

I am using 2 cables (null famale to male cable & USB converter) with a small famale connector in between the cables. Nothing is happening.

Could someone put some green light.
I have checked the COM port.

Would it be the cables?? I could not find a single cable.

Your help will be much appreciated.

Hi,

I bought a cable from ebay that goes from USB to Null cable (says BAOYU on top). the cable did not come with any drivers. does anyone know where i can get drivers/ how i can get the cable installed, as currently i am just getting a yellow ? mark.

If you have a PC/Laptop with a 9 pin serial socket then all you need is a Null Modem Cable, see pic below.

http://i429.photobucket.com/albums/qq13/HiTeck1979/Cablesrequired-3.png


If you have a PC/Laptop that doesn't have the 9 pin serial socket you will need a Null Modem Cable and a USB adapter, See pic below.

http://i429.photobucket.com/albums/qq13/HiTeck1979/Cablesrequiredwithusb-2.png


If you have a PC and you are struggling with the usb adapter or you have Vista like me you could install a PCI serial card which is easily added to you PC and with this all you need is the null modem cable which gives you a direct link from your box to the pc.

Problems with your PC/Laptop not recognising your box.

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

USB to Serial Adapter driver downloads and documentation (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.

Been scratching my head for a while over this, so time to bite the bullet and ask.

Firstly, is the software it's running correct? - Evolution A780 v3.2.00 dated 18/5/2010 (I have an A780). If I try to load the latest firmware, all I get is 'The downloading is not requested' message!

I've managed to get all channels scanned, but can only see the FTA ones. I'm connected to the net (ok, I think), but have no joy at all with the scrambled ones. Is there something I'm missing, or is an internet connection problem? Seem to have about a 5 meg download speed. Would that make a difference?

Anyway, any help would be most welcome, as I'll be bald by xmas from pulling my hair out! :-(

[satsmo]

The latest firmware sticky link for the A780 downloads fine, I just checked it.

Have you tried updating the firmware while the KV is online and that it is in fact online?

When it is online - Press menu - Installation - SW Update - Press OK - It will now update.

Go to MENU--SETTINGS--S/W UPDATE
If you are connected to internet box will auto-update itself
or tell you it's already up to date when you select SW/UPDATE

The box will have to be flashed with a computer as its not got the online update facility.

Once flashed with any of the A780 software it will update on line.

possibly needed and update from them,later firmware has sw update,so you need the null modem to flash either file and then you can sw update to latest.

Hi again. Sorry I haven't been back on to thank everyone for the advice in getting my box sorted. Been away, and had to leave it over christmas, but it's still not solving my problem. All the advice makes good sense, but ultimately it seems floored by the fact that it won't accept the firmware upgrade! All I ever get is 'The downloading is not requested' message. Is it possible that I have a faulty box? Or am I just missing something when I'm trying to do the upgarde? Any advice would be very gratefully recieved. Thanks

Thanks Cactikid, but the problem with that is, my box won't let me upgrade online (yet). I'm told it will need the initial firmware load before it will let me. It certainly doesn't give me the option at the moment. :-(

ok yes new box you have to flash with cable the first time

when you hit download wait for a second then turn the kv on ?

I'm sure I've tried that, but will give it another go. Should the box be factory reset too before doing this? Thanks

no m8 plus are you flashing with a pc or laptop xp vista win7 ?

have you assigned com port correctly ?

[DW190]

I'm using a laptop with Vista. But, I've also tried the home pc using XP.

I'm on 7 but I think its similar in the device manager, never used Vista.

Plug you usb to serial in the usb on lappy, dont plug into box yet.

Click Start (Bottom Left)
Right click on Computer then click on manage
Click on Device manager
You should see Ports (com Ltp) to the right
Click on Ports (Com Ltp)
Usb to serial should appear with a port number (note the port number)
Right click it
Click on properties

It should say device working properly
Click on Port Settings at the top

Change the bit per second to 11200 data bits to 8 stop bits to 1

Press OK

Close all windows.

Open STB Loader and make sure the null cable is secure in back of box before entering the software and the correct port number you noted into the loader.

