usb adapters give a lot of grief to some people, can you get access to a computer with the rs232 port as its much simpler.
also did you try a different com port

[stevyjeeds]

tried different com port and usb keeps failing when gets to 100% tried 4.54 4.55 4.57 any ideas?

[smoggy]

in device manager right click on your com port and click on properties
in the box that opens click on port settings then the advanced tab and untick the box Use FIFO buffers

just unticked box and tried loading 4.54 on to box got to 100% and said flash update failed i think the box is just fcked i really dont havea clue now

[smoggy]

I take it you only have the null modem/usb adapter and power cables connected to your box
and you are only ticking the app file only box in the gtrom loader

in the advanced port settings you could try reducing the settings on receive and transmit buffers

you could try to see if you can successfully load an early firmware like 400eE you would need gtrom 4.0 (if you get an earlier one to load you could build up from there)

but most of all go to someones desktop where you can try without the USB adapter which is most likely the problem.

ill try loading an earlier image im on a different computer as im at my dads house in burnley although he does not have a serial port , but i have updated his stview 2 on this computer with exact same lead etc.

[stevyjeeds]

just tried downloading 4.00ee image and used gtrom4.0 got to 100% and said flash update failed is this box a door stop ?

[stevyjeeds]

i got a serial port friends pc i connected lead up withoutusb used gtrom 4 and image 4.0ee and it got to 100% said falsh update failed

[Fergal]

As said earlier when it says update failed did you wait for a minute as sometimes is changes to update succesful.

[stevyjeeds]

its got to 100% now then said failed ill leave it for a a bit then matey see if it works. im using null modem cable now from serial on back of pc. there is no percentage on stview 2 just green line moving across when its downloading image. the green line is moving a lot faster than when i was tryin with the usb to serial lead. thank you for your reply . i will not be defeated

[stevyjeeds]

i left it for 5 minutes and it did not change .
