Newbie Help!

Hi guys,

I flashed my box with the "The Box 4.57 & Loader" firmware and it all completed successfully. However after the cable box rebooted it displays the logo "TheBox" and won't do anything else.
I believe i have an original (not clone) S2 box as the firmware that was on there originally was:

4.00e_E
Bootloader: 7

Can anyone help?

Thanks in advance

Thanks for the quick reply maca58,

Have tried on/off, same thing - logo appears and won't le me do anything e.g. go to menu etc.
Have tried a re-flash and it says "flash failed".
I hope this is not a brick....

ok when you flash your box. press download and wait a few seconds then turn the box on from the back. this might take a few goes but will sort you out m8...

ok, will try that...
Do i need to have the box connected to the tv and cable as well?

btw, am i correct in saying that i have a starview2 box?
That has been the hardest thing for me, figuring out what box i have.
It would be nice to have a sticky that easily explains to newbies what type of box they have...

no m8 just connected to your pc.
if its a starview 2 it will say "thebox" on the top left hand side.

ahhh...
It doesn't say "thebox" on the top left hand side, it just says "starview".
This doesn't sound too good....

sounds like its a starview 1 so you need this Digital Kaos - Downloads - Starview 1 UK AU Fix v1.5 (http://www.digital-kaos.co.uk/forums/downloads/starview/23/uk-au-fix-starview-1-480/)

Mr maca58 what is the next level after DK veteran? Because that's what you are!

Re-flashed the fix! Thanks!

Now, before i make any more mistakes...i'm looking for the latest firmware so i don't have to enter any manual codes. From the posts here and looking at the d/load section i don't believe there's anyting more that can be done with a starview1 box? I hope i'm wrong...

rescan m8.
menu factory settings.0000
auto scan
then menu 1570
turn emu on
then exit out to sly chnnl and let the box update.

D'oh! forgot the emu = on bit.

Are you sure there isn't a DK General or Jedi Knight level or something?;)
