I just can't Flash :-(

[callas]

Okay, I've got the latest firmware (30.11.08) read the guide on how to flash the krypview, done everything it says i.e linked up box and laptop, plugged boc to main supplies and I cant go any further! On the guide is says to open the icon that looks like a satellite dish, but I cant even see this icon!

Any one got any suggestions? even downloaded the downlaod tool from this site and nothing is happening :-(

Download loader from here...

Digital Kaos - Downloads - Arnet Kryptview Loader

Run loader, click download, select firmware from your PC, make sure it's set to com1, click start, then turn on box. It should start to flash.

If not, are you sure your cable is a null modem cable? Do you have a com port on the laptop or are you using a usb-serial adapter?

make sure you have the correct cable.

Open up the software loader - click on option "tool" and go to "loader" and click on "loader send". The loader now opens up.


Click on "open" and scroll to where you saved the bin file on your pc. Now rig up the pc and box with your null modem. Make sure the box is off at the mains.

Now click on "start" and quickly turn the box on at the wall. Your box will start to flash.

Cheers Guys, but when I open the loader and locate my firmware it says it cant find a bin file within my folder?

It says no items match your search?

This is what i do and works everytime
:: disconnect box from mains and cable (so all you have is box and a plug)
:: connect usb to laptop then to 9 pin to box (null cable)
:: plug box in and turn on you (should have 4 numbers on display)
:: Find the down-loader on desktop you downloaded (it looks like a grey satalite dish) and double click with mouse
:: Press on the green download button
:: another box appears (code send)
:: press open
:: locate the latest kryptview file in this case 29/11/08 (should be on desktop)
:: click on it once so is highlighted
:: press open
:: this info is now in the box that says file
:: select the comport number
:: turn box off at wall
:: press start
:: switch box back on
:: if correct comport selected you should now see download going up in percentage (on laptop)
:: green line should be going round and round (on box display)
:: if not try another comport and try again (one will work! Honest)
:: when it gets to 100% look on box front the green line should now be going round really fast (flashing)
:: dont disconnect cables until box switches itself off and on again (reboots)
Congratulations you have flashed your kryptview
:: connect back up to scart and cable
:: press menu
:: installation (automatic)
:: select correct cable provider for your area
:: press start
:: when finished go to sly sports channel and wait for it to unlock itself (job done!)
Enjoy your viewing

Cheers Wilf, but i'm still havin trouble loading the firmware to the loader, it just keeps saying "no items match your search" Think i'll delete the firmware an download it again

[wilf]

yea the 1 i got is 29/11/08 and works fine

callas the file you download is in a rar file. you must unrar (extract) the file first. google winrar and download that it will allow you to extract the bin.

Again people thanks for the advice :-)

Guys wat does download not requested mean?

sounds like you are trying to flash with the box turned on (it needs to be off; hit download then turn on) or you have a faulty cable. most likely the first scenario.

Or a bad or non functioning null cable. Are you using a USB to serial adaptor??
