Watch out when flashing with 260, If you have a clone box,you will kill the box.It will not reboot if you switch off at mains.
There is a 260file especially for clone boxes

HI all heres an update good news I reflashed the box with 257eE_api and it's working fine. I originaly flashed it with 260_api and 257 & 259_api's all were posted by asad78611. All these files did not work on my box and left it in a state of limbo. It is a genuine starview box.

the remote tells me that you have a genuine first generation starview. It should be ok with the new firmware.

thanks for the quick response Steo.
After thinking about it I am going to check with a friend that our remotes have not been switched because the more I look at the pictures my box is identical to the clone box. It is smaller than the original.

the clones were based on the first generation starview which was a smaller box than the starview that is on sale now.

257 will not autoupdate. we are waiting on the fixed ver300 which will not cause channel freeze. Hopefully it will be released soon.

Tried flashing my box with version 3 today. I had to buy a USB to Serial convertor cable as my laptop only has USBs.
Went through the process, clicked on download, download started, but always stayed on 0%. Had troule locating COM port initially, selecting COM3 was the only one that worked.
Do you think the convertor is the problem? it came with software and seemed OK.
Maybe daft question, should I have been connected to internet during this process.
Thanks

The usb to serial adapter takes about 20 mins to transfer the file compared to flashing from a real serial port which takes about 1 minute. give it a bit of time and see what happens.

Hi Hallcross. Yeah I had the same problem when I changed from serial port to USB port. It selects com port 3 but this never works you have to maually configure it to ports 1 or 2. It will might say these ports are currently in use but providing you havent got anything plugged in to them it just means that they have been in use in the past. Once you maunually configure the ports to the USB you will find that the lead will work and as Steo says it does take so much longer but you will start to see it downloading straight away - just slower. Hope this helps!
