As Noely said , you need 4.00eE for genuine b0x and make sure you have it on STANDBY

if you have the b0x connected to your TV, disconnect it.
you dont have to connect it to your TV while updating.
to put it on STANDBY press the RED button on the top left hand side of your remote.

you might already have the firmware on the b0x.
Try this :
go to s*y spo*ts 1
press MENU
then 1570
go to "set default key" press ok.
look down & make sure your EMU is on.
EXIT EXIT EXIT back to s*y sp*rts 1
let it update, & if it updates then you are ok.

Click on menu/system information. That will tell you what firmware is installed on your box. What cable region are you in?

It is not necessary to put the box on standby to reflash it although it is recommended. nor do you need to disconnect it from your TV.

If you are using a serial adapter for a USB port your laptop or PC will tell you if it is working or not.

Make sure the correct port is selected in GTRom if in doubt try another until it works.

That is the wrong version.
Sounds like you have a clone. You need v257e FIXED.

v4.00 is for genuine boxes

If you are sure it is a genuine box (and the vent count supports that) then you need v4.00 firmware
