Returning SV4 to supplier 8882 error

[Lukeyboy247]

If you flash it with the origonal free to air bin file they cant tell the difference.
Its version 1.02 which brings your box back to origonal settings

O really, well thats helpful, do you have a link to the download? Or is it in the download section? Thanks

Its in my last post I've uploaded it to speedyshare for you to download.

Lukeyboy,

I also had the connector problem - found that if you hold it sideways with the metal contacts at the back of the plug connecting down onto the pins sticking up (at right angles) then the connection is more robust.

Given that we both bought from the same supplier, and both have non-standard J-Tag connectors (nobody else appears to have complained that the TMC lead doesn't just clip on), is this guy selling cloned boxes???

I must have had an earlier revision so,either way its the fta firmware.

[Lukeyboy247]

v1.03 is the original FTA f/w that is on the SV4 box, not v1.02

Have you got a link?

Spacerat, something is not right about this supplier, and I think you have hit the nail on the head, but what do you do? Are you still having trouble?

I ended up popping the wires out of the TMC adapter and then manually connecting them 1 by 1! I can reboot, and upload software, but as soon as I disconnect it returns to 8882, so frustrating!

Lukeyboy,

That was the same problem I was having with the firmware that came on the CD - when I downloaded the 1.07 from the download are and installed that, then it was OK. It has (touch wood) been OK for the past couple of weeks.

Cheers,

please help

Lukeyboy,

There is actually a really good readme file comes on the disk. The only things that you will need are:

1. Max232 cable
2. PC with serial port (9pin male) or USB to 9 pin serial adapter
3. 9 pin Female - 9 pin Female Null modem cable
4. BIN file downloaded from downloads section
5. Philips screwdriver to get the back off the box

Plug the Null modem cable into the back of the PC (or the USB adapter) plug the other end into the TMC adapter. Plug the TMC cable into the JTag port (the one beside the USB port) and then follow the instructions that are on the CD. Just make sure that you have the port settings correct for the Comm port (Start -> Control Panel -> (Classic View) System -> Hardware -> Device Manager. Open the Ports (COM & LPT), find the one you are looking for, double-click, Port Settings and make sure the speed is set to 115,200).

Any problems, just ask.

Cheers,
