I have finally decided to take the plung and update the firmware on my Eurovox max v with UFL_MaxV_Kuro3_18_04_08.zip (1.25 MB)
At the moment I can not get any channels due to the usual codes updating and I do not have new codes. Can I still go ahead and update or do I need to have codes valid codes when I update firmware ?? :-)

I see no dumb people that are willing to learn :) BTW I use an old lappy for updates and I also have a few new ones but the old one is worth it weight in gold ;)

I have a old Toshiba Laptop ( no 9 pin port ) I might use that then when I get a USB Adaptor Its a bit slow but would probably be perfect for updates. Why have you a few new laptops? how many you need? :-)

If it's Max V black, then you will find it at the bottom of HiTech's post above, if you have problems then go into Eamo's Library at the bottom of my post and into Eurovox 4th down then into Firmware 4th down and download the Max V Kuro3_18_04_08 2nd from bottom. Front page of this thread will help you also.

1. Hook up your Eurovox to your PC using a null modem cable. (9 pin female to 9 pin female). Null Modem Cable must be used, looks the same as a standard RS232 lead but it is wired differently.
2. Run the Kuro Unified Flash Loader (download it here: http://www.mediafire.com/?xynenwxvyjy )
2a (Optional step: Press the Upload button to save your channel set up favourites etc as they currently are) Save this to a folder on your PC for use later.
3. Click on the 'download' button at the top of the screen.
4. The program will say 'Version 2.10 detected' (or it may say some other version!) and restart your Eurovox, it will then go through the downloading process, when finished it
will display 'Downloading is successful' .
5 . Press the Menu button on your remote, and then go into 'Config' menu and select 'Clear Data'
6. It will then ask for your PIN (default is 0000)
7.Then select 'Factory Default'
8. It will then ask you to select the symbol rate (I use 6.887 as I am on NThell Dublin).not sure if this matters at this stage though.
9. Press OK when 'Reset to Factory Default Settings' comes up
10. It will then say 'Wait to Factory Settings' and will then start to do a Full Power Scan (using the Symbol rate you selected earlier or you can change the symbol rate here)
11. It will then search through for channels, Go and make a cup of tea while it works away, do not interrupt it until it finishes.
12. It wil then exit to allow you to view your programs, but the code being updated message will probably come up for a while,
13. Put the box onto Sky Sports and go make another cup of tea. It may only take a few mins but again do not interrupt it (even if you think it is not working!)
14. Sky Sports will come up and all your channels will be back and you won't have to manually enter your codes anymore.
15. If you did the optional step at 2a, then browse to where you saved your file (CDF file) and click download in the lower box on the Kuro program, and it will reload your favourites etc. as
you originally had them.

Hi all, great post SG8 thanks. I've followed the instructions, got the null modem cable from Peats, downloaded the software and hooked up my laptop with the Eurovox but when I click on the download button on the software screen it just says "Waiting for receiver to respond"( I select COM3 as that's the only option that it seems to search under). Does anybody else have this problem?Thought it might be to do with the cable, but the guy in Peats told me it was defo a null modem cable...help!Thanks.

Hi Redrover, I had the same problem...
1 Make sure the box is powered off
2 Connect the null modem cable
3 Launch the application
4 Click download and then power up the box, choose the COM port that your box is connected to
It should detect and download the firmw@re.
