[wilf]

i cant say as ive seen that error before,are you doing as per these instructions? http://www.digital-kaos.co.uk/forums/f99/kryptview-firmware-loading-guide-tutorial-42524/

[nottzlad21]

[wilf]

have you got the loader that looks like a grey satalite dish on your desktop and the binfile you want to put on

[nottzlad21]

i got the program can u give me the bin file

[wilf]

you need this the binfile /firmware Digital Kaos - Downloads - Kryptview 120709 (http://www.digital-kaos.co.uk/forums/downloads/arnet-kryptview/31/kryptview-120709-793/)

and this the loader Digital Kaos - Downloads - Arnet Kryptview Loader (http://www.digital-kaos.co.uk/forums/downloads/arnet-kryptview/31/arnet-kryptview-loader-426/)

download them both and save to desk top

[nottzlad21]

it keeps saying downloading not reqested

[wilf]

are you using laptop or desk top? what cables do you have? and at what point is the download not requested coming up

[nottzlad21]

im using desktop im using null modem cable when i click send

[wilf]

make sure you turnbox power off then press send then turn box on again

[nottzlad21]

ok ill try again

[nottzlad21]

still not work am i doin sumit wrong i just did what u said

[wilf]

i dont know if you doing it wrong m8,if you following hitecks excellent instructions i dont see why it wont work. i have done hundreds of these that way with no probs, so would say it may just be timing of the turn off and on. keep trying and see if you can do it if not post back and will try to work out where it gpoing wrong

[nottzlad21]

what the timmimg u got to do

[wilf]

by timings. i mean switching the box off then press send, i count to three then turn box on again and it works for me

[nottzlad21]

ok ill try

[nottzlad21]

still dont work its starting to get on my nerves

[wilf]

try changing the comport to a different number on the loader

[nottzlad21]

it says mits com 1 in my device manager

[wilf]

it usually is com1 when using desktop am just trying to work out why its saying not requested, i cant get it to say that on mine

[wilf]

not got it mate, hopefully someone will have another idea when they come in from work

[nottzlad21]

ok mate no worrys

[nottzlad21]

how do i get it on channel 0000 again

[mtv1]

line at the top)
• So its START-RED-RED-STANDBY

are you doing this

[nottzlad21]

yeah i did it loads

[nottzlad21]

i think it my be my comport the problem

[cactikid]

are you sure it is the null modem cable you have and has it been used before

[nottzlad21]

it came in the packet its got 2 female ends

[cactikid]

what size is the file you are trying to put on box

[nottzlad21]

1.25 MB is that right

[cactikid]

1280 kb and it needs to be extracted as it is a compressed file

[nottzlad21]

could you send it me is that file i was using wrong

[cactikid]

correct files are here on site and when downloaded are in compressed state and will need extracting. 12072009 is latest

[Evastar]

Does it say null modem on your cable, you might just have an ordinary rs232? Where did you get it from?

[nottzlad21]

i got it with my kryptview its got to female ends

[Evastar]

That doesn't necessarily make it the right cable, they have been known to send the wrong cables out with boxes before, an ordinary rs232 won't work.
Check and see what's written on it, does it say null modem anywhere? What happens when you try to download to the box does it recognise that anything is plugged in?

And have you extracted your bin file? You need to use win rar for that.

[nottzlad21]

yeah i extracted it it dont say null modem cable all it says its downloading not reqested

[nottzlad21]

thats when i try downloading it

[Dreamer]

ok answer these questions please

1 did you download the file from here?
2 Did you unzip it?
3 what makes you think you have a null modem cable?

[nottzlad21]

yeah i did all of them and it said null modem cable when i bought my kryptview box

[Dreamer]

ok then if your sure it is a null modem cable and not an rs232 the there is something wrong with the process. I was gonna suggest that you get someone with a volt meter/continuity tester to check the cable for you to make sure it is the correct one. have you been using hiteck's guide which was posted bye wilf in post number 6?

[mtv1]

i think myself its remote problem take your time entering red red standby , put in new batteries , null modem cable works fine its female at both ends 9 pins at both ends one side goes in puter other in box

[nottzlad21]

yea i tryed red red stanby and switch it off at the back then on

[mtv1]

don't switch box off at back make sure it says 0000 on box then start red red stand by lol

[nottzlad21]

i aint turned it off i keep pressing red red standby but the 00000 keeps coming up

[imsiboxlover]

Gonna try downloading it for the first time, will let ye knboe how I get on!!! I am a dopey git, so who knows how this will go!!!