[Silverfox47]

Yes, I think so. Only had 2 to choose from. The one does nothing, the other leads back to the same 'The downloading is not requested' message. Well, at least the way I had tried to do it.

[maca]

did you install the drivers for the usb ??

[cactikid]

was your box powered on when downloading was pressed

[Silverfox47]

Thanks DW190. I'll try giving that a go, as that is something I don't remember having done. There maybe something there I've missed.

[Silverfox47]

I've tried it from power right off, or from standby Cactikid. I've tried many things, but keep getting the same result

[cactikid]

just chechecking that null modem cable came with the box yes

[DW190]

Yes, I think so. Only had 2 to choose from. The one does nothing, the other leads back to the same 'The downloading is not requested' message. Well, at least the way I had tried to do it.

If one port is doing nothing and the other is doing something (download not requested) and your computer tells you the "device is working properly". Using the process of elimination, either the settings are wrong Bits & data bits or the null cable is not connecting.

You live anywhere near Bolton. Be easier to flash it for you than all this two finger typing.

[Silverfox47]

No. Didn't get the cable with it. I already had that. The drivers are installed for the USB adapter too. I will go back over all of that though then, just to be sure. But both my laptop, and PC seem to end up saying the same things.

You sure its Null Modem?

Have you used it for anything else?

[cactikid]

was this cable used to flash boxes if not,wrong cable

[Silverfox47]

I wish DW, as that would hopefully be the answer to my troubles. But unfortunately, I'm in Swindon. :-( I'll probably kick myself once I see it done, but it's just getting past this hurdle. I'll take a good look at the how I have it set up in the morning again, but I need to hit the sack now tonight. I'll keep you posted how I get on. Thanks to both of you for the advice.

[cactikid]

hope he dont say bought in maplins lol.

box normally comes with cable,did you recheck?

[cactikid]

so maybe another wrong cable issue again lol,wont be the first
or last lol

[Silverfox47]

Yes, it was Maplins I think. Maybe I need to get another then. But I didn't get any cables with my box.

[cactikid]

2 identical cables look the same,null modem has a cross over wire for flashing boxes,the other is straight wired and does not work.

[DW190]

hope he dont say bought in maplins lol.

box normally comes with cable,did you recheck?

If he's used a PC with XP and he got different responses from comm ports 1 & 2 its odds on its the cable.

One comm port dead (wrong one)

Other comm port "Not requested" (talking but through distorted mouth) wrong cable).

Does this make sense Caty?

[cactikid]

any mates got boxes as they might have a cable

[chelski]

Followed instructions and everything worked fine.

[Silverfox47]

Just recieved my cable, and what do you know! It worked a treat. A massive thanks guys. I just feel a plonker for not realising myself! :-( Anyway, The Silverfox Fox is a happy chappy now, so once again thanks. :-)

Hi guys,

I have read this thread from top to bottom but still can't get the "Kryptview A780-03012011 firmware" to d/load to my box.

Ihave the box connected to a 9yr old XP desktop PC using a null modem cable that came with my box. I get the dreaded message "Can't open serial portcom" on all coms apart from com3. When I try com3 I get the message "The downloading is not
requested" I am using the correct com settings.
I am sure I have tried all the fixes in the thread, but to no avail. I am nearly at the end of my tether and thinking of sending the box back.

Does anyone have any other ideas apart from what has been said on this thread ? Could it be a dodgy box or cable ?

I would really appreciate any help.

Don't give up on it yet. First time flashing a KV box can be very
daunting, but you'll get there. If cable came with box it should be OK. You could borrow cable from friend who has flashed box.
Just to check 1 or 2 things first. Is bin file loading correctly to
loader. When you select bin file you click OPEN on FILE NAME
window where bin file shows. Com 3 looks like correct port
Some people find it better to use this method;
Power on box
Hit START on loader
Power off box
Power on box
Try this & try diff null-modem cable if you like. You could always
ask friend who is good on computers to help you

insert in PC & windows 7 may install it for you. Null modem cable

Firstly many thanks to HiTech for the original post of the excellent guide and also to all subsequent posts that have helped to get me through this.

For anyone who's struggling with a RS232 adapter let me share my experience of this evening.

