Revived starview using jKeys with no problems.
Make sure your connections are good and that you're flashing with the flash 260 clone for flashing only firmware . (If you dont have this version ask and I will send it to you)

Power off the receiver. Connect JTAG. Power on. Use jKeys. Follow instructions. Once it's flashed, turn the box off and disconnect the JTAG from the parallel port. Leave the box for 30 seconds or so. Then connect box back to TV and cable feed and turn back on.

Shouldnt have any problems.
Once you've got this far just flash the new fixed 257 with autoroll firmware to it using GTLoader as normal. Remember that 260 and above are not safe for clones so if you flash that to them and turn box off then it's dead again and needs JTAG again.
