Hi i have had this box for a few years, i have in the past had to download new firmware and also manually update the codes.
This box has been off for a few weeks now, all channels showing "code being updated"
I have tracked down the latest codes and manually put them in but nothing is changing, i have tried turning off the box and updating on sky sports but that just resets all the codes to the old ones. nothing i do seems to work.
I have been through all the treads on here to get an idea of what to do but with no joy. please can anyone help.
many thanks
Tina

Have you got your box in standby when flashing also are you using a USB adaptor. You only need the power cable to the box and of course the Null modem cable plugged in.

Usually powering the box off/on sorts this have patients and keep trying, are you sure you have a Null modem cable and not an RS232 serial cable? try a factory default before flashing the box with either firmware then if still no luck all I can say is try it on another PC/Laptop.

hello Hiteck, just to let you know that i have sorted my box.
someone adviced me that although i have n**/vir**. this area in hertfordshire used to be telewest. I found an update code starting 5c01 and tried that. and its all back up and running. thought maybe this info will help you when you help others.
thankyou once again for taking the time to help me, your a star.

So you opted for the c@des temp fix, did you mean 5A01 as 5C01 is C&W? but i'm sure you know that will only last for a short while and you would be better in the long run to get it flashed but obviously that's up to you, at least your sorted for now.
If you decide to flash it come back and one of us will try to help, all the best :)