I have two laptops in the house a 'current' one and the old one that it replaced. Both running XP Pro SP3, neither with a native serial port

I started with the new one (it was handy) and along with a PCMCIA - RS232 adaptor I set about the dirty deed - following the previously mentioned idiots guide. Whatever I tried I just got the very popular "The downloading is not requested" message.

So plan B was to go through the exact same procedure but with the older laptop - installed first time. Same adaptor same leads etc etc.

Now I know this doesn't actually answer any of the questions or solve anybody's problems.
But what I hope it does is illustrate how hit and miss this can be. I know from bitter experience in the past how frustrating it is to follow a guide only to hit a wall and fail.
The guide is brilliant and if you're following it you're most likely doing nothing wrong so however you do it - try another PC, and another one if that doesn't work and another...

If this doesn't help you - I hope it gives you hope.....

No need to be runnin' 'round from PC to PC. If you had selected

I did all of that. Same driver installed in both laptops. Same adapter - resulted in different com ports, but it's not difficult to work out which com port you need to use at6 the time.

always use the latest date in firmware,that all you need

[krypt]

Hi I have a A780 and have been trying to flash it using a laptop with xp and a usb to serial connector.

i have tried to install the driver following the guide but get the message - not installed as cannot find the necessary software.

I have also followed the rest of the tutorial and checked the port but the only thing that is showing is bluetooth communications port (com3).

I tried to do the flash any way and got the dreaded message download not requested.

Can anyone give some advice on this ?

cheers

[badapple]

Krypt m8, looks like you need to update the usb/serial adaptor drivers.

[krypt]

How would I do that ?

[badapple]

Try loading the software/drivers from the little disc that came with the adaptor again or have a look here for your adaptor
>http://www.digital-kaos.co.uk/forums/f10/please-upload-maplin-usb-serial-rs232-drivers-d-12622/?highlight=usb+adaptor+drivers

[krypt]

went through that link and cannot use any of the links on that thread, they will not open

[badapple]

What make & model is the adaptor?
Have you tried re-installing the drivers from the little disk?
Do a google search for your adaptor & you should find the latest drivers.

[krypt]

I think I will have to get a new usb connector as it did not come with a disk and there is no details of make or model anywhere on it.

[krypt]

Hi again I have got a new usb adaptor and have now installed it so I can see which port needs to be used com 4 on mine, I have everything else in place but when I try to flash the box I get the download not requested message, I have been through the Tut several times and have trawled the replies on all these pages and tried all the advice and still nothing, can someone please help

i updated with this Kryptview_A750_03012011 with usb connector which i brought coz my laptop did not have 9pin connector anyway thx again but yesterday all the channels went (only few were coming including the channels i watch which are sky sports but now they are gone again) what do you suggest i should do wait until they come back )
i do use the kryptview a750 with i connect:stoned::stoned:

[cactikid]

the s/w update is on your firmware which you use to connect to internet. menu...installation....s/w update,,allow box to reboot,dont touch anything until done,then factory reset and rescan as above as in 229

[davidbackham]

Thanks for sharing and giving nice instruction.
I have a750 box i have followed your instruction but i couldn't download firmware as it say "Download Fail" i think i am stuck in last step.

I did connect using null usb adopter then i turned of the box then i clicked on "START" after 3 seconds i plugged in box then computer screen show downloading 0%, after few seconds it says "Download Fail"

any help would be appreciate..

[cactikid]

if you have the jan firmware on box you should have the option
to s/w upgrade with remote no cables or pc needed

[davidbackham]

I got A750. thanks for replying but when i Click on "S/W Transfer" that doesn't do anything!! can you tell me where should i click

[Federer16]

you need to select "s/w upgrade"

[davidbackham]

I DON'T HAVE THE OPTION CALLED "S/W UPGRADE" INSTEAD I GOT "S/W DOWNLOAD" BUT THAT DOESN'T DO ANYTHING

[chsonu]

hello guys,

1) I connect my STB with computer using USB null cable.

download STB editor

Download the Image file from this website.

when i try to upload the Image file, it says


( Download Is Not Requested ).

what i am doing wrong?

