starview 4 usb brick

[martin-f]

use the v1.07 in uk m8 its not the latest but wise to use as other f/w can kill clones and older genuine boxes

and read the tuts for flashing the sv4 very critical or you will brick it.

responding to your message for help with 8882

you need to get a 8882 fix adapter kit bud

tailor made circuits (on line) sell the 8882 fix adapter (?15)
maplins sell the null modem lead (?10) and you will need to get a
usb - com port converter from maplins (?4) if you don't have a com port on your lappers or pc.

follow the instructions that come with the 8882 adapter and you should be fine, No promisses but its worked for me.

All the best

hello

Fix For Error 8882
Use loader GTROM-V25 loader
1. Connect RS232 Null Modem cable between PC & Max 232 Adaptor
2. Open the lid of your sv4 and look directly behind the USB you will see a 4 Pin connector
Looking at this from front view pin 1 = vcc+ Pin2 =TX Pin 3 = RX Pin 4= Ground
3. Using your max232 Adaptor connect the Wires to corosponding pins Vcc to vcc Tx to Tx Rx to Rx Ground To Ground
4. Select Serial port COM 1 Etc Baud Rate Fixed As 115200.
5. Browse the BIN file to download and select File Type
6. Click "DOWNLOAD" first and turn the receiver power OFF/ON to download
7. After download completed ,wait another 30 seconds more until rebooting finished.
I hope this will get you all out of this misery of error8882 Attached is the loader and bin file
Needed
8. if Error Appears check the reason an try againor follow the reason displayed

hi all

[Wozzie]

Hi I have recently purchased the Starview usb/panset 8882 fix and am in the process of trying to fix the 8882 problem. I've been following the instructions but when trying to download the .bin file it keeps giving me a Can't Open COM1 message. I've tried the other COMs but the same message is displayed am i doing something completely wrong?

[Wozzie]

Yes i am mate this is the second computer (laptop) i've tried it on the first was a direct serial link without the need for an adapter.

[Wozzie]

I've tried all the options you've said but no luck i'm beginning to assume the box is pretty much dead or i'm stupid!!! The port on my laptop was set at 6 so thought that might have been the problem but I set it to 1 and it still didn't download. ports 2-4 are already in use.

[Wozzie]

Yes mate I think so on the box it says Serial Lead (Null Modem) - 9 pin (female). This is the right one isn't it?

[Wozzie]

Sorry mate I've tried the other PC and no joy there either. It's the first time i've tried using the cable and got it from Maplin. I've just notice on the box though that it seems to fire up a channel and is staying on it - do you think this is a temporary thing and it will reset back to the 8882 error after a while? Thanks for all your help by the way.

[Wozzie]

Thanks again Jok I'm up and running again but think I will purchase another cable just in case. I'm really not sure how it's working but will probably die agaian soon.

It does not seem to work, everthing is good till the download section, there is no progress bar, the display changes from 8882 to 8881. thats it.
