I just can't Flash :-(

Are you using desktop(9pin to 9pin null cable required) or lap top(usb to 9 pin cable required) also check where you got firmware from if in doubt delete it and download the 30/11/08 from here it works fine, you will need to get winrar if it not already on puter to extract the files. if download not requested it usually means you haven't turned box off prior to pressing the download or start button you then turn box on and it will be requested by the box when it boots up

yeh its a 9pin to 9pin cable
tried changing the firmware but still get the same message
the box is being turned off and on quickly enough as there is two of us trying to do this
bit frustrated because don't know what else it could be
have tried it on 2 different p.cs as well both running xp

[emma]

am now getting UART initilization failed
any ideas what that means?

edit: ok only get that message if i try a different com number from 1

[wilf]

you dont need to alter com port when using 9 pin to 9 pin. if you connect box up to tv can you only get the fta channels? can you find out what it says in system info?

[emma]

system info
date; 04/04/08
software version; kryptview pv1.6.00
h/w version; v1.2.0

picking up free channels no problem
and some virmin channels but all those say waiting for code update

[wooper]

Try going to sky sports 1.

see if that helps

[wilf]

ok was just checking there is nothing wrong with box, if you can get to fta channels and syatem info, it can only be that you are not doing something quite with flash, try this! connect up cables and loader with firmware and do not switchbox on at all till you have pressed the start button. yes it needs to be updated to 29 /11/08 firmware, after it done it will say in system info 26/09/08 odd i know but its just an update that been added to an old firmware.

i have 260908 on my box after it had been falshed but i was still missing channels. sky sports 1, 3 sky 1, 2 , 3 and virgin i have scanned of a direct feed as well. any1 help

[wilf]

did you put on sly sports 1 to update as this gives out the strongest signal so when it unlocks, it unlocks all the others. If i have any un opened channels i put on standby when not in use and the kryptview scans for channels when sleeping so they are normally there next time i switch on....... Bigto1000 i have just read another post where it says that you have the 28/11/08 software on, if this the case there were channels missing on this software so it will need updating to 29/11/08 to get those channels back, which was bought out to counteract that problem.

Try a factory reset and rescan on a different location.