2) try to download something from STB to PC.

Same error message.

3) I shitch the STB off from plug,then When i click on start to upload Image to box, I plug the STB back on.

but still same error message.

any idea?


I bought this box brand new online, the funny thing is it has no option under installation to ( S/W update ). which I had in my old box which burn due to electric shock.

[cactikid]

follow the guides closely,you may need drivers for usb device,if you had a pc with xp and a serial port it would be easier,are you running vista or windows7?

[Jagga001]

Hi, guys..

I think i've read and re-read this thread 2-3 times but i'm stuck on what seems to be nearly the final stage.

I've flashed, uploaded the A750 F/W and then connected it to the TV, factory reset, connected the i-conn and then scanned for channels. BUT, my i-conn is only displaying a single green light which is the Power one.

My i-conn's lights were all flickering earlier on the old firmware, which nearly eliminates hardware problems.

Anyone been in a similar situation or has a walk-around?

Thank you

[Jagga001]

Don't worry guy's, issue resolved :)

[haz]

I have the same promlem how did you resolve it M8

[DW190]

I have the same promlem how did you resolve it M8

Probably by powering off and back on the Iconn and router.

[haz]

I have tried that and still only one green light
Have reflashed the box and rescan still no luck
Looks to me the i connector may be locked in a cycle
is there any way to reprogam the i connector

Download WINRAR & use to open file. You don't open bin file, just
place it in letterbox on loader

[EAMO 2]

Don't worry guy's, issue resolved :)

You came on DK, downloaded any necessary files.
When you had a problem you asked for help.
When you resolved problem you posted back;
I'M ALRIGHT JACK-------F**K YOU
That's not good enough. If I was A moderator you would be banned until you posted an apology to DK membership for
your selfish behaviour. If you had not resolved your issue
my money says you would be on here pleading for help

Not aware of any expiry date with KV boxes. Check are FTA chls
showing, then check settings in menu on box,auto connect etc.
Turn off box & router for 1 min, reboot router then box. If you get no result fac-reset box, re-flash with latest firmware

Make sure COM1 is the port assigned to rs232 port. You may need to re-assign rs232 port as COM 1,2,3,or 4. If using USB-rs232 lead
same applies,try diff USB port or reassign USB port to 1,2,3,or 4
When flashing you can change ComPort setting on STB-editor to
Com1,2,3,or 4

Hello people, wonder if anyone can help?

Just got the A780
Trying to flash the 24042011 bin but I keep getting 'download failed'.
I've had a good read and a google (apologies in advance if it's covered and I've missed it) but my issue seems different to tother people's in that failure happens at anything from 8% to 55% so I assume that my null cable connection, communication etc is ok? It's the cable I used many times on my eurovox with no issues.

My set-up
Win XP
COM 1 (I've changed the bit rate to 115200 but still no success)
STB Editor ver 1
Null modem cable (not usb adapter)

Thank for any help/advice you can give

Dools

[lincsat]

I have the port set at the default 9600 - 8 - none - 1 - none.

Could it be that you have a corrupt file. Thy loading the un-patched file first, or even the January file - and make sure the connector is firmly in the box, if you also have the scart connected they sometimes are a bit tight.

Thanks for the reply. I've tried the other 2 files from bigmaq and also re-downloaded the april file but this time from from this site but still had no success with any of them.

Connector is screwed in.
No scart lead attached, just the null modem cable.
I've ordered a usb convertor and cable from ebay so that I can eleminate my pc serial port and the existing modem cable as the possible problem.
I'll keep you posted.

Thanks again

thanks for the help in this page.

[hiranuk]

Hi

I have KV A780, does anyone know of any other user interface that i can flash. The defaut one is rubbish. What i mean is when you press the green button to being up the catergory view, if you want to delete a category eg Radio, and Live events you cant do it, you can only delete the channels within the category. Also its not easy to see what programme is on, you have to press the EPG button, with the Starview when you press the ok button the channel list comes up and beside each channel it tells you what programme is on. Does anyone know if there is another image that can be flashed that has a different look and feel.

[vijayhirani]

hi all
thanks for all the help.
