Recover Dead Skybox/Openbox Flash Using Serial RS232 Null modem Cable

[sewershark]

isn't there a dos command or a windows utility to redirect lpt to a com port

[slugworth]

loader needs a real rs232 port to function.

Hi i am also getting synching stbs ..
please reset target

but i have rs232 to lpt port no rs232 to rs232

could that be my problem

my box is constantly rebooting

[pisher]

boot

hi , can anyone help, i have a skyboxs12 it has stuck on boot i need a 4pin to rs232 adapter can anyone tell me where i can get this or show me what it looks like.
thanks pisher

[slugworth]

a moot point,since the program itself takes control over the comport when used.
I never mess with the windows default setting,which I believe are a lot different.
the loader uses even parity BTW.

[walkaton]

have you checked your com port setting (device manager)
port settings
bits per seconds :115200
data bits :8
parity :none
stop bits :1
flow control :Xon / Xoff
if your settings are the above then Slugworth makes good sense. check loader is selected with a tick applied timing start software before switching receiver on at right moment 7-10sec

[slugworth]

your timing is off,using the wrong cable,or using the wrong version loader.
You have to start the loader hit next then casually turn the receiver on.
