matty your problem has to be with your PC.
As it's a PC problem please answer the following.
Which OS are you using (XP or Vista)?
Have you checked in hardware the port number that your USB-Serial cable is using?
In XP right click on My Computer and click on hardware tab.
You do not have a box problem but a PC one.

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!!!
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.
PIP.... IF you read the posts properly YOU might see that he mentioned THREE different boxes:
Quote:
My problem is that i downloaded wrong firmware on my starview 1 genuine before xmas. When I hooked up box to tv just got white background and " The Box" written on screen.
Its a starview 1 genuine based on what i ve seen in forum, i.e. positions of cable sockets and i ve 25x7 vents on top
It was either "The box" or " the box super" firmware I put on it originally
And this is what I was trying to establish, so please tell me were I didnt read the post correctly!!!
Furthermore I did establish that he has indeed a USB to serial lead and that obviously this way isnt working for him, that is why I advised him to try the Straight NULL MODEM Product Number L71BT
and see if this would work on a PC as opposed to the Laptop as this will simplify the task for him!!
you also said Quote:
"His problem is quite simple to sort out
well if its that simple why hasnt he been successful following your advice??

May sound a silly question but do you have a live feed from VM?
Also you haven't said which box.

Think we can safely say that matty will try over the weekend, and everyone now has the message. And no doubt it may be a PC related, if the USB Adaptor is eliminated, then it obviously is (After all this is how his mate flashed the box in the first place). But he also has got himself a Bad Flash situation as a result, so there it is, and yes of course pip, sometimes you will just get away with a simple reflash, (As I Suggested) but not always mate, other's do have problems, as in this case, but I honestly can't see the point in posting 6 consecutive posts when one would have done, after all matty did thank you and say before leaving that he would try Des's suggestion over the weekend.

My posts were in answer to what DesB had said who gave incorrect advice based on the previous posts.
I have repeated matty's problem on a SV1 I have here and sorted it.
I will say it again "it is not a box problem sort out your port settings on your PC"

Pip , I dont know who you are trying to p*ss OFF but I did not give wrong advice so please refrain from saying I did!!
you are saying you have sorted the problem... you have sorted nothing!!!
If you want to partake in the forum, well good luck... but dont come on here and tell Malci (AD Adict) or myself a senior member we are giving out the wrong advice... anything we suggest has been tried and tested and ....we will stand over it!!

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.
Originally by matty, notice that he says he's not sure about the firmware SV2 or 3. He has a SV1 will the solution from DesB sort it?

Now I am getting a little P***** with this, if you have sorted it well and good, but please, don't go rattling people, I have stated WHAT you have stated for god's sake. Now lets get back on track here, and stop trying to score points, it's not nice, and certainly not the way we work, and if possible edit your posts especially if yours is the last one, that is forum policy.

malci and DesB
I'm not trying to p**s anyone off I come on here just to help if I can.
As regards mattys problem I replicated it here with a SV1 and sorted it.His problem is most definately his port settings,
To be quite truthful I don't care about "forum addicts" or "senior members" I just care about users who have problems and if I can help them I will. And I will continue to do so.
