Its on COM 1 now, I have gtrm 4 open with the 400 bin file in window[/quote)
You must set the port for the USB-Serial convertor
I've now flashed a SV1 with both firmwares you mentioned and with the correct one with no problems. Your problem seems to be your Port configuration.

Try sly two if it's the latest firmware.

Thanks for the offer, Pip...but it's a laptop from work so can't go down that route.
I have COM2 in serial port window of GTROM V4...this matches the Hardware Device Manager number. Tried to download again a few times but still won't get past 0% and flash failing window appearing after about 20 secs.
I know I've been bugging you for the last few hours...is there anything else I can do before I give up!

if it's definately a null modem cable you're using try changing the port to 1 or 4

Matty sorry for butting in , apologies Pip.. just having a laugh earlier!!!
Matty I have just had a look through your posts it seems your not sure which box it is you have as you mention S/V 1.. S/V 2 The BOX and theres even mention of the S/V 3 Super, So if you flashed it with the wrong firmware, and its showing flashin lines on the box then yes it whats called a BAD FLASH please read here for a solution:
http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/531363
Its the 3rd post down
Matty is it possible for you to take the box over to a mates house who has a stand alone PC with windows XP and get one of the cables here:
http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/674371
its a straight NULL MODEM cable and forget about the Com POrts and usb cables etc
Try this and at least we can eliminate this if it doesnt sort the box for you!!!

No problem DesB! All help appreciated.
It is a SV 1 genuine that I have...and yes it was flashed with wrong firmware. Think the option of taking it to a mates house is best. Will try this over weekend and report back.
Thanks to all and glad I provided some entertainment!!

Hello Des, and good evening, it is a Starview 1 matty has got, he just does not know what his mate flashed it with, that's why he has mentioned both The Box and The Box Super. And yep matty, it is your best bet to eliminate the USB Adaptor first as Des has suggested, sorry I had to leave, but needs must I'm afraid. Also try a straight flash onto the box with an earlier version of Firmware, one that no longer updates, this sometimes works, if you are successful then you can flash as normal later.

Don't mind anyone butting in
BUT if you read his posts correctly you should know that he has a SV1 which has been flashed with SV2 or SV3 firmware.
He also has a USB to Serial lead.
His problem is quite simple to sort out.
CONFIGURE THE PORTS CORRECTLY!
PC problem not box! Ive flashed my SV1 with both firmwares and recovered from it.I even flashed it with SV4 So not a box problem a PC one.
Ned to know what OS is on the laptop now.
