guess im gona order a serial port for pc then ? is it worth my time does this work in a nag3 area ?

[barrowmanandrew]

m8, if your getting the "download not requested screen"
it means your box is not talkin to your pc......
you have probably got you seriel port number wrong....
in order to help, need following info:
1. does your pc have a seriel connection or are you using a usb to seriel converter
2. do you have the drivers for converters
3. whick operating system are you running?

[mrmarr]

cheers barrowmanandrew

im using a serial to usb, no serial port (new mobo)
im on win 7

what do you mean by " drivers for converters" ? i have installed the driver for usb to prolific serial cable and its defo on comport 4 (it shows me in manager)

[barrowmanandrew]

reboot your computer
then plug in your usb to seriel converter.
an icon should appear on your taskbar b(bottom right).
if you float your mouse over it, it will give you correct port number
when you uise a usb to seriel converter, you need a driver. normally these converters come with a disk

ill do that n let you know how it goes
thanks for the help

if you follow the tut,box has to be off then press download and power box on it should load.
also does the file need extraction first as in a zip file/rar file.

Just recap on what you should be doing:

On the STB Editor click on
green download
code
send
open
select your bin file and double click on it
the route to it should now appear in the choose a filename box
select your comm port
press start
power on the box.

I'm using windows 7 but cant remember if I got the drivers off the net or the disc.

im using DownTool_0927, you say "On the STB Editor click on" ? is that on the set top box gui ? because i havent had it plugged into a tv yet, at all ! just tried to flash it straight away . do i need to plug it into my tv and set it up first ???
using downtool i am doing the following "box is off i am clicking the green download button then selecting bin Kryptview_A780_24082010, choosing the port my pc says the cable is on, and pressing start then turn on the stb .... and again with the dl'ing error ???

just down'd a diff driver "PL2303_Prolific_DriverInstaller_v1210" il see if that works ??? worth a shot ...
nah its the same driver package i had iv just tried a reinstall of it

[hearts]

No you don't need it connected to a TV before flashing.

Try switching the box off on again after pressing "download"

We are asuming here that it didn't come flashed. Although that shouldn't make any difference.

Are you definitely using a "null modem cable"
