Have looked through forum and have all thanks correct leads , adapters but cant seem to get it going and judging from the responses the fix does seem to work , think mine is starview 1 as the box logo is situated top left above power switch ( front ) Many thanks guys and keep up the good work , bucko.

Some SV2 have been a little problematic.
Below is a fix from Zran posted on 16 dec

After i flashed my starview 2 with the latest firmware fix, it was stuck on "On" although I had 4.54 previously and not a cloned box.



How he fixed it:

Used the 4.03 updater -
Download -> YouSendIt - Send large files - transfer delivery - FTP Replacement

Flashed the Starview with firmware 4.51e (App File Only) This should stop the box being stuck on "On" but not fix the KeyRoll
Download 4.51e-> YouSendIt - Send large files - transfer delivery - FTP Replacement

Flashed the starview with firmware 4.54e (Box might get stuck again)
Download 4.54e ->YouSendIt - Send large files - transfer delivery - FTP Replacement

Flashed the starview with Logo file as Background Data file (Might still be stuck on On)
Download Logo file ->YouSendIt - Send large files - transfer delivery - FTP Replacement

Flashed the Starview with latest firmware 802E - It might still be on "On" but plug it into the TV and check if you seen any menu.
Download 802E -> YouSendIt - Send large files - transfer delivery - FTP Replacement



if still blank.. no menu or channels, ....continue below..


1) Connect the box to the computer with the Null modem cable, switch it off at the back of the box.

2) Load the latest firmware into GTrom again and set it to the correct com port (usually default settings) and select "App File only"

3) Turn the box back on using the switch and Immediately after hit DOWNLOAD in GTrom. It may take a few seconds to connect 10-20seconds. This might not work the first go, but turn it off and keep trying and hitting download, took me 3 goes, before it kicked in and starting downloading.

You won't see the number % on the Starview. Only green lines moving left to right.

Towards the end of the flash you'll see a message in GTRom saying FLASH BURNING. Then it will reach 100% and wait for the download complete pop up box to appear & the box will reboot back to factory setup.

Although my box was still stuck on "On" at this point, i plugged it into my TV and the menu was there. (WooHoo!)

4) You will have lost any channel data previously on the box & will need to autoscan for channels & switch on EMU (Press 1570 in the menu) and set the box up from scratch.


...GOOD LUCK!
