    Starview 2 problem..

    Hi Peeps
    Sorry for maybe repeating a thread but i am having problems with one of these Starview 2 boxes ...Now i don't know the history but it does not appear to be a clone (Checked the vents 27x7).
    No my friend has attempted to update to the new fix but keeps getting the 'on' light stuck on and a blank screen when connected.
    I have followed the guide in a thread below and have 4.51/4.54/logo/8.02 firmware....Now i manage to recover the flash when i put the 4.51 firmware back on and i can connect to the tv and scan channels etc ok.
    My problem then comes when i try to update to 4.54 ...the App file goes in as normal and i get the download ok....but when i load the logo file and try to send (Background data file) the download fails (Ie times out ) All this time the 'on' button is showing on the box.....The only way i can get anything to go to the box is by switching off and turning on the box as i press the download button....but then the file loads with the green chasing lights and then does a 'flash burn' and i'm back to square 1....
    I am not sure what firmware was on the box but i presume 4.54 as it was said to have been working up to the new key roll....
    But like i said i get to the 4.51 recovery and all works well until i try to flash the 4.54 .....so i am wondering if i need to try 4.52 then 4.53 and go up in sequence???? Only problem with this is i am unable to find these versions of older firmware???
    Any help would be great ...but will persist with it until then
    (I am using 4.03 version of the loader)

    I had exactly the same problem - go back to 4.51 then load the logo file from 4.52 beta using the background option first and the 4.52 firmware second using the api option - wait for reboot and the box display will stay at "on" but the screen should now display the language menu.
    The load 4.54 logo first again in background and the 4.54 firmware second in api - wait for reboot - again you should have the language menu !
    Lastly load the Dec03 fix firmware as an api or api+background and wait for a reboot - You should now choose language and go for a scan - hope it works for you !

        i did a power boot and that sorted it out
        switch box off @ back then then switch back on then hit download before the box has fully booted
        worked fine without having to go back to old firmware on two boxes
