                  If your box has gone blank after flashing the latest bin files then this is what you need to do.

                  1. Get GTrom v4.03 loader
                  2. Get the"thebox_logobg" bin file
                  3. Open the loader select background data file
                  4. click on BIN, select the "thebox_logobg" file.
                  5. Click download
                  6. Your box will work again.

                  The reason this is happening is because you are upgrading from ver4.51 to the latest file. In between these updates the was another update that required you to install the background data file. Those who upgrade from 4.54 will not be affected.

                    mine is working !

                    Thanks so much lads my box is up and working. Bought a cable off the net which arrived in a couple of days and followed the threads listed. Didn't start right away though I had to turn EMU on and turned to Sk/Sports 1 which said it was updating and then hey presto

                        But this thread is discussing the Starview 3 (The Box Super) flash v8.02e.....you're on about the Starview 2 (The Box) flash of the same name - the one that requires a later version firmware on the box than 4.51, and that comes in a pack.

                        LOL...this is why I thought it a bad idea for the author of the SV2 fix to name it 8.02e. I seen this confusion coming.

                              Sorry mate, Can you please tell me where to find the bin files? All I got from the download section is just the loader. Or is that all I need to flash the box. My API version that on the box is 4.54e-E and its a Starview 3. Please help. Thanks
