Kryptview Firmware Loading Guide / Tutorial.

[Silverfox47]

I wish DW, as that would hopefully be the answer to my troubles. But unfortunately, I'm in Swindon. :-( I'll probably kick myself once I see it done, but it's just getting past this hurdle. I'll take a good look at the how I have it set up in the morning again, but I need to hit the sack now tonight. I'll keep you posted how I get on. Thanks to both of you for the advice.

hope he dont say bought in maplins .

box normally comes with cable,did you recheck?

[cactikid]

so maybe another wrong cable issue again ,wont be the first
or last

[Silverfox47]

Yes, it was Maplins I think. Maybe I need to get another then. But I didn't get any cables with my box.

[cactikid]

2 identical cables look the same,null modem has a cross over wire for flashing boxes,the other is straight wired and does not work.

If he's used a PC with XP and he got different responses from comm ports 1 & 2 its odds on its the cable.

One comm port dead (wrong one)

Other comm port "Not requested" (talking but through distorted mouth) wrong cable).

Does this make sense Caty?

[cactikid]

any mates got boxes as they might have a cable

[chelski]

Followed instructions and everything worked fine.

[Silverfox47]

Just recieved my cable, and what do you know! It worked a treat. A massive thanks guys. I just feel a plonker for not realising myself! :-( Anyway, The Silverfox Fox is a happy chappy now, so once again thanks. :-)

Excellent tut

this tut makes it so simple I tried everything. Finally sorted.
Make sure you dont power down the unit before scanning for channels. Thats where I was going wrong. once youve scanned and updated its done

Hi guys,

I have read this thread from top to bottom but still can't get the "Kryptview A780-03012011 firmware" to d/load to my box.

Ihave the box connected to a 9yr old XP desktop PC using a null modem cable that came with my box. I get the dreaded message "Can't open serial portcom" on all coms apart from com3. When I try com3 I get the message "The downloading is not
requested" I am using the correct com settings.
I am sure I have tried all the fixes in the thread, but to no avail. I am nearly at the end of my tether and thinking of sending the box back.

Does anyone have any other ideas apart from what has been said on this thread ? Could it be a dodgy box or cable ?

I would really appreciate any help.

Thanks for reading

Valerie

Have you turned the box off before pressing download then switch box on after a few seconds ???

Do you mean before pressing "START" to start the download. If so, yes I have tried this.
