[satsmo]

Have you looked through the red stickies above? Are you sure you have the correct cable/cables required for flashing?

Did you check to see if you have a genuine or clone model? If you have done all this have you contacted your supplier as the box should be under warranty?

There are plenty of answers here and members willing to help out, if you ask in the right manner.

fed up

i have done everything i must have the right cables because i can flash it so far
i have read the stickys im just gonna sell it ive had enough i asked the guy who i got it off he just said its weird nobodys knows and ive had enough
im thinking of getting a starview its usb so its got to be easier

[satsmo]

How about your supplier giving you a replacement, him saying its "weird" is not exactly customer support is it? Who was the supplier.

The Ex1000 is usually straight forward when flashing it.

fed up

bubble supplies aint had no tv a month kids are doing my nut in jus wanna watch cartoons i dont understand why it gets to 90% then says failed

[satsmo]

I have seen some clone boxes with the same symptoms. What firmware version did you use?

Send it back as faulty and ask for a replacement. If you prefer a Starview 4 I am sure they will look after you if they provide decent after sales support, which I heard they did have for a while. Saying its "weird" as they said is not support.

Also make sure that you get a genuine model if you are asking for a Starview 4. A clone box will have a silver heatsink on the CPU.
